Easter Crafty Weekend


Happy Monday! Now that spring is here, I feel like my life has taken on more of a routine. I'm working full weeks now because it is so busy on the farm. Since it is so busy on the farm I have been following our meal plan more closely too!

This weekend was pretty jammed backed with lots of fun activities! Fun in my world now? Getting DRUNK!

Ha ha NO just kidding, fun in my world is getting together is my best girl friends. I got to do this twice this weekend!

The weekend started out Friday afternoon with a package in the mail for me! (I LOVE MAIL!) I opened it to find this:


Peanut butter oreos, a U.S delicacy that I wish Canada would adopt, and a beautiful necklace and earrings. This package was from Nicole at Life's a Beach. Isn't she the best?! I had told her one time that I loved my oreo's dipped in peanut butter. She then informed me that there was a peanut butter flavored oreo! I have been snacking on them all weekend! THANK YOU NICOLE!

Later that evening I headed to Jilly's for a craft night hosted by her and Sara! We made this little guy/girl bunny out of clay pots!! Isn't it cute? Thank you for fun craft night ladies!

Saturday morning I woke up with the urge to get some Easter crafts done! First I gave this wood lantern that my mom gave to me a coat of paint!

Before


I also took an old grape vine wreath, some homemade fabric flowers, and bible verse Matthew 28:7 to make this for my door. The cost: all left over stuff I had on hand!


It was a super fun morning and now my house is all decked out for Easter! Most of them decorations, homemade!


The only bad part....my lantern didn't last. When turning off the T.V I knocked over the glass part and it shattered. Typical occurance for this small town clutz!


Saturday afternoon I was off to the city to meet with a potential wedding planner. You might be thinking....what the heck do you need a wedding planner for in a small town? Well I don't, she is to come in the day before and the day of the wedding to look after all those little details. I wanted to hire her so that there is minimal to no stress for mine or Ryan's parents! I want everyone to enjoy the day!


Sunday morning it was so nice outside!! You hardly even needed a coat! I love looking through my closet at cloths that I haven't been able to wear because it isn't warm enough! One of my favorite items, my polka dot jacket that I got from Forever 21. I am a sucker for anything polka dot! I always felt like I would fit into the 50's well and polka dots just reminds me of that!


Sunday afternoon, after church, I headed to Sara's where she was hosting a Uppercase Living home party. This was actually the first time I had ever been to one and I love their products! There was so much nice stuff to choose from! I can't wait for my order to come in! Thank you Sara for hosting it and the YUMMY spread of munchies!!


Sunday evening I was feeling very domestic. Ryan was watching the master's on T.V so I decided to treat him to a nice "fancy" supper, made by me! I lit the candles at the table (we never sit at the table, always the island), made a huge spread of food, and even homemade dessert! It was fun to throw on my apron and do something special for a great man. O.K you can stop gagging now :-)


How was your weekend? What all did you do?


HAPPY MONDAY!
