Spring Fever!

The weather was beautiful and it was 80 degrees so this, by law, means I have to get outside and mess around in dirt. I am going to post a few of the projects we have going right now. Anything I do is never finished. I always end up tweeking and tweeking. But so far..this had happened in the last 2 days:) Enjoy. I had a blast!

St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

A few little flowers to brighten the front steps

A coupla cans of spray paint and some cute boats I found at the thrift store.

Valspar makes paint for plastic, no primer! LOVE!

Ketchup cans I have been saving. I am thinking after I have a lot, I will hang them  from fence.

My favorite "spot" in the house.

Jon fenced in the back yard and the babies love it. Take a look at that HUGE Camellia!

Pies in a jar? You can freeze them and have one when ever you want!

Such a cute idea. go here and see the cuteness.

16 Candles Valentine Treats

Our local AMC was showing 16 Candles on Sunday. My best friend Celine, Tracy, and Pat McDonnell  (who had NEVER seen it before!!!!!) Don, Winston and Cora decided we would take this opportunity to see it on the BIG SCREEN! Again. Paying 2011 prices for a movie made in 1984. We are brilliant.

I was fooling around on avery.com looking at templates for gift tags to print on business cards and came across this movie ticket template. This got my mind going. It was 8am and quiet and 2 cups of coffee:) I downloaded for free, the pattern ,then adjusted accordingly. I just looked up movie quotes from 16 candles and went from there. Next, I knew that REDBOX was giving away free codes for Valentine's Day. I looked up the code and voila! Then, I decided there was no way I could stop. Nope, next thing you know, I was at Walgreen's picking up microwave popcorn and movie candy. mmmm, sno-caps, my favorite. I, for some unkown reason, happened to have heart shape bath fizzies in the craft room. Along with red and pink ribbon. They started out in brown paper bags until I realized I may need more than 6. 


I went on youtube and looked up 'how to make a paper bag' until I found a design I liked. Then I went looking for scrapbook paper and found one of my boyfriends old pin-up calendars. Score! Made bags then stuffed them and this is how it looked!
(some of the pictures you will notice were taken when I still thought brown bags were going to do the trick;))

xxooxoo

Calendar and Pin-Up Treat Bags

Each bag had a different quote.

I made a different card for the code.

The Goodies

So wrong. And funny.

This always reminds me of Celine, my best friend of 24 YEARS!

I love this idea and the pin-ups worked like a charm.
