Easter Bunny Canvas

How cute is this moss bunny canvas!

Circling this one back around from 3 years ago because it's so cute and if you missed it, well then,  you'll want to see it!

I always try and show you projects that are quick and easy

and affordable.

This one requires a canvas and some moss from your local craft store.  I found mine at Hobby Lobby

I used an 8 x 10" canvas.  I was able to find 10 canvases

in a package at Michael's for $12.  Such a good price.

I found the bunny by googling line art bunny, 

I printed it out and cut it out.

The moss can be found in a sheet at the Dollar Tree or since

I needed quite a bit for my class I found a large 48" package

at Hobby Lobby for $10.00

Trace your bunny on the back side of the moss and cut out.

Super easy to work with and cuts out nicely.

Once all cut out take out your glue gun and glue it

directly onto the canvas.

It's that easy!!!

So cute!!!

That's it!

Now you can enjoy and find a home for this little cutie.

Happy Easter!

Easter Arrangement

Happy Good Friday!

Today I have been getting Easter ready over here.

No big family get together this year, just three of us.

But that doesn't mean we can't set our tables up!

Wanted to put together a quick and easy Easter arrangement for to you make

I love to bring the outdoors in.  I found this rhododendron in my yard, yet I have no idea what type it is.

  I love the lacy looking little buds on it, and I always share with you,

use what you have!  Look in your yard!

I added white hydrangeas, bear grass and the

rhodie type plant I found to the vase and surrounded

it with these cute glass eggs I found at Homegoods.

I'm loving the simplicity of this and how easy it was to 

put together.   

Take a walk through your yard and see what you might have

that you can use to creative a pretty arrangement in your home

Wishing you all a blessed Easter sunday!

Country Home

More country home coming your way in the colors of (gasp!)

fall!

I couldn't resist this paper and the gorgeous colors, it reminds me of fall and since all the leaves around here are falling and making me think of fall I had to do it!

Thank me later when your looking for a fall card to make

I added just a little bit of the blue behind the stamped

images to pick up the blue in the card.

Anyone else love fall as much as me?

Towels

Hello friends!

Hope you had a wonderful 4th, those of you stateside.

I have a few of these beauties available in the shop right now

They run a bit smaller than all my others tea towels (20 x 20)

which is your standard sized kitchen towel. 

I made them up for an event earlier this year and have about

10 left that are yours if you wish!

I am not going to post them to my Etsy shop since there are 

so few, so message me if you'd like to get your hands on one.

Diy Mother's Day gift

Good Morning!

How about we get started with a diy mother's day project you can do easily with the kids!

Now,  this sounds like your making your own gift doesn't it?

But the idea is for you to make these and give them to any Mom's out there! Plus,  BONUS! they are super cute and easy!

I started with three different sized ball jars.

You can a find them at craft stores, goodwill, value village 

or the grocery store. 

I posted above the paint that I purchased from Michael's,

what's great about using chalk paint is that is dries super quick and 

easy and for the kids that's a plus.

Choose any colors that you might like, I chose spring like colors.

Using a sponge brush lightly paint on two coats, one at a time leaving about 5 mins between each coat.  Once dry I used a little piece of sanding paper to lightly rub off just a little of the paint to give it a distressed look.

If you don't have any potting soil go to the Dollar tree, 

(yes! they have a bag for a dollar!)

You certainly don't need much to fill the ball jars unless you are making quite a few of them.

Fill your jars almost to the top.

Then comes the fun part.

Now,  I have chicks and hens growing right in my yard so I love to head out there and use what I have.  If you don't have succulents in the yard then head to your nearest grocery store, or gardening center.  They will have plenty to pick from.

I was able to fit 3 small succulents in one jar, so see what you can do with the size you have.

I hope you will give these a try!

And if you are a Mom out there, Happy Mother's Day to you!

Enjoy your day friends!

Magnolia Silo Marathon

This was the whole reason for our visit to the Magnolia Silos

The Magnolia Marathon which included the full 26 mile run or the half marathon at 13 miles or the 5K at 3.1 miles.

The run was started by Chip and Jojo last year in honor of Brave like Gabe Foundation a non-profit formed by cancer survior and professional runner Gabe Grunwold to help support cancer reserarch.

This is us..... just before the race began......

Cute family alert!

Chip and baby crew with Ella and Emmie Kay getting ready to fun the half marathon.  Jojo off to the side on the right.

He's such a ham!

Once we finished we had to go to Silo bakery for their delish

cupcakes!

I promise you,  they were amazing!

We tried the lemon lavendar, the toasted coconut, the original,

nuts and bolts, strawberry.   Soooo good!

All good things must come to an end...........

Thank you Waco for your hospitality!

Mini Cards

Rae Dunn inspired mini 3 x 3" cards to gift a friend.

These are so extremely easy and simplistic to make.

If you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin through Stampin Up!

then you will have this stamp set from past pumpkin's

I try and show you other ideas for you to use your Paper 

Pumpkin stamp sets so that they don't just sit and collect

dust!

Once the cards are all stamped I bundled them up

with some buffalo plaid ribbon and some greens.

How cute is this little gift to give someone?

So sweet......

Spring Decor

Sharing a little spring decor today.

We made these cute little frames last year in creative class.

The frames are from the Dollar Tree as well as the spanish moss.

The eggs are from the craft store as well as the news print scrapbook paper.  

I removed the glass from the frame and added the newsprint paper

To make the nest using the spanish moss create a  circle and using a hot glue gun glue it to the paper.  Using your finger push away the moss to create space for the eggs.  

I created the banner by writing spring has sprung in Mircosoft word and printing it out. 

The entire thing cost maybe $3.00 to make

Hope you give it a try!
