Farewell (for now...)

Well, we're off to spend a few days in the sand and a few days with Mickey, Donald and Goofy.

I even managed to make myself a journal so I can record everything as it happens instead of when I get back (especially since last years' spring break memories are shoved in a drawer in my studio still waiting to be glued into a book)

I hope you all have a fantastic Easter and a fun-filled spring break (if you haven't taken it yet!)

A special thanks to Papa for coming all the way to Texas to watch the dogs (I'm so glad our snow is melted and the weather has been somewhat warm...at least "warm" to us Minnesotans!)

Trash to Treasure Tuesday #6

This trash to treasure project was something that I've been planning to do for quite awhile now. We've got these two great big throw pillows that my kids (and my dogs) like to lay on...the only problem is that the covers aren't removable so they can't be washed. And, they're getting pretty beat up as you can see by the hole in the bottom pillow. I got some great spring looking fabric and zippers at my local fabric store and in about 30 minutes I whipped up some adorable (even if I have to say so myself) removable covers.

Now everytime I walk into the family room and see them laying there I say "aren't my pillows pretty?" to whomever is listening...funny thing is I never seem to get an answer. Oh well.

Happy 40-something-ish Birthday to my Big Sis!

My sister posts "happy birthday" messages to everyone in the family on her blog so I thought I'd return the favor (minus her actual age.) Hope you had a good one Lisa!
