Friday-{Have you smiled today?} :)

It's not quite spring weather here, but I'll take it.
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and there's a cool breeze in the air.
It's a new day, and I'm extremely thankful for it.
Today I smile because, I am thankful for life, and the
life God has given me.


Art/craft time with my daughter always makes me smile :)
 

 
 
{A nice cup of coffee, while writing in
my daughter's journal always seems to bring a smile to my face}
 
 
{Finding an old book, and starting over with it, this makes me happy}
 
 
{I can't wait to cook a delicious meal, with my herbs}
-They have grown so much. I can't wait to start my garden.
 
 
{I love collecting wine corks.
They make a beautiful center piece in a vase or bowl}
 
 
{Hello Geese}
I'm sure they can't wait to see some
real Spring weather.

 
“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.”
―Audrey Hepburn

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint.

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone!
