Happy SPRING all !!!!

Well it is OFFICAL... MARCH 20th ....

It is the first day of Spring....

YIPPPPPY!!!

While it has warmed up a bit. It would still be nice if it would get up to the temps that normally it should be this time of year... We are nearing April soon. I don't know about you... but I am MORE then ready for spring.

Hope you all are having a good week !

Life

Ahhhh today...

What is today ? For us kids here in the state of Mn, its another winter day. Yet a bit warmer.. more depressing..miserable snow in the forecast. I don't know about everyone else. But I am soo tired of this weather. It is a total downer for me. The warmth and the sun shine is WAY over due in my book.

I've had alot going on... alot of my mind and not feeling so hot myself and trying desperately a way to hang in there. A way to survive it all. Which in it self is not an easy task, not at least for me.

Sure.. we all have challenges.. we all have bad things happen and we all have FULL plates and many items to juggle on those plates. But there are times you find yourself..asking questions.
Hard questions, right now I have alot of those questions, these are big questions, ones that will change my life. Ones that I need to make to improve my life and quality of it. But with these questions and decision's comes its fair share of stress, uncertainty, among other things not so fun, and of course the questions.. what next, and HOW do I do it. Where do I start ? It is also something that is ALWAYS... easier SAID THEN DONE. Easy for others and myself to say do this or do that. Not so easy however for the actual task to be completed. If it is completed. There is much time and research and work then needs to be done in order to make sure the changes and decisions are sound ones for me and fits my needs.

Ahhhh today... I am blessed with sooo much, yet there are many other parts of my life that need a COMPLETE over haul.... the time is coming more quickly now then before and that is not as fun either. The time limit is shorter.

Friends and extended family... please keep me, as well as my family in your thoughts and prayers. As I do my best to figure out what is right for me and how to make it happen successfully.

Ahhhhhhh that's all from me today............

Just another day in this thing we call life...... I know God must have a better and bigger plan for me

Happy St. Patty's Day to you allll...... If you are going to be on the roads and out drinking to celebrate please be careful everyone!

I am not Irish..but I know people that are and this is a fun day for them. Soooo if you are one of those people have a blast and be on the look out for the cops... they are out..trust me I have seen a bunch already just on my way home from work.

Tonight I hope to get many things done....

My hubby is with his work buddies at the Wild Game tonight. His work has tickets so he will be enjoying some Male Bonding time I am sure ! Go WILD !!!!!!!!!

Friday night progress !

So last night I was working hard... I got one possible Easter card created... with flowers with glitter... put patterned paper, ribbon, a cute bunny and the back ground with my cuttlebug ! Also a pink jem for the eye on the bunny. It looks cutier in person. The glitter doesn't show to well on here.

Over here I made 8 Easter baskets last night....

I made 4 for some special kids I know and 4 for co-workers on my team. I always try and do something fun for the bigger holidays.

Today I hope to get some chores done as well as my Hubby and to also turn ALOT of cards out !!!

I am also please to say that Jes worked nearly all week this last week... Yippy. We are not sure that he will work this week or not..but hey..we will take what we can get.

This weekend I hope he will get some more down in the basement since this last week he was working and didn't do anything downstair because he had hurt his ankle and after a long day at work he need to stay off of it at night....!

Enjoy your weekend all !!!!!!!

I hope the ideas are flowing !!

Hi Everyone.. wow it is already Friday and my last post was Monday. I had meant soo many times this week to post. It just did not happen. I even had things to post about.

Well this weekend... my toooo do list is long..but what else is new..right! I am hoping to multi-task very well and get ALOT accomplished ! Wish me luck please. I might need it.

This cute Bunny is just ONE of my many Easter decor, he is sooo cute so I just wanted to share him with you all. Here is a big stack of paper that I hope to use to turn into some cute cards..... I am getting VERY low on a few different occasions so I need to get my stock back up.
Well like I said... I hope the idea's are flowing.. Like I said I want to make normal cards, Easter cards, and do something fun, cute and creative with these plastic eggs. I am hoping for some major inspiration will come my way and idea will pop into my head !!!

I hope that you all have a good weekend... in between my house hold chores and I am going to try and take my stress, and anxiety and so something fun and use the other side of my brain this weekend. I just HOPE nothing else pops up and takes my time away.

Hope you all have a super weekend... whatever you have planned... if I get something done I will try and post pic's to share!

later alllllllllllllll

Don't Forget to Turn those CLOCKs

Don't forget tonight to turn your clocks ahead..spring forward. So we will get an extra hour of ligght each night. Which will be nice for sure. It will not be soo nice to lose an hour of sleep however... even more so since I did not get a good night of sleep last night. I am still fighting my migraine just a bit as well. It has been a rough week with that !!!

It is going to warm up next week..Yipppppy !!!

Have a super weekend all.

Is SpRiNg ever coming ?????

Is Sprng ever coming ????
March 20th is offically the first day of spring. Yet when I look out my window sil... I sure see an awful lot of snow yet and them temps don't seem to be warming up much either !!

Don't forget this weekend is also DAY LIGHTS SAVING time... we turn out clocks a head... so that will be nice... it will stay a bit more light out at nice. Although I have to admit I have been noticing already it has been not so dark as early as the winter. That indeed is nice.

Well.... what are you 5 favorite things about spring ???

Here are mine in no special order ;

1. Watching, waiting and seeing all my flowers bub and bloom and see how big they will get.
2. Buying and panting new items for my yard.
3. The fresh, warm clean air and the warm sun on my face.
4. The children running and playing outside with the excitement of the coming summer.
5. Attending the farmers market again to get fresh, non toxic fruits and veggie that taste sooo good !

What are you favorite things about Spring ?
What things or items do you enjoy ?
What things are you ready to say good bye to for winter ?

Hope the week is going well for you all !

ProGreSs !! Yippy.......

Our Basement Bedroom....

Here is what our bedroom looked like after tap,mud, and the ceiling was done and painted. I then started to paint the rest....

The room is a light brown color and a teal color... I love it. I saw it in a painting book. I liked it and wanted to do the same. The white circles you see are white 4in can lights.
I wanted to take a pic of the paint job..only to find out my hubby did some touch ups and put some more mud on the wall. Where the paint comes to a stop we will have white chair rail that will cover that.

It is going to start to be a room. We still have trim and doors to get and such....and a wood ledge on the wall with the window as well. But it is finally becoming more then just studs !! yippppppy... I can't wait to do more.

We have been working hard and it is nice to see it starting to at least look like something... this was our weekend...how was yours ?
