Gearing Up for Sales

I spent weeks trying to find some craft sales to get into and nothing! Then all of a sudden there were many! Many is a common thought in my head! Some times I get too many ideas, have too many things on the go, and eventually I hit a brick wall because I have no where to go!

Anyway, I was thinking of some new ideas for two big sales that I have coming up, one near Easter and the two big ones for Mother's Day. Yikes I just realized they are back to back. I thought because one was in April and the other in May that I was ok. But it just so happens one is April 30th  and the other May 3st. Yikes! Wait until my husband finds out. Oh and the following Monday I am having my floors re done. You see, too much at once!  I digress, see how my brain works?

So here are a few samples of some of what I have been up to.....

And this......

Last night was my Friday night scrap booking class that I hold every Month and wow those ladies were quick! They are just getting that much better at what they do! I will post pictures soon of our pages so far.

Have a great, and enjoyable weekend everyone!

First Days of Spring

I wish I was writing about the beautiful weather, spring fever, grass peaking through on the lawn, the garden I am planning. Sadly, I am not! It seems like spring is taking forever to come a calling! By now I would normally be pulling out my capri pants, washing them and making sure I have a new top to go with them. I would be planning the garden, making a list of the new foliage and flowers I want to experiment with... you get the picture right? I think we are all feeling the same way.

I did take some time today to think of Mother's Day and Easter, and this is what I came up with.

The other day I was inspired to work with purple and blue for Mother's Day!

Today though, it was green, and my new favorite from Stampin Up, crumb cake.

I also have a sale that is close to Easter, so I thought I would try making some of these cute little kids Easter treat boxes. I did some in yellow, later in the week I will try a different color. This was more of a practice run, and a good way to use some of my leftover spring Creative Memories paper! I love finding ways to use my scrap paper!

Easter treat boxes

Since the sun was not shining, and we are all a little dreary around here, Haley and I went and bought rain boots so that we can at least go for a walk. The only color left in my size was red! I normally do not wear anything red, but I thought for rain boots, they would be fun!

So we are ready to take the dog for a walk tomorrow after an early end to the school day (and before tutor), yikes, I forgot to remind her! We are hoping for sunshine, and no ice to slip on, because we are both very good at randomly falling!

So I know they are not the most fashionable of rain boots, but what do you think! Bring on the puddles!

Have a great week everyone!
