First Day of Spring!

Happy 1st day of Spring! I can not tell you how excited I am for Spring!!! I love the warm weather.

There was a great turn out tonight at the craft party. Thank you all who came and participated and for all the delicious treats.

Here are the results of the drawing:

3 colored egg: Heather G.
Egg Hunt kit: Abigail
Celebrate America: Jennifer L.


Tonight we also did something a little different. I put together a survey to get info from everyone to see what they like and didn't like about the craft nights. I asked everyone to fill one out. I know I hate surveys too, but I tried to make it fun and had a raffle drawing for that as well. The prize was a "Spring has Sprung!" vinyl decal to place on your window or on a mirror. Here are the results of that drawing. --Thank you all who filled one of these out, I really appreciate your help. If you didn't get a chance to fill one out and would still like to, I would love to hear what you have to say.

Here's what's on the list for making:

The "U", and "Y" have glitter sprinkled over the modpodge. The "K" has festive scrapbook paper over it, with sanded edges, then glitter sprinkled over the top. When set up the max. height is 9" and they span a distance of about 30". A great decoration to have in an entry way, entertainment center, or on the counter.

These are solid wood blocks that measure approx. 4.5x4.5" each. They are painted, alternately, light green and dark green. The wood letters are painted Antique White, then glued to the front of the blocks. Every piece is antiqued on the edges and then a Brown antiquing paint is applied.

These various sized wood blocks are painted green, sanded and antiqued using stain. White vinyl letters are then placed on them that reads: LUCK. They measure approx. 3.5" in width and vary in height from 6"(L) to 2"(C). They span a length of 16" when set up.
