Hippity Hoppity!

Guess what!!! 

Easter is coming....SOON!!! So I am going to search for a few

tips, hints, tricks and fun things to do for the holiday!

I LOVE Easter. It means that spring is here and

we can start decorating in yummy bright colors.

Soooo...to start us off, let's head on over to 

Oops! for instructions on how to boil the perfect egg!

I know that I never quite know how long to boil for or do I put the eggs in hot or cold water and heat it up. So this will be on my laptop on the counter while I'm boiling eggs to dye this year! 

Thanks Melanie from Oops for telling us how to do this!

 If you have a tip or trick or anything that you would like to share for Easter please don't hesitate to email me! I'd love to hear it!!

Hoppy Easter!

Happy Making!

Okay....UCreate has a super fun thing every month that you should participate in too! It's Create With Me! She announces what the project is at the beginning of the month and you have the month to work on it and submit your photo and we all get featured on the blog! So fun! So February was an apron...this is what i submitted!

Cute Ehh???

I had a TON of fun shopping for the fabric and to tell you the truth....I didn't

dare start on it cause I kinda spent alot on the fabric and didn't wanna screw it up. Like I've said before, I

Am for SURE not a pro seamstress! But I had fun and am actually pretty proud of this one. Yay! it's done.

Now I get to be cute while I cook!

Hee hee!

Happy Making!

My wall....what I've done with some of my platters

Okay, this has been done for a while and I'm just now getting to posting it.But hey....better late than never, right?

Okay so this is what I have done with a wall in my front room. This is the first thing I have done with this room. I don't feel much motivation cause we don't have furniture in there yet...but I think it is looking pretty cute now....furniture or not!

You like my temporary furniture in the corner for the time being??

I can't stand having nothing in there. LOL

So this whole wall minus the photos and "family" sticker is all

THRIFT!!!

All those platters and the frames are all from the DI!

Told ya I love me some platters! haha

And that's not even the half of them!

Okay...so here is what I did with the frames:

This is what they looked like before I got to them....not bad...but not ME!

They are all 11x14

This is after paint and distressing.

And this is what they look like close up after I stained them.

I forgot to do an after before all the pics were in them.

But aren't they cute?? Much more ME!

And so much cheaper than buying from the store.

for all 3 I spent $4.50...that's $1.50 per frame!

YEEEEHAWW!!!

So there you have it....what I have been wanting to do with

my platter obsession!

Happy Making!

I'm linking this up to:

I'm lame...I know!

Alright....let's finish up this little Love Day thing! I've been super lazy in posting a love for each day...I'm sorry...so on today,

February 14th....I will finish it all up!

Okay...I believe we left off on Day five...so here is #6:

Gifts!

Okay, that sounds super snotty....but let me explain.

I love to give gifts! I love the feeling that i got someone

something that they will love. I also love it because

I like letting someone know that I love them and was

thinking about them. Make them feel special.

Also....let's all be honest...I think we all like being on the recieving end too...am I right or am I right?

.

.

Okie...#7:

Ha ha....do I have you confused???

Well good! I googled this one and loved this picture. Love #7 is

thrift shopping! haha This lady is shopping at a little place known

as Deseret Industries. It's a Utah thing. But this is SOOOO gonna be me when I'm an old lady! Love it!

You go Grandma!

BTW....Is it just me or does that DI seem SUPER tidy??? Where on Earth is that one?!?!?!?

.

.

.

Onward to #8:

I Heart Babies Breath....okay...not really the kind that is pictured above...although beautiful...I am talking about the kind that comes out of actual babies mouths! I love it! I am crazy, I know...but I could stick my nose in front of my kids mouths till they are about 18 months old, then it starts to get stinky...but man on man...

they should make a candle of that stuff! mmmm...! HA I'm nuts...please keep reading!

.

.

#9:

I love me some fabric! I am bad! If I go to walmart I have to look in the fabric section....if I see a cute fabric on the $1.50/yd pile then I get it! Even if i don't have a project for it! LOL It's a sickness. but hey, $1.50/yd....that's pretty dang good!

Two fabric stores that are a MUST....one located in Ogden is called

My Heritage Fabrics. Love this store...like L.O.V.E this store! A little more pricey, but so totally worth it to find a super yummy fabric.

Store #2 is in Bountiful. It's called Quilters Haven.

The name couldn't be a truer statement!

I could live there. To DIE for fabric everywhere you look. Fabric that you would NEVER find anywhere else! Again....a little more on the pricey side...but if you have a special project to do and want that special, FABULOUS fabric....these two stores are the places to look! PROMISE!

.

.

#10:

Another sickness I am owning up to is my scrapbook paper obsession. I don't really scrapbook, but I freaking love cute paper! I make other things with it. I like making cards or cute invites and stuff like that.

.

.

.

On to #11

Who doesn't love some good trash TV???

I know I do! And I gotta say that right now I'm kinda addicted to

The Batchelor!

What the H-E-Double hockey sticks is up with Brad keeping that LAME, ANNOYING Michelle around??? Way to represent Utah ya big friggen jerk! LOL Okay....that was my trash tv talk for the week! I am bad....I SCREAM at the screen when I watch it. It's like I'm a guy watching football!

Seriously..it's bad!

.

.

.

Okay....who wants #12?? I DO!

I love me some warmth, palm trees and beaches!

My dream is to go to Hawaii. I haven't ever been...but it sure seems like my kind of place! I even get giddy when we start seeing palm trees in St. George on our way to Vegas! LOL

Just seems like a whole new world! Love it!

.

.

.

Coming up is #13:

I am a HUGE Halloween lover! I love cute Halloween Decor and the idea that you get to play dress up as an adult and not look like a total fool! haha Being someone else for a day sure feels nice sometimes.

L.O.V.E Halloween!

.

.

.

And last but not least....#14!

We like to Party! We like, We like to Party!

Yes i do! I love any reason to throw a little or big bash!

Love it! Love to decorate for it. Love to make yummy food for it. Love to have people over for it! Just love it.

Parties are definately my thang!

Hence why I love Kara's Pary Ideas so much! If it were an actual place that I could go....it would be just like, if not better, than Disneyland for me!

Love Love Love!

Alright....so there you have it...a little info on me, Ali!

Hope I haven't scared you away with some of my strange quirks....everyone has them, right???

thanks for reading and

Happy Making!
