The words that come to mind when I think about Spring…

As always my burlap signs are for sale up there in the menu bar under Burlap Beauties or there’s a link on my sidebar too.

Now I just need to finish my mantel…

So how are you getting ready for Spring?  This is an easy-link party… no button or link-back is needed (but of course I’d love for you to do so). 

The only rule… it MUST BE Spring related!  Share your Spring décor, crafts, recipes, traditions… anything Spring related.

I can’t wait to see what you’re up to… Inspire Us!

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.”

Psalm 143:8

I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend in store.

This week our family has been on vacation as the kiddos had a week off of school… wahoo!  We’ve had a great time playing, exploring and relaxing together.   Today is our final full day (SAY IT AIN’T SO), so I thought I’d share a few of the highlights.

You still have till 7pm tonight to enter your paint project into this week’s Power of Paint Party.

And don’t forget that it’s Mega Swagbucks Friday… so get your search on today.

Have a wonderful weekend & I’ll see you Sunday as we kick-off the Countdown to Spring Party!

So starting this Sunday, February 26th I’m having another Countdown Party.  This Sunday and every Sunday till Spring starts I will have a new Spring related goodie to share.

And I want to see how you are getting ready for Spring.  Come link up your Spring décor, favorite Spring/Easter recipes, any traditions you have as a family, a Spring break craft for the kiddos… anything Spring related.

So get your Spring blog posts ready and I hope to see you back here this Sunday, February 26th @ 5pm (PST).

She really wants a loft bed or a bunk bed… so here are some cool ones we’ve found.

This bunk bed design is amazing!

This one is my daughter’s favorite.

Beautiful detail.

The colors she’s wanting.

Another fun bunk bed design.

Love the starfish detail.

So are you lovin’ bunk beds and / or loft beds?  Do you kiddos have one?

I’m desperately trying to finish up the final projects to complete the family room.  So last week when we were having some lovely warm weather I broke out the spray paint.

I bought this chair at a garage sale for $1 about 4 years ago when we moved out here.  It has lived in almost every room of our home at some time.

A couple weekends ago we made some major changes to our Ikea Bookshelves Entertainment Center (that I hope to share next week), so I figured this chair deserved a paint job and pop of color in our family room would be great.

Apple Green is such a happy color!

So what have you been painting?

Power of Paint Party Rules:

#1… This is a PAINT party… so pretty please, link-up only paint related projects.  I HATE deleting!

#2… Please put my nifty POPP button (you can find it up in my menu bar’s BUTTONS) in your blog post or a link back to this party somewhere on your blog… that way others from your blog can check out all the paint projects too.

#3… Share the Love… visit the other paint pals.

A few years ago my parents scored some damaged bamboo shades on clearance for $4.  They gave them to me knowing I’d figure out something to do with them eventually.  Well inspiration finally hit. 

The Hubster helped to cut most of the bamboo pieces… I still have a sore forearm muscle from holding the bamboo in place (and I only cut like a 1/4 of them). 

This project does take some time… between the cutting and the hot gluing…

but definitely worth it for the outcome.

I scored the mirror at a garage sale for 50 cents a while back… so this mirror cost under $5, although it only cost me 50 cents!

LOVE!

Thanks for stopping by!

“the LORD delights in those who fear him,  who put their hope in his unfailing love.”

Psalm 147:11
