It's Coming...

The clocks have been changed and the temperatures are creeping up. Spring is coming!

Happy early St. Patrick's Day!

We made our Leprechaun trap and are hoping to catch one-or at least find a little gold :)

Luck of the Irish

Although my husband is Irish, I have to admit that I don't have any St. Patty's Day decor.

St. Patty's Burlap Pillow found here

But since it does fall during our Spring Break, I will be trying a few of these cute ideas this week. Do we really need a better excuse to make cupcakes?!

Party Circles found here

I made a similar wreath at Christmas, so with a bit of ribbon and a shamrock or two- I could have this...

Do you know where your Christmas decorations are?

Some of my Christmas decorations have made their way into my 'normal decor'.

Remember the burlap wreath?

Now it is a permanent fixture in the playroom.

The grapevine cone?

It made it's way to the top of the bookcase- to add some height and "brown" to the shelf.

How about my coffee filter wreath?

I am proud to report it is living happily in the nursery.

So how about you? Are you items tucked neatly away in your attic-- or did you find a way to use your Christmas crafts all year long?

Seeing Pink

Remember when Pantone announced that honeysuckle is "the color" for 2011?

Then House Beautiful did an entire spread on using pink in your home. Gorgeous pictures and ideas...

On our recent Disney trip, my friend Jennifer brought this magazine along with her. We had fun reading it together while waiting for our flight. Nothing better than 'ooohing and aaahhing' over a magazine with a good girl friend!
