Sweet Eye Candy Creations

Little boy Shadowbox

Good Monday greetings!!! Hope all you Mommies (to big and little ones) had a wonderful Mothers day and were pampered and spoiled like crazzy! We DESERVE it!!! :) It was the first time my hubby took the kids ALL day long (even grocery shopping) with a big smile on his face and not one grumble or complaint. hee! hee! Mothers Day started out a wee bit scarey for us. We had very bad storms come thru in the wee hours, and our tornado sirens went off at 5:30am. By 6am hubby and I had the kids safely downstairs in the basement because a tornado was spotted and we needed to take shelter. It was quite scarey to say the least. We were extremely fortunate that we did not get hit, however a torando did touch down appx 5-7 miles south of our neighborhood. There was a lot of storm damage and were very lucky to have our power, but had no water for most of the day. Anyhoo, by late afternoon water came back on, and we enjoyed the rest of our evening.

The kiddies did a FANTASTIC job with gift giving. How did they EVER know that Mommy wanted a new camera??? Hmmm...maybe a little biride told them.

I got the just released Nikon P80 Coolpix. It's a good snap a shot pic but with more bells and whistles.

Last Thursday Grant's preschool hosted a Mothers Day tea. All the Mommies and children are to wear their Sunday best and spend quality time having tea and and tea sandwiches. It is so much fun and just the SWEETEST and most sentimental!!!!

Look at this beautiful table setting!

Yummy! My Fav! Cucumber sandwiches.

The older school children served us. :)

Grant and his best friend Conner.

All the children made a present for their Mommies. Here he is his bringing me my gift. Notice the faux sprinkled rose petals on the floor! Sweet touch!

TA-DA! A wall plaque to hang! He used a puple ink and a floral stamp to create this adorable plaque. The photo is of him making it for me. He's so proud! :)

Im excited to show you my newest shadowbox. A super sweet customer had asked me to make a boy theme shadowbox for her newborn son Gavin. Im use to making all things girlie, pink, and with lots of froof! However, I was up for the CHALLANGE!

 

I really love how the blue, red and creamy white worked together. Im pretty happy with the results. :)

One last thing that I must SHOW off is this SWEETEST most YUMMIEST cupcake pillow made by my wonderful and dearest friend Cheryl. I ADORE the fabric! It looks PERFECT in Miss Vivi's room.

Please skip over to Inspire Company to see Miss Cheryl's WORK that's for sale! She is the featured guest artist, and OH MY GOODNESS! The sweetest treasures guaranteed to melt your heart!!!!!

This week Im busy dreaming and creating some NEW NEW things to sell! Cant wait to share!

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you all a FABULOUS and CREATIVE WEEK!!! XOXO,

Southern Belle in Savannah

Warm Greetings lovely friends! Im a wee bit late catching up on my blog. It's been a WHIRLWIND of a week!!! My 16 year old dog Alli has been very very sick.

She has seizures every so often,and this past weekend the came back agressivly. It's so heartbreaking!!! We've been to the vet, and she is being treated with medication. There are times she cant quite make it outside to use the bathroom or can barely get up for that reason because her back legs give out. The good news is my vet doesn't think she is in pain or is suffering, AND she still has her appetitie and drinks plenty of water. She also stares at me with those big brown eyes and acts happy to see me everytime I walk thru the door. Im making sure her last little bit of time is full of quality and LOTS & LOTS of LOVE & TLC!!!

Last weekend my hubby and I spent a FUN adult weekend in Savannah, GA. My parents and my Uncle and his wife joined us as well. We own property outside of Savannah and if you have NEVER been. You are missing out! It truly is the OLD SOUTH!!! Im going to treat you to a few pics of large live oak trees and southern style homes ALONG with my FAV Savannah shops!!!

I SWEAR pics dont do this home justice! It reminds me of a home you would see on the Mississippi river.

This picture of my silly hubby and I at dinner after he had a great day of golf. He was a happy camper!

While the boys golfed all day, us ladies went shopping in downtown Savannah. My FAV place to shop is Vintage General. Liz is the shop owner and I met her several years ago at her first location. Her shop has continually grown over the years and she has moved three times. Her current location is FABULOUS! The shop is even BIGGER and FULL of more GOODIES! I was like a kid in the candy shop!!!!! She carries everything! You must check out her online store. Here is a little lookie at the inside. Come on! I'll give ya a tour!

