The Ruffled Tablecloth...

My new Easter tablecloth.  I'm kind of excited about it.  You'll laugh at how easy it was to make!

A Corner of My Home...

Lemon Loveliness...

I had some left over lemons and lemon tea cakes from our beach day yesterday, so I added them to a little table in my front room for some yellow delightfulness...

Orange Mary Janes for Scarlet

Can't wait to see these with all her fall clothes and those new brown leg warmers!  Delish!  They are from my fav shoe store Little Monkey Toes.

Had my waterski trip photos printed

I had (and always do have) them printed at Ritz Camera.  I love the quality there and I love that I can send them my images and they are printed and ready to pick up within an hour.  LOVE that.  Because I am doing a mini book (or 2) I had them printed in a 4x6 size and then wallet size.  Can't wait to see them!

Skull & Crossbones Layout

When I gave myself this assignment, I fully thought it would be a boys layout, but when I found these pics of Scarlet I immediately thought of that title and it had to be.

Art Center Was Hung

So, I've never had a great place to show off the kids' work and art and it has always bugged me.  The side of the fridge just wasn't cutting it and with Scarlet going to Kindergarten this year, I knew things had to change.  So, I took window box and a quilt off of the tiny wall leading from my familyroom into my kitchen and made that the official GREDING ART CENTER. 

Okay, so it's a fancy bulletin board, but I LOVE it!  I then went to Michael's and bought the cheap paper mache letters and painted them black and it cost me $6, but added the touch I wanted to make it look more sophisticated.  WAY cheaper than Pottery Barn letters and they look exactly the same!

I just can't wait to see this board covered with seasonal art and papers and projects!  SO fun! 

Plus, my kids never see my scrapbook pages, so I thought I would put a new page up everytime I complete one.  Or else throw a seasonal one up like school ones in September or Christmas ones in December.  A fun trip down memory lane!

I'm excited!

The Insomniac "Gardener"...

What does an insomniac do at 2:30am?  Why garden, of course. 

Okay, so gardening is not my usual late night ritual, but I had an idea and I swear, I couldn't go to bed until I'd done it.  So here was my idea...

A cake stand
