Ultimate Blog Party 2012

Come join in on the fun!!!

Sign Made From an Old Board

I found an old board about 2 years ago and refused to throw it away.  Hubs called me a hoarder.  I told him that it had potential and that I was going to make it fabulous.  I've been debating about what to do with it since then:

I didn't think to take a picture of it until after I had put the first coat of white paint on.  Isn't she beautiful?!  As I painted, Hubs again called me a hoarder and teased me.  I told him that he was going to have to admit that I was right and he was wrong when I was finished.  He just rolled his eyes.

Here she is:

Hubs took one look at it and immediately apologized.  Oh ye of little faith!

One of these days he is going to learn to just believe me!  I love how it looks hanging in my kitchen:

I think that I will "Enjoy" it for years to come!

Aprils Hutch...

I got my hutch all decked out for April! 

Here is is:

A few of the deco's are things that my cute kiddo's have made for me when they were younger.  I love pulling them out of the box each year!  We are definitely ready for Easter and the month of April around here!

April Table Centerpiece...

Along with my plate of the month and decorating my hutch for each month, I also change up my tables centerpiece.  This is Aprils:

I just love Easter decorations!

Easter Chick with Egg...

So I needed an "O" for my HOME letters for the month of April.  I drew a pretty pathetic sketch of what I was thinking and sent Hubs to cut it out and prep the wood.  I should have taken a picture of my sketch, it really was sad, but thankfully,  Hubs is amazing and was able to turn it into exactly what I had envisioned.  This is what we came up with:

And here is how he looks on top of my hutch with the HOME letters:

Perfect!  I just love him :)

Easter Egg Wreath...

I have a HUGE box full of Easter eggs.  I'm talking about hundreds of those babies.  When the kiddo's were younger, we used to do a massive hunt with my nieces and nephews.  The kids are older now and we no longer have use for hundreds of plastic eggs, so I am finding ways to repurpose them.  I was able to use over 100 of them by making this:

I picked through my box O' eggs ignoring all the pastel colored ones and grabbed only the brightly colored ones, because I wanted to use my brightly colored gift bag shred to fill in any gaps.
I still have 3/4 of a box full of stinking plastic Easter eggs!  No need to worry though, I have plenty of other ideas as to how to reuse them, it just may not get done this year :)
