Absentee blogger

I've been absent from blog land for a while because I started a new part time job! I'm working for a non profit summer festival and it takes what I love, event planning, and incorporates it into a great job.

In craftland I'm already thinking towards summer - 4th of July, camping, and I'm even thinking Christmas. I know it's only May but I know myself and I know if I don't start planning on Christmas gifts, favors, and decorations that I will lose all track of time and not do a thing. So, I think sometime in July I will start posting some Christmas items.

In the meantime, I will post in the next week or so what my husband and I designed for my friend's baseball themed baby shower. Lots of fun paper crafts!

Toodles,

Vintage Easter Lambs

I am hosting Easter luncheon this year and it will be an intimate gathering of four so I decided I want to decorate the table and dress up the place settings. Usually I have too many people to do this or run out of time, so I'm really excited I'm already done with this and I'm looking for other crafts to add to the table. This brown paper bag basket is also calling my name. :D

I visit The Graphics Fairy blog everyday to check out what new clip art is posted. This lamb was too cute to pass up and I thought I'd finally use some of my Martha Stewart glitter to embellish the collar and bell.

Here is one of the finished products ready to grace the table. If you are interested in doing something similar, check out The Graphics Fairy's Easter section and Gold Shoe Girl to see how she embellished a couple different Easter graphics.

Happy Crafting!
