Me and Mom's Hats!

Aren't these the CUTEST??? (just click on the little down arrow at the bottom of the square to flip thru the pages)
Lily and I stopped by the annual Tulip Festival Street Fair this past saturday...and WOW! Were there sooo many fun things to see! I wasn't neccessarily going to go there when we left home, and just kind of decided on the way....after I had let her have fun and COMPLETELY dress herself! Teal multicolored sweatshirt over a little mermaid terrycloth skort OVER chocolate brown stretch pants...add the pink girlie fleece jacket and the big pearl necklace...absolutely no hair ponies...and we were SET! Did I know we'd be walking around hundreds of people??? and taking tons of pictures??? Nooooo! LOL
But we had so much fun...balloon animals, music, yummy food...even a hand carved name plate puzzle!
And this little booth was to die for! THE cutest hand crocheted hats! Check them out at Me & Mom's Hats....
Alrighty...better go for now!
Oh..and Thanks to Heather for introducing me to this cool new way to display pics on your blog. Leafletter. Check it out!

Wave to a Starfish...

"Mommy, LOOK! The Starfish is waving to me!"
And he certainly was! They are such beautiful creatures....
We were so lucky to be invited with a friend's preschool class to visit the local Padilla Bay Estuary for a tour and movie from the local bay star, Harry the Blue Heron! lol
Soooo fun! And I learned just as much as the kids! But you didn't catch me with MY arms stretched out in front of me like a blue heron's beak...scoping the waters for fish...and freezing motionless...indefinitely...until SNAPPING up the unlucky lil swimmer! HA...that would've been a sight to see! But I decided to just leave that fun up to the kids and the tour guide...lol

Hoping your weekend is Fabulous!
Go find some adventure of your own....it's waiting for you!

The Elements are here...

Really quick! I know I've been telling you that I had some elements to go with the L'il Easter Eggies, and Speckled Papers (see 2 previous posts)...so here they are! Layered Grass that you can put eggs where you want, eggie border, ribbon, l'il nest to put eggies in, and an 'Easter' title outlined in plastic grass...and last but not least, the Twig Border that I've been using in my previews.
My gift to you!
Enjoy!
And have a great weekend!

PS. If you're a Susan Branch fan, you've got to check out Tales From Pixie Wood's interview with her! It is soooo incredible..and not your normal magazine interview! I was sooo excited to be a part of it I can't even tell you!

Happy Springtime!

I LOVE this total accidental shot I got of Lily yesterday out enjoying the Springtime air...
Gloom and Cloudyness...Be Gone!
The totally cute corner doodles are by Nancy Comelab over a My Digital Muse. And remember, tomorrow is the last day of her Angel Lift Contest...so hurry on over and submit your LO. You never know what the prize may be, but one thing's for sure....with Nancy, it's gonna be GOOD!

OK...finally got the next installment downloaded of my Easter Surprise from yesterday. Thank You SO Much, Everyone for your sweet comments on the Colored Eggies. You ladies are so much fun to share with!
Here are the Speckled Egg Papers to go with the Colored Eggies (see yesterday.) They are very detailed with many layers of color and texture. I really like how they turned out. So, Enjoy!

There are sooo many cute Springtime kits coming out that my head is spinning! I must get some time to scrap!!! ....and yes, I still have all those Hawaii pics to go thru...

But! For now...I think...I'll go outside and enjoy some much needed, Springtime Air...

Easter SURPRISE

Download L'il Colored Eggies HERE

Well Girlies...I've been playing and decided to share with you all! I had this idea of some rich "Cadbury Mini Eggs" -looking stickers, so I experimented and experimented...and I just LOVE how they turned out! But then I made the mistake of thinking, "Oh! This would make great papers...and This would be a neat lil frame...and even a lil quickpage...and the list goes on..." So, over the next couple days I'll be downloading lil bits and pieces of this now Mini Easter Kit! (I had to learn how to even be able to share files...that's what's taken this so long...and boy! It takes a long time to download them to even be able to share...but, hey! That's what we deal with by using free sites, so I'll deal.) Hope you enjoy! Please leave me a note if you decide you like it, and would enjoy more.

Here's a couple of pics of Lily on Easter morning. I absolutely LOVE this dress! First, there was the looking for her special hand dyed marble eggs....

Then, there was the actually getting ready for Church...and looking adorable!
Just LOVE this lil face...
Hope this Easter brings you New Hope and New LIFE...that is our Blessing!
