Yes, its really me...

Hello Blogging Buddies....It has been 3 weeks since I last posted, which is a record for me.  I have so much on my plate that I just took some time off.  My grandma past away 1 week ago and even though I am a strong person, I do miss her terribly!  She had 95 years of a good life and I am so glad that my kids got to spend some quality time with her.  I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but I am so tired of the gloomy, depressing, cool days.  I know once the sun comes out our moods and energy will rise up!  I have spring fever like no other...love that time of year! I have been crafting alot too, getting ready to put my creations in a friend's new craft consignment corner....it opens April 15th!
I leave you with a picture of my favorite spring flower, tulips, such vibrance and color!
Have a blessed week....
Hugs~

I'm finally back!

Hello Blogging Friends~
Its been 3 weeks since I blogged and I have totally missed it.  I have been extremely busy at work and also crafting for an upcoming craft show this month.  We had some more snow and of course another snow day today, which was nice so I could keep crafting!  I am so ready for spring...I love all the colors, the fresh crisp air, and of course the warmer temps. 
My son, Tanner, turned double digits yesterday....10 years old, wow has that time gone so fast!  He got a new bike which is going to be so nice once the weather turns nice outside.  We are all looking forward to day light savings time, I love it when the evenings stay light longer!
I am leaving you 2 pictures of some crafts I got made today...I love my worded bottles, and my spring sifter...
I hope that you too are looking forward to spring weather....
Blessings~

A need some advice!!

Good Morning peeps~
I have some major spring crafting going on and need some advice on what websites
are good for spring florals....I have some inventory built up from last year but
need to restock on some for future use.  If any of you have bought from a various
place would you please share this with me....thank you so very much...
I am off to craft some more...I love this time of year!

Is it too early?

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!...We have a weekend of Tanner's basketball tournaments, so fun to watch 10 year old boys come alive on the court!
I have been contemplating on taking all my snowmen and winter decor down and putting out spring.  So that is my question for you is "Is it too early"...I need to dust and do a heavy cleaning and I thought if that is what I am going to do then I may as well bring out some "new" decor.
I love this time of year knowing that we have 1 more month of possible cold temps and maybe some snow, before the birds are chirping and we can open windows and put away the winter coats!  We have had a gorgeous week of 50's and 60's with sunshine and no wind, such a tease to us with what is to come.
I am doing a spring craft show at the end of March, so I am excited to create some spring and easter crafts.

Have a great weekend and let me know what you are decorating your home with these days...
Blessings~

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I love this day...its nice to have a day to express to the ones we love how we really feel about them!  Randy got me a bouquet of roses....red, pink and white...so pretty!  How are you celebrating this day?  I am going to work today and then going to make cupcakes later today...can't go wrong with some "sweets"...we are having such nice weather this week, 50's and 60's, what a nice change from last week!
Have a great day and tell that someone special how much you do ♥ them!
Blessings

I need some ideas!!

Hi Ladies~I am sure most of you are watching the Super Bowl...as I usually do, I have lots of ideas running through my head!  A friend of mine is opening a new craft/scrapbooking shop and she has asked numerous of us ladies that craft to go in on it with her...I am so excited, but I need some fresh new primitive ideas that are simple and cost effective. I would love to hear from any of you talented ladies with some or any ideas of crafty things that would be good to display in her shop...I am excited to get my glue gun up and running again, as I have taken a break from it since the holidays.  I am thinking of spring too, even though we have 2 months of cold and wet weather left.  I have a day off tomorrow and look forward to going through magazines and looking online for some craft ideas...I want to make the most of my day doing this....I also am getting a massage in the afternoon, can't wait for that!!!
I hope that you are having a relaxing weekend, they sure do go fast!
Blessings~
Leslie

Happy Monday

Hello Peeps~
Its been a few weeks since I posted anything.  I have been overwhelmed by my new job and then Saturday we had our 5th Annual Bull Sale.  WOW that was an exciting day, such an awesome crowd and prices were out of this world...so yes all in all I feel very blessed for all that we have.  As I left work today the snow was coming down quite hard and the winds are really picking up, so needless to say my kids and I are hoping for a snow day tomorrow.  
What are you doing these days?  Are you still crafting, sewing, painting, or cleaning after the holidays have been gone for a month now.  I can't believe that tomorrow is February 1st...January went by so quickly, and you know what that means?....one more day closer to spring!!!!
I hope whatever you are doing with your days that you take time for something you want to do for yourself, I think this is very important, even if its just 15-30 mins., but it does make a difference on your mindset to have some "ME" time.
Take care and blessings to you~
