A million things to blog about


Today is my amazingly hot, especially for a 29 year old husbands birthday. Happy Birthday Mitch!

I am throwing a Scentsy Party on Tuesday April 14 from 1-3 in the afternoon. I know it is a weird time but this month is crazy and it is the only time that worked. I have all of the new summer scents for you to smell and it is a great time to start thinking about mothers day gifts. So bring your kids and let them tear apart my house instead of yours while you smell all the awesome new scents (including Twilight). Come even if you don't want to buy just to visit and I will see what I can do about a little treat as well. If you can't come but want something give me a call or leave me a comment.

I told you that I have been working on a few projects that I would post about as soon as I finished them. Well, I finally finished this quilt yesterday and am totally in love with it. No, this is not an indication of what we are having, my grandma just gave my mom a whole bunch of material and this is one of the quilts that became of it. The only thing that I had to buy for this quilt was the batting and thread. My mom and I learned how to quilt it on her sewing machine as well which was so easy and fun. This was such an easy quilt to make and so much fun. I found the pattern off of this site. http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/Check it out. She is amazing.
I know this is a silly picture of my kids but it is more to show the paint job I did in Kenlee's room. I think that it turned out really good. Her room is still a work in progress that is why I didn't take a picture of the rest of it. As soon as it is all put together I will take some more pictures. After painting this room I decided I didn't hate painting so bad and have many more paint job ideas floating through my head. Just don't tell Mitch, he won't be really excited.I love Easter. My sister-in-law and I had a little Easter Egg Hunt at my mom's house yesterday and it was so much fun. We had to do it inside since it was raining but the kids loved it. It was so cute to watch them and they certainly didn't waste any time breaking them open and eating the candy. I am so excited that spring is here. I have a few tulips popping their heads up along with all the vibrantly green weeds in my flower beds. I know, I know I have such a green thumb. Yea, for spring and the renewal of life it brings.

Love the quilt. Wish I knew how to finish projects. I would like to start a new one, but my lovely husband has banned me from cluttering the house with new projects until I finish my current ones. Like the quilt I am in the process of finishing for Jadee. From Christmas. Of 07'
