Happy Tuesday everyone! I am home from Florida and I promise to share more photos of my trip later this week after I get them loaded & edited. If you follow me on Facebook you've probably seen AND heard some stories/pics already hee hee. I have a few stories OF COURSE that will make you chuckle from my vacation. But I will say I am extremely grateful to have been able to go and visit my two besties (Pat & Dana)...especially after Pat's cancer/health struggles last year...we felt blessed to be able to spend this time together again. And we ENJOYED it, laughed hard and just had a great time together...I will treasure it always!
Although I will say it was extremely HARD to leave the sun, blooms, beach & 80 deg temps to come back to cool, gray & rain LOL! But I know Spring is on its way soon here so I will IMpatiently wait for it. But back to the real world for me today...that meant cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping and cooking. Because NOTHING gets done when I'm gone EVER, NEVER, EVER...ugh! So I had to do a lot of scrubbing today...drives me nutters that no one in my house knows what a vacuum is or a dust cloth. But I'm all caught up again and got groceries and had to pick up daughter from school for a drs appt. Tomorrow she gets her braces off so she's a very happy girl...I on the other hand GET my braces very soon...oy vey. I had braces in high school but my teeth have moved again causing me extreme migraines & jaw pain. So I am getting molds made for Invisalign, which are clear and are worn like retainers for 9 mos...then I will be done..for the 2nd time...ugh!
If you haven't popped over to my new blog
"Bitz of Me"...you are welcome to :) I will have a new post up tomorrow for you and there are a few fun posts up over there now too! As always...thanks for visiting!

Easter Eggies--A Magnolia-licious Challenge!!
Today is another fun
Magnolia-licious Challenge (we have them every 2 weeks) and this time the challenge is to create "Spring/Easter Projects". Easy peasy with the newest stamps from the
Easter Collection at Magnolia-licious! You can find all the challenge details AND see the beautiful projects done by the DT at the
Challenge Blog Here!
I used this sweet stamp
"Tilda with Egg & Chicken"...isn't she the cutest?? I created this fun lil basket using my Silhouette Cameo...where I have placed my image is actually where there is an intricate egg cut out (called "basket box easter egg in Silhouette image store). I love using the Cameo, so easy and quick and so many fun things to make. I cut the basket out with 2 sided/colored cardstock and then decorated with these fabulous new papers from Teresa Collins. The scrollies were done with a Memory Box die and then I added some layered flowers...the lil sparkly eggs in the flowers are from Michaels (they come in sprays and I just cut off what I needed).
This cutie was colored with Copics: E37,E50,E31 / B02,B00,B000 / RV34,RV32,RV000 / Y15,Y11,Y00. I added some Stickles to her sleeves and a few of the eggs. Perfect image for Spring/Easter!
Beautiful basket Suzanne. Love the soft spring colours. Tilda is gorgeous - of course :o)
ReplyDeleteGlad to had a wonderful time in Florida with your friends.
