I was sleeping by the wasteside of tmw

How was your Easter? Mine was nice. The kids dyed eggs and had a messy wonderful time.





I may have made one too. *wink*

The kids woke up to a treat from the Easter bunny. We had "dinner" and hid the eggs. I of course was to busy helping the kids find the eggs that I completely forgot about my camera! Grrrr! No hunting pictures here. Bad bad mommy.

I am currently working on my next Mojo page. I really love this challenge...wait don't I say that about all of them? Ah well I do love the challenges. Anyway it goes up the 20TH so I know you will want to play along.

You remember in my last post I said I wanted to do something pretty and vintage and throw in some sewing...Well I kind of did that. I found this pattern on spool. I loved the mobile they made and I had to give it a try. Here is what I made.





I used some vintage fabric I got from my beautiful friend Kerry Lynn. I almost feel bad poking pins into its tail but I do love how she turned out. I have made more birds for different reasons which you will see soon.

The page I couldn't find a title for is now the page I found a tittle for. Thank you OLW. It went perfect with the picture. Some might say "why would u scrap that pic it is messed up" but I just loved the way it looked and then I found that quote that just went so well with the water stains.



My daughter Raven. Something I wanted to tell her. No man is worth her tears. Right now she need not worry about men though lol!

Before I forget my sass pin and magnets were featured on the blog! I was beginning to think they didn't like me over there lol! It's all good.

I have watched many many movies. I really need to try to keep track of them all. Here are some I remember.

Doubt- Not bad.
Splinter- pretty good.
The Grey Man- Strange but worth the watch.
The Ten- Lame.

That's all I can remember. Any lost fans out there? ooh wee, I am loving this season. Of course I am just as confused as ever lol!

I was inspired by the protest that has been going on here (they are having tea parties). No higher taxes. I decided to plan a tea party for my daughters and I for sat. Expect lovely pics from that. They are thrilled, as am I.

I am going to rip out my carpet soon and maybe paint my walls in the living room. This old house needs some beautiful things. a makeover of sorts.
I'll be taking pics so you can tell me what u think.

One more thing. Hubby and my anniversary (been together for 16 years on Sunday) is coming up and he has something planned.Shhh it's a secret... I can't wait.

NSD is coming up what do u have planned? I will be over at pmp. If you're that way I would love to see ya.
