Field trip to Arboretum

 

The weather this year made it so most the tulips weren't out yet, but they will be SOON! It was beautiful just the same!

 

Painting (canvas) Party

 Cake I made. Love those little sixlets that are cute colors. They added just the right touch.

Some more initial canvases. They turned out so cute. But this font didn't do nearly as well as the thicker block letters. I had to repaint over all of these ones once we pulled the vinyl off. But they still turned out super cute!

Tweaked Spring craft

I added another layer on top.

Spring craft/ Peach apple cobbler

This is yellow cake mix, make it like directions say, sprinkle some cinnamon in too. Add a can of peach pie filling and apple pie filling. Put in dutch oven, cook until firm, but not dark. Serve with ice cream or whatever you want. So YUMMY!

This was my version of this: http://www.thehouseofsmiths.com/2010/02/hanging-roses-i-was-browsing-blogs.html

The lighting is off a bit but you get the idea.

Fun Birthday Party

 Pin the eye on Lalaloopsy was one of the games we played.

 Some cute paper flowers my friend made.

 Vinyl letters on canvas, the first initial of each girl.

It was a fun party and I love their paintings!  Just pulled the letters off when they were dry.

Best Cookies Ever (in my opinion)
