All my bunnies hopped outside for a "photo shoot" ....

Felt like I had to create a new header for my blog...something reflecting Spring and Easter.... all the bunnies agreed.
There is a wonderful week awaiting all my lovely friends....

Bunnies on parade......
I almost forgot about my BUNNIES!
Last year on Martha Stewart's show I watched a tutorial on making these Cotton bunnies.....so, of course I had to give it a try.
I'll bet if you wanted to make some you could find how on her site....
It takes wire, cotton balls or that cotton you use when giving a perm to keep the liquid from running down your face...Do you know that stuff? Paint, glue, Styrofoam balls, and decorating items.....flowers, eggs, baskets, chicks, netting, lace, whatever suits your fancy.
It's really easy once you get it down...it's all about wrapping.
I was looking in my ~shopping closet~ (that's where I store all my decorator items) and I ran across them.....WHOA... I CAN HAVE MY OWN EASTER EGG HUNT.... I'd forgotten I had them. What dumb luck!
My favorite place to decorate is my dining room buffet...unfortunately it's right in front of the big window... please bare with me and the dark photos.
My daughter has just given me a suggestion for this years bunnies....
I think I'll HOP into my craft room and start designing these newest BUN~RABS!
Hope you enjoyed seeing the Cotton Tails~~~~~~~

Wreath Re-Do....ready for Spring!
It was time to redo the wreath for Spring!
I bought some sweet little purple and yellow Pansy's at Michael's (50% off) and three little Easter Eggs to adorn the center! Removed last months decorations and added the new purchases!
I'd say it says SPRING has arrived...even though it's pouring down buckets of rain, making it feel like winter.
Oh this weather! As long as I don't have to go out in it, I'm a happy girl.
My door is always open, welcoming you all to come in and visit~
Have a wonderful day doing whatever you are doing!
See ya later....xoso Sandy O

Easter Spring Tree.....Come look!
I know you wanna see how cute my Easter Spring Tree turned out... I'm sooo happy with the end result...doesn't it just "shout" *Spring is here*? Come have a look see!
Amy , her daughter Haley and I decided we wanted to create trees.....so, for the last couple days this has been our main focus.
We've decorated eggs, made cards and boxes with pictures from Karen's site at GraphicFairys (she is so generous), added dead hydrangea's sprinkled with lots of glitter, birds, birds and more birds with their little nests and lace crowns, plaster of Paris to secure the branch/tree sprayed white in the pot, old book pages cut with Martha Stewart scissors stuffed in the pot to give the look of grass, vintage postcards, must have some bling...out came the crystals. As if the glitter wasn't enough!
Oh, I must not forget the little itty bitty lights that work off batteries strung up the tree and around the branches, secured with wire.
It just glows at night, but so hard to capture the look in a picture.
I hope you'll get all a "twitter" and want to create one of these little birdy trees for your house. It's such a fun project and easy!
It's proudly displayed in the corner of the dining room.....
ENJOY!

Irish Picnic at the Cemetery!
I wanted to share how I spent my St. Patty's Day.
Dad's favorite holiday was St. Patrick's Day...oh my, did he love to wear his green, he would dress from head to toe in green, even his shoes!
We decided it would be fun to have a Irish Picnic at the cemetery.
Brother Ken treated us all to a lovely Irish Dinner...picnic basket and all.... Brought all the fixin's, even dessert which were yummilious Red Velvet Cupcakes. Too die for! WOW...that was some kind of pun. Oh my!!!
Not the entire family were able to make it, the few of us who did...had a wonderful time eating, visiting, wandering around looking at all the names giving Mom some well deserved exercise.
Stacey made Grandpa a very special *head board* as she likes to call it.... So creative!
I hope you had a wonderful time with your loved ones too!

UNVEILING MY DOLLS!
PUB PARTY
My doll addiction has decided to unveil itself today!
I've loved dolls my entire life, collected them over the years,
these Fashion Dolls are my latest love.
Last year I made a Creative Memories calendar, dressing each of the girls in holiday attire...
here are my ladies in GREEN!
I know it's crazy...but, oh SO fun!
I'll be sharing each holiday with the girls dressed differently (I kind of got carried away buying
clothes, shoes, hats, purses, accessories) Easter will be revealed in April!
Props were so much fun finding....they are sitting on a candle holder. Funny, huh?
I know you're wondering where they live.....
in their own cabinet!
Thought you'd enjoy a little girl fun.
Thanks for PLAYING with me!
