Scrappy Happy!

just a little project using some of my favorite things!

scraps from the scrap jar and vintage baubles...

all patched together to make happy little crosses...

just in time to hang from a few branches...

to create our "scrappy happy" Easter tree!

Are you ready for Easter next weekend???

I think I may need another week or two!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Many Blessings!

Sweet dreams...

When I visited one of my favorite blogs- Home & Harmony- recently

and saw the beautiful hand embroidered pillowcases

Rie had shared that she created for her daughters,

I knew instantly I wanted to create some for our girls too...

I had never embroidered before-

(yet, now I am completely smitten!)- but decided to give it a try!

for Princess #2 I simply chose her initials with two little kitties-

because she LOVES kitties!

and tonight she will find her new pillowcase with a small

piece of chocolate wrapped with a note from me...

I'm so excited just thinking of her sweet little head lying on her

pillowcase created especially for her with lots and lots of love!

and for Princess #1 I also simply chose her initials but with two little

birds in her favorite colors...


she too will find a wrapped piece of chocolate with a note from me...
and I'm anxious to hear in the morning if indeed both their dreams
were just a bit sweeter sleeping on their new pillowcases!

Thank you Rie for the wonderful inspiration!- now I may need to
attempt a tablecloth too! and napkins, and tote bags, and
clothes, and...told ya'll- I'm smitten!

Where little girls dream...

tucked in a cozy little bed...

beneath the magic sparkle from above...


in a room filled with special little treasures...


a soft place where troubles and fears can be rocked away...

a very own place to hang ones hat...

to hold precious memories...

a room created with lots of love...

just for our Princess #2...

a place where our little girl dreams.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Many Blessings!

Butterfly Kisses!

Definitely one of my favorite things!...

on my pearls to church...


on my jacket around town...

on my purse for a date with handsome hubby...

on a little pillow for a touch of spring...

on Princess #1's lampshade just to make her smile!

Oh goodness!

just about everywhere!

I'm so delighted to share just a small bit

of the Spring Collection with you! found here!

made with lots and lots of love!

Butterfly kisses to you!

Many Blessings!

Just what the Dr. ordered!

After a looong few weeks spent caring for very sick little ones...

(which just breaks my heart when all the cuddles and

mommy kisses in the world can't make it all better!)

a nice dose of crafty "medicine" was in order for this momma!

torn strips of fabric- ready and waiting to become shabby chic

little necklaces- using the basics from one of my favorite tutorials...

one down!

four more "doses" to go!


ahhh... feeling better already!
(and the little ones are on the mend too!)


Have a wonderful weekend!
Many Blessings!

So many...

creative ideas simply waiting to be set free...

to be shared and enjoyed...

Oh, why aren't there just a few more hours in each day??!

Hope your day is happy and bright!

Many Blessings!
