Snowing again!!!!!!

OK..this is getting really lame. It's the last day of March and we are getting a major snowstorm. They are forecasting 6-7 inches by nightfall and another couple overnight.

Of course, since the kids have the day off of school anyway, they had a grand old time playing until I made them go in because we were ALL soaking wet.

'80s Girl

Here's a spread for the latest book in my current round robin. The book's theme is MUSIC. I still need to come up with another spread before passing it along but this one just HAD to be done!

I scanned pictures from my teenage scrapbook for this page. What a hoot looking through that old scrapbook!!! I had mostly cut stuff out of magazines with just a few notes and photographs thrown in here and there.

Happy Easter!

Well, my folks just left after sharing a nice Easter dinner and visit with us. The kids have settled in to watch a movie. All is peaceful for the moment.

This sweet little Easter card is from my childhood scrapbook that mom faithfully kept for my first few years.

Natural Egg dyes

A couple weeks ago I ran across this tutorial on dyeing eggs using veggies. I just had to try it for myself.

I used turmeric and yellow onion skins for the orange eggs and red cabbage to make the blue eggs.

As soon as I get more eggs, I'm trying some other colors.

Chicken canvas

I made this 5x5 canvas piece for a friend that rescues chickens. Seriously!
She's giving me eggs so I figured I'd make her a little something in appreciation.

In case you can't read the fortune by the "C" is says Get off to a new start, come out of your shell. I thought it was mildly appropriate. :)
I hope she likes it!

SPRING????

Mother Nature is playing a little trick on us. The calendar says it's SPRING but it certainly LOOKS like winter.

With the day off for Good Friday, the kids had a blast! They helped me shovel for a bit but the 9+ inches of fresh fallen snow was just too tempting. "Mom, can we take a little break?" Have fun kiddos but quit eating the snow!!!!

Charms

I almost forgot to post these with my crazy mixed-up day.

I've started on the charms for the ABC 5th Anniversary charm swap. So far I have 16 put together. I'll be adding something to the backside of the scrabble tiles but haven't gotten it on there yet.

I can't take credit for the design concept...I received a fantastic charm in a swap on Latest Trends that these are based upon.
