My Creative Week In Review

I decided to compile my latest creative projects in one post since summer is so busy.  We have been working a lot on our deck and our container garden, as you saw in my last post.  I decided I wanted some sheer curtains on the deck as well to shelter us a bit from the sun.  I am in love with my deck now!


Spicing Things Up...

I have a client that has lots of spices but had a boring little plastic lazy susan to display them but she has all these fun cake plates so I decided I would jazz things up in her kitchen by combining the different cake plates to display her spices.

Her whole house has a vintage vibe so these fit so perfectly into her 1950's style house.


Also...I finally have a Facebook Page!  Come like my page and you could win something cool and creative!


Lastly...but not least...my Chalkboard Obsession.  My kids have been after me to change the chalkboard so here is the newest one!

Ahhhh...Summer is here! Our Potted Gardening.

We finally have had nice weather to get our pots filled with beautiful flowers and they have really filled out.  I thought I would share them with you.  Summer has finally hit Minnesota! YAY!  

Our garden is mostly on the deck and our front door step.  The places we see it most.  I will take pictures when the corner garden start to bloom with zinnias.  I love them because they are just so darn easy to grow and I have fresh cut flowers in so many colors all summer long.

Worth a Thousand Words

Photography is one of my passions and as I look back on my photos, it brings back memories and evokes feelings of that time.  Here are a few of them...


I had found a beautiful park up along the Mississippi in St. Cloud, Minnesota.  It was a warm fall day, and this family just happened to walk across the path at the perfect time.  In the same park, a few weeks later, a hard frost had hit. I was somewhat down this day and came across these beautiful flowers still hanging on for life, even through the hard frost.

A couple years ago I had a friend visit and we went to the Arboretum.  It was spring and the Bridal veil bushes were in full bloom.  It was raining down light, fluffy pedals and as I stood under the tree my friend captured this photo of me.  
  

We introduced Abby and Nic to the Renaissance Festival this past summer and when she ran into one of the fairies, I thought she was going to jump out of her skin!  Lyric, the fairy, had Abby make a wish as she blew fairy dust over her.  Below...Duluth at sunrise.  We were on our way to a snowboard competition and my GPS was taking us all over.  So I headed toward the lake so I could get my bearings and the sunrise was right there in front of us!  Stunning!

I took the kids down to my parents house in Arkansas and brought Meg's best friend, Jacob with.  Here are the two of them acting so hip!
And Roxy...aka Maddie...right after we had gotten her.  She was obsessed with playing ball.

The most American trip ever is to Mount Rushmore, and if you haven't made that trip, it is a MUST!  To get the feeling of the push west for land years ago, this is a great area.  So much to see and experience.  This, unfortunately wasn't what we had expected. This gigantic storm pushed through our camp site and tore down my Sister-in-Laws tent and pushed ours over slightly.  The sight of this storm was spectacular though!

Wishing for Spring...


Day three after surgery and I'm bored and wishing for Spring!  Here are a few of my favorite things about spring and summer.  I long to feel the warm breeze blowing through my hair and having to use my cowboy hat to keep the sun off my freckled face.


With four kiddos, our summers are busy as can be!  LaCrosse and Marching Band consume a lot of our time.  Scott and I love spending quiet mornings on the river, fishing.  I get pretty excited about catching anything...This whole fishing thing is a new interest for me.  Though putting the worm on or taking the fish off is not something I do yet.  









My favorite things:
                   1. Canoeing  2. Camping  3. Hiking  4. Traveling
                                       5. Fishing 6.  Anything with the people I love!
