Who doesn't love all of the beautiful spring blossoms during this time of year? I just wish we had a few more days of sunshine to enjoy them before the wind and rain blow all of those beautiful petals away. Here are a few spring blossom sightings from around my neighborhood. The last one is of my little sweetie. I have to admit it's from last year but I just had to share it.

A couple pictures of the Easter tree and my neighbors Tulip Tree(at least I think that's what it's called). Spring is here. Hurray!

Don’t you love these sweet, little, vintage, beaded baskets? I have always wanted to try and make one. I know that there are kits out there. Maybe I should give one a try. They look like so much work though.
I’ve had the small one for quite a long time, I think I bought it at an antique mall. The larger one I found at the thrift for under 3 dollars. Quite a steal. I love how my little, vintage chenille, Easter chicks look nestled in the tiny basket. I hope you're having fun getting ready for Easter.

It’s been such a long time since I last posted here. I can’t believe I haven’t posted since before Christmas. Oh, I had big plans back then. I had several posts edited and ready to go, but my hard drive had other ideas, and decided to die on me. I was completely devastated. I lost so many pictures and important info. My computer was only a year old and I never would have thought it would happen like that. I learned my lesson though. I have become a master at backing up my computer and saving and organizing my favorite photos to disks, something I never did before. All that to say, when my hard drive died it really took the wind out of my sails, and I wasn’t able to get myself in the right mindset to come to this place again. However, I am feeling the blogging itch again and here I am trying to scratch it.
I decided to participate in Fat Mum Slim’s Photo a Day in March project. I am trying to take all of the pictures with my Windows phone. I wish I had an iphone like almost everyone else, but I’m afraid my hubby doesn’t want to switch carriers so I am giving the new Windows phone a go. So far I am enjoying it. The phone itself is absolutely amazing, however the lens on the camera is a little too wide and has a little too much distortion for my taste. Well, I guess I am just going to have to wait until T-Mobile gets a clue an adds the iphone to their line-up.
You can follow my photo of the day uploads on twitter if you like.

Sweet little mushroom hunting Santa along with his “Deer” little friend. I love to look at this little grouping in my kitchen window while I do the dishes.

Day 2~ My morning coffee in my Starbucks Christmas mug. Can you see Santa eyeing my coffee in background.
I hope your Christmas preparations, shopping and decorating are enjoyable. I am off for the weekend in Seattle with my one of my sisters(we’ll miss you Jess!) and my cousins for our annual Christmas girls weekend in the City. Here’s the post from last year.
I’ll be back on Sunday night with Countdown days 3 and 4. Until then have a great weekend!

I am starting the countdown with this little Christmas craft I put together and did with the "Stars", a girl's youth group I help out with at church. The girls are 3rd to 5th graders and so much fun. Last night was craft night and this project seemed almost perfect for this age. If only the glue would dry a little more quickly. The girls were a little impatient so there ended up being quite a a few “re-glues”. I found this project on the family fun website. They always seem to have so many great kid crafts. I have used quite a few of them and loved every single one.
Lets hope I can keep up with this countdown. This is my third year trying. Lets hope the third time is the charm. I would love to actually get through all 25 days. Here’s to hoping.

I haven't been here in a while, things have been so busy since school started. Running every which way with the kids. I did find some time, while watching Jake's football games, to crochet up this adorable owl hat for new niece. She isn't here just yet, hopefully by the end of the week. I can't wait!
Here is the link to the pattern on Ravelry. So fun and so easy. I can't wait to make some more for my daughter and my other nieces.
My youngest sis is having her baby this weekend, and I am beyond excited to meet my new niece. I can't wait to take some sweet little new born pictures.
Have a happy Monday!
