Easter with Friends and Family

The 2 hour window that the sun decided make a showing gave us just enough time for the kids to find 300 eggs in my parents backyard garden! This is the backyard before the chaos.

We even had a little hunt for the adults... a beer bottle hunt that is.

I like to MAKE CARDS & INVITATIONS

Inspired by my own children's imaginations, I came up with a way to match their colourful ideas and my love of birthday parties. Creating personalized invitations and birthday themes, we always end up with some great memories and happy children!

I like to PAINT

I like to pick up a brush, dab it in paint and paint on anything in site from a clean canvas, an old canvas, watercolour paper, scrap wood, walls, closet doors, clothing, etc. Think I've passed the trait down to my kids.

I like to MAKE THINGS

Sometimes I find things that I love when I am out shopping and other times I have a picture in my head and that's all I'm going to settle for. Most of the time I can make it and it turns out exactly what I picture in my head. It's definitely a trait that I inherited from my parents and I think I've passed it down to my kids

I like to throw CHILDREN's PARTIES

I love birthday parties. I love to see the kids play and have fun with their friends. Our house ends up being a big mess before, during and after the event but the kids have a great time and it's all worth it.

I love Family

Found these old family pictures and it just brings back memories... most of the time my sister and I had a ball... sometimes we fought like crazy... but we did have fun. Take a peek and you will see.
