Busy with the Cricky

Spring is popping out in my yard

Yesterday was a grey and rainy day here in Aiken but even the dark sky could not suppress the beauty that is beginning to emerge in my back yard. Our Tulip Magnolia tree is covered with amazingly beautiful bloom and is focal point of our yard.

This little tree was planted two and a half years ago. In that time it has doubled in size and has become a true spring time gem. In the summer the tree is covered with lush green leaves, and will someday be a wonderful shade tree. But the spring is is truly a wonder. I love the bold pink blooms.

I think my camera did a great job on the close ups. Did you notice the rain drops on the petals?

I will be back with photos soon with a few photos of my redecorating efforts. Don't you love Spring changes???

She said yes - - Everyday Cricut Project

Happy Saturday everyone. Sorry to have been MIA all week - I was dismantling my Christmas decor and working on some other projects.

To make up to you for being gone all week I am the Saturday designer at Everyday Cricut. Okay. Really. It is just my normal Saturday at the Everyday Cricut blog but I AM sharing!

This week's project is called, "She said yes"! My older son proposed to his girlfriend during the Christmas holidays and Crissie said yes to marrying Aaron! As you might have guessed, my husband and I are thrilled. This layout is one that I will actually use in their scrapbook, but the photos were quickie computer printouts. The real photos are still being printed.

For all of the details on creating this layout, including cartridges, please head over to Everyday Cricut. There are also additional photos on the EC blog.

I will be back on Monday morning with a fun Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge project. Have a wonderful long weekend!

After Christmas Travels

Have you been missing my blog posts? We are traveling visiting the Grandmas, stretching our Christmas a bit longer. We spend a few days in the mountains of NC, where 12 inches of snow greeted us! It was quite lovely. The photo above and the others like it were taken on the mile drive up to my mom's house.

Currently we are in Chattanooga, TN, dining at Panera Bread, simply because of their Wi-Fi. I am posting photos because obviously there are no crafts.
