Very Special Little People

Taking a photo break today with some "portraits" of 2 special little people in my life...

You know how hard it is to get a 4 year old to sit still, smile, and not mess his hair up again?!!


Is this the sweetest face ever????? He's 5 and already loves his picture taken!

Linking up at Tracy's Trinkets & Treasures  for a Portrait Party!

I have been wanting to springify my front porch and found these pics I think all have elements I can copy






and this is my backyard.....I wish


cute plant stand



You realize it seems great now but in a couple months front porches with their nice chairs and benches will only be occupied by lizards...

Easy Spring Cuteness

I think 86 degrees = SPRING don't you?  I always feel so much better when the weather warms up so I've been out pruning all the frost damage from the plants and getting things pretty again. 

                  I saw this so cute idea in the PB catalog for spring branches....

                              and these adorable eggs......

        
  I was also inspired by these adorable and do-able eggs and branches by tizzilish.....** So I gathered some of the branches I had just cut and sprayed them white.  Then while watching American Idol I took my hydrangeas and pulled off the flowers and hot glued them on the branches where it looked like a bud would be.  Some of the flowers I glued shut like a bud then glued on the branch.   Since my white pitcher is small I didn't use as many branches..........they are just right I think! 

                                                        
On the front porch....ooh need to clip those stragglers!


                         Looks kinda real huh?!

The eggs are my version of PB's - I found them at Michaels already in soft colors and speckled...all I did was find rub on transfer letters and it took 3 minutes, really!

                                    
                                     
                         Very cute and so quick and easy!
                                    Thanks for stopping by!
