My Week in Photos

My family...and me?!?

Last weekend my family and I packed up and headed to Cincinnati, OH. We tend to go there fairly often. There's tons of stuff to do. One of our favorite things is the zoo and we actually managed to make it there twice on this trip. When Zara saw the photo above, I asked her who was in it. Her reply? "Mommy, Daddy, and Zara!" Umm...yeah.... Anyway, here are some of my favorite photos of the past week. Hope you enjoy!

Peeps Cupcakes

Peep, peep, peep, etc.

Every year we go to Grandma's for Easter and we all bring something to share. I haven't decided what I'm making for Easter this year, but here's what I did last year. I thought I was being so clever making Peeps cupcakes. Yeah...someone bought nearly identical ones from the grocery store.

Life is Beautiful: A Spring Postcard

Spring is in the air and life is beautiful.

Iron Craft day!!! I really enjoyed this week's challenge. The challenge was to make a postcard. That's it. Easy-peasy and oh so fun! I went with a spring theme because the flowers are blooming in my yard and life is indeed beautiful.

Guest Post from Memories by Christine Scrapbooking: Dance Bag Non-Tutorial

Hi, all! I'm thrilled to introduce Christine from Memories by Christine Scrapbooking as my very first guest. She'll be teaching us how to make a dance bag. Welcome, Christine!

* * * * *

Hi everyone!
Thank you, Tabitha, for letting me join you today:) I'm Christine from Memories by Christine scrapbooking. I adore paper crafting, scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking...basically anything where I can archive my memories, and I love teaching others how to as well! Please visit MBC if you need a layout idea or tutorial.

Today, I'm sharing a "non-tutorial" for a sweet little dance bag I made for my daughter's tap shoes. I am a beginner seamstress (*I don't even think the word "seamstress" applies to me!:), and I made this without a pattern- but it turned out super cute, and most importantly, my 4-year-old loves it, and thinks I'm the coolest mom because of it;)

Makeover Monday: A Candlestick Table

My freebie table. I <3 it!

I have been looking for a table forever to go next to my wing chair. My requirements: small, cheap, cute, cheap, sturdy,...cheap. So when I saw a table that Erin at Richmond Thrifter did using a lamp base and a picture frame, a light bulb went on over my head. Check out her Lamp Base Turned Pedestal Table post for complete details on how to make this. I made my table using a brass candlestick that my Grandma gave me ages ago, so I did a few different steps, but the idea is the same.

Happy Birthday, Seán: A Birthday Card

Happy Birthday!!!

Tomorrow is Seán's birthday, but I thought I'd give you a sneaky peek at his card before he sees it. Shh! Don't tell!
