The Sparrow Pointe Easter Hunt was a success. Even though we didn't put a lot of effort into it, we probably had even more fun. (My sister and I always had the philosophy that the amount of effort you put into an event was directly proportional and or equal to the amount of fun you WOULDN'T have.) I think that this philosophy worked for this event, too! Here's Logan and her BFF Savannah being the bunnies of the event. They are now the oldest of the kids so they have taken it upon themselves to be 'helpers' as it is no longer cool to hunt the eggs with the 'kids'. Funny...We do enjoy their help. We can pawn sooo many things off on them now that they are the 'older' ones - helping clean up, babysitting the kids, leading the kids as they find the eggs...
Here are a couple of my most recently received Swaps. One came from Finland (the matchboxes) and one from Portugal (the crocheted purse). Wow - who knew that there really are all kinds of crafters all around the world. The purse is beautifully made with a little crocheted flower and all on it. The matchboxes and crafts were decorated and filled so uniquely. Just some fun crafting that makes me happy. It's interesting to see what the mailman will bring next... I'm working on a couple of swaps now. One has an Ocean theme - I received a little crochet octopus from my partner on that one. I made a felt dolphin and a cute little jelly fish. The jelly fish was made from felt with all kinds of ribbons hanging down as his tentacles...All mixed/matched and cute! I made a couple of drawstring bags and filled them with shells, too. It really turned out cute!
I'm going to have to remember my hydrangea bush like this - in this picture. We had a crazy frost over the weekend and even though I covered them all with trash bags, they now look as if they were boiled cabbage...SAD!! This picture was taken Saturday!! Our news forecast said that it was colder yesterday (26) than it was on Christmas!! We set an ALL TIME record - not just for the day, month, year - ALL TIME!! The peonies survived and the Gerber daisies were saved by putting them in the shop, so we were able to save a few!!
Now this plant defies everything. Lane sent this plant (a much smaller version) to me at work about 5 years ago. It just won't stop growing! It LOVES this corner and seems to just want to take it over! I think that it's a begonia - the prettiest pink flowers you've ever seen. It will sit out on the porch during the summer and just keep blooming and blooming!!Well, we are all heading back to work and school tomorrow. I've been off since Saturday and so has Lane. Logan had spring break last week and today is her Easter holiday. I'm ready to get back into a groove. I'm starting to feel a little lazy! I'm looking for a reason NOT to take a nap and screw up my sleeping pattern - to work by 5am tomorrow!!
Well, happy Easter to all! I want to say happy spring, but it just doesn't seem like it when it's 40 degrees outside!!
Enjoy the cool weather - we'll be belly-aching about how hot it is soon enough!!
