I am so happy that it is Spring! I love the fact that everything is blooming and the grass is so green. I am not, however, happy that soon it will be shorts weather! Hmmm-I need to get my butt in gear on the 30-day Shred. So. I think that I have finished my Easter decor. Allow me to give you a tour. What's that-you don't want one? Oh well. Quit your whining and put on your big girl panties!!! Up first is my Spring wreath. I got it last year on clearance at Tar jay. This is what it looks like-cute, huh?
But, since times are a bit tough right now, I didn't want to have to go out a buy a wreath for every freakin seaon. I take this wreath and add to it. Yellow flowers for Spring-I'm thinking bright Gerber daisys for Summer. I LoVe my little green bunny from Pier 1-they have realllly cute stuff this year. I will be going there the day after Easter for sure!
These are my AdOrAbLe decoupaged eggs! I talked about how I made them in the previous post!!! So cute, but messy and time consuming!!!
I live in a small, 1960's house, so my mantel is really all I focus on/have room for Easter/Spring decor. X-mas~A whoooooole other ballgame!!! I am trying to convice myself to paint the brick and mantel whitish color, but I am scared as to how it will look!!! the eggs I talked about in the previous post. The filler in the hurricanes are jelly beans! My little bunny used to look like this:
(gotta love thrift stores and Wal-mart spray paint!! I found these cute eggs at Safeway-1.25$ for a pack. My glass bunny HAD some candy in it-I don't know what happened to it....
My little birds used to be major ugly...again, thank-you spray paint.
Moving on, I love me a pack of Tulips!!! They just have a magical of brighting up a room! My Pottery Barn bunny is going to get some more decoupaged eggs-I lied, I am not totally finished with decoraing!!!! That's about it! Thanks for stopping by!!!

It's starting to feel a bit like Spring & FYI!!!
I have started decorating, even though Easter is a month away, I saw a cool idea of Mod Podge plastic Easter eggs w/ scrapbook paper on another blog. They look way cute in my jars. The little bird was an UGLY colored thng from the Dollar Tree that a bit of spray paint took care of. I am going to get a couple more and place along my mantle. FYI~ I found out (and I may be late on this) that Illumnations is closing all stores. I got some great deals online yesterday, and then went to the one in the mall and scored as well. All of their glassware is 75% off!!!

First Snow!
We went to the snow with Brett for the first time-it only took 21 months!! We went to Truckee and had had lunch at a local diner and played around a bit. We then headed to a snow park and Brett got to experience the cold wet stuff....not quite sure if it a hit or a miss.
What am I doing here again?
OK~I can't feel my hands now!
