Celebrate October 31, 2011November 18, 2013 by Merrilee

Hope you all had a most wonderful Halloween full of spooks, spirits and seriously good loot. We certainly did and let me tell you, we are plum tuckered out. The boys had very specific ideas for what they wanted to be this year and to my initial chagrin, they did not go together. I wasn’t …

We’ve been having a lot of spooky fun over here – attending gigantic pumpkin contests, going on school field trips to Pumpkin Land and most recently making these very fun paper mache Halloween puppets.

A Recap of Easter Sunday

Celebrate May 4, 2011April 18, 2014 by Merrilee

As I didn’t have time to make little suits for my little gents, I had to come up with something much more simple. Freehand fabric painted bunnies on t-shirts was just the ticket. Dress them up with some suspenders, a cardigan and new shoes, and an Easter hunt ensemble you have. (They wore their Sunday …

Celebrate Create January 30, 2011February 15, 2014 by Merrilee

Can I just say that any holiday that uses an overwhelming amount of saturated reds and pinks in it’s celebration is OK by me? As I was going through my Valentine inspiration files this year I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the powerful, strong colors popping off the pages. I was inspired…and the artist …

Celebrate October 26, 2010January 21, 2018 by Merrilee

OK ladies, like we need another excuse to go shoe shopping. But it certainly doesn’t hurt if we know we will be reusing our shopping bag afterwards, right!?

Yes it’s late in the day but I hope you all had (and still are having) a wonderful Easter Sunday. Aside from the cat scratching strep throat I’ve got going on I think things worked out pretty well for us this year (I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to make it off the couch). …
