It's Easter Time!

As promised, I'm posting the Easter banner and eggs I covered for some of my Easter decor this year. I decided to stick with monochromatic tones that went well with the house because the colors are so warm.....goodness knows we need it since it's only 46 degrees and snowed in some parts of our area this morning!


For the banner I used a Sizzix Pennant Die from Stampin' Up!, stamped the letters and hand cut them out before attaching them to the pennants. It was a little tedious and time consuming but I like how it turned out. As for the eggs, I just tore designer paper into strips and mod-podged them to some plastic eggs. So the total cost for both projects was $0! I love those kinds of projects!


And instead of feeling sorry for myself because I don't have a beautiful mantle to decorate for holidays and seasons, I decided I could use our table under the big mirror in place of one. Hey, a girls got to use what she has right?

Thanks for stopping by!

Dear Lillie

A Couple of Friends....

Good morning blog friends!

I'm still trying to get over this little bug I've caught and thought I'd share a couple of my favorite places today....

Erin from Where Beauty Meets Function was my first guest blogger and will always hold a special place because of it! Our decorating styles are so similar I could move right into her house and would feel instantly at home. She's funny, creative and real. I love real people! And as an added bonus, she knocked my socks off when she revealed her super cute Halloween Living Room a few weeks ago....

Head over to Where Beauty Meets Function today...I promise you won't be disappointed!

My second favorite place is Keep'n The Sunny Side. Amy is kind and will instantly make you feel like you've known her forever. We both have a love for all things Amish and share a passion for homemaking. She's also a real person who is wildly talented and is generous enough to show you how she makes all kinds of super cute stuff! I mean c'mon! How can you resist something that looks like this?

Please! I can't! As with Erin, run on over to Amy's and check it out. You are bound to come away with more inspiration than you'll know what to do with!




PS - I've decided I can't wait any longer to do my giveaway so be sure to come back Friday to see what you have the chance to win!
