It's Here It's Here! Well.....

I haven't been outside yet so I'm not totally positive but I'm hoping it will be warm today 70 I'm so excited.  Spring is finally coming around!  Nothing to exciting, yesterday was really weird I couldn't get motivated.  Maybe that's what Tuesday does to you?  Em had 2 hours of homework I felt so bad for her.  Even Lauren was shocked.   So far I've cut some for my class today and made lunches and smoothies.  Em was not impressed with my smoothie attempt she stared wide eyed as I added the items fruit, greek yogurt, juice and some ice.  Then she just shook her head when I offered.  My picky one on the other hand drank hers up and asked if she could have her sisters.  Go figure.  I swear Abs would be a bunny if I let her!  Last night at dinner I made spinach lasagna she made a deal with me if she ate 7 carrots would I let her be excused.  So all she ended up eating was lettuce tomatoes and carrots.  Oh well at least it's not candy!

Anyway tomorrow is the first day of April and our April Hero Arts Class at Craft Fancy.  I'm really into Lavender right now!  Above are a couple of samples from the class.   I think there a couple of openings left!    Got to go finish preparing for todays class!  Have a Great Day!

It's getting warmer!


It's been sunny for two days and yesterday things felt fresh!  I can't wait as this week starts it's warm up. 

Last nights Quick & Easy Birthday card class was fun.  We laughed and had a great time!  Then it was home to share a late dinner with Dave.  He was sweet he waited for me to get home at 8:30 to eat.  It was nice to eat together by ourselves after the kids were in bed.  Well it was nice until it was time to go to bed and we realized we had eaten so late!  Ughhhh I was full!

So today I'm working on the stuff for Abbi's party on Friday I'm so excited it will be so cute or at least in my head so far it is.  I hope the girls love the little art projects they are going to make!  I'll share here when I get the project samples finished!

Tomorrow I'm teaching Discovering Die Cuts  at Craft Fancy it's the last time we will make these particular projects.  If you can't make it you can always request a kit!  Next month brings an entirely new batch of projects.  3 of the 5 cards we make in the class are above!  Very Springy!  Makes me happy!

Classes All Week

It's been crazy busy.  Last week the girls and I went to TN to visit my Mom for Spring Break it was wonderful and almost balmy there.   Everyone had a great time.  Before that I was feverishly working on samples for most of my April Classes.  The kids are trying like mad to get back into the swing of things this morning was rough!  Tomorrow will be better! 

Well today I'm teaching all day at Craft Fancy.  Quick and Easy Birthday Cards.  It'll be lots of fun!  We can all use a ton of b-day cards. 

It's Time!


For me to speak at this luncheon today.  I'm a tad bit nervous I'm not sure what I'm going to say well maybe how I'm going to say it?  EEEEK.  Hopefully I can distract them with the crafty things they will be doing and they won't notice my nervousness.  I look forward to teaching Techniques tonight in the comfort of the stores little classroom.

ISAT tests are over at school so things are much calmer and a back to normal.  No more test prep or talk.  The kids really want to run around outside.  Now if we could just get the weather to cooperate it would be wonderful!

Here is a tag set I made for a customer of the White Rabbit.  He's late he's late.  No he shipped a long time ago but he's pretty darn cute!

I'm off to work on my talk again!

It's Monday again.  I hope the sun comes out today I was getting spoiled at the end of last week with all the happy sunshine.  I can't wait to go to work today and check out all of the cool new product that was being checked in on Saturday!  OMG there was sooooooo much!

So yesterday evening we took dinner over to Monica and family.  She is finally home from the hospital.  Hopefully she'll recover quickly!  Having surgery is just no fun at all!

Here is a set of  Vintage tags I made for my ETSY Shop.  I love the touch of gold at the bottom!  Just very pretty.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

Edited to add:  These tags were featured over here on Nicole's Homemade Treats.  With a bunch of beautiful Cherry Blossom items!  Thank you so much for the honor Nicole.