Display stand of yummy Millinery.

The most beautiful ribbons!

Vintage Bling!

Liz (shop owner) and I posing with my yummy fun purchases. Everytime I visit Savannah I MUST pay a visit to Vintage General.

Right down the street is ANOTHER super fabulous shop in which Im sure many of you have heard of. The Paris Market.

They carry the most beautiful and eclectic decor from big to small.

Cafe

Cozy little spot.

This is a photo of the fountain taken at beautiful Forsyth Park.

Of course I did not come home empty handed. I purchased a few fun things from Vintage General. I fell HEAD OVER HEELS in love with this vintage Nestle Frutips cannister. The sherbet colors are so fun!

I found a great spot for it in my kitchen.

Of course I must bring my babies a gift home. I found this also at Vintage General, and just the candy theme alone made me want to squeal!!! My Mom wondered if I was really and truly buying it for Grant, or really for myself. hee! hee!

Here are the playing cards. SWEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!

Lookie at this OOOOH so YUMMY book I couldn't resist buying! " Hello, Im a C-H-O-C-O-H-L-A-T-E addict! Nice to meet you!"

Read the fine print! THAT'S ME! :))))

Oh gosh! I wish you could see the reciepes and mouth drooling delish dessert pics inside. Im NOT a baker whatsoever, but I just had to have this book!

Lastly, I want to share a few pics of my BEAUTIFUL outdoor roses. I wish you could smell them. They are sooooo incredibly fragrant.

I hope ALL you Mommies have a WONDERFUL, RELAXING, and SUPER LOVING weekend! I'll post again on Sunday to send well wishes, share some sweet Mothers Day pics, as well as pics of a custom vintage boy shadowbox that I just completed.

Hugs & Kisses! XOXO, 

      

 

       

Pretty in Pink

 

Warm welcomes girlie girls!!! What a way to start off a new post with a sexy Gil Elvgren pinup girl. Think of her as a grown up "big girl" ballerina with a little less tutu and high heel satin pumps instead of ballerina slippers. hee! hee! This post theme is dedicated to all that is "Pretty in Pink". I have ALL sorts of sweet pastel pink yummies that Im giddy to to share with you. 

This evening I took this super sweet pic of my cutie-pie Vivi. She just had her bath (hence the wild wet hair) and she is riding her pink pony.

Here we are commanding that DADDY stop standing around and "PUSH ME"!!!!!

   

That picture just cracks me up. All ready acting like a DIVA! She's got the PJ top to prove it. :)

I've had a fun time scouring and finding some ooey gooey sweet pinkalicious goodies for my artwork. Look at this darling pink squeaky elephant I just purchased. I have some WILD and INSANE ideas for it! However, it's so darn cute I dont know if I can part with it.

    

These next Pretty in Pink items were purchased from Miss Sheri of Pawsh Poodle. She has a beautiful online boutique that you must check out!

EEEEEK!!!! Isnt this frenchy poodle with the pink barrett just ADORABLE??

LOOKIE at this SHABBY PINK DOLL!!!! Have you ever seen one quite like her? I haven't!  She is so pink and girlie! Another one to add to the growing collection! hee! hee!

Mister Grant was invited to a PINKALICIOUS birthday party for a little girl in his class this past weekend. My first thoughts were. Girl.. Pink.. BIRTHDAY!!!! OH WHAT FUN I can have making something special for her. Forget running to Walmart or Target. Grant's mamma is going to MAKE her birthday gift. :) The little girl's Mommy emailed me a picture of her daughters face and TA-DA!!!! This is what I dreamed up!

Close-up

Cute little pup tooting her party horn!

I added a pretty bow and it's ready to hang!

The little birthday girl took one look and instantly tried to bite the candy! ACK! I should have known better. It quickly ended up in the pile of opened gifts, but thankfully the Mom was TICKLED and THRILLED over it! I was even more delighted when the Mom showed me her daughters room which is decorated so sweet and girlie, but had NO pictures on the wall! GASP! So, the Mom is super excited to FINALLY have a little something special to add to her daughters bedroom walls.

I have recently become OBSESSED with Etsy seller Missy aka Boopsie Daisy . I OOOGLE her COLORFUL RAINBOW Flickr photos ALL the time. She is like a little bright sunshine bringing warm smiles into your life with her photostream. They are UBER whimsy, quirky,funny, and SOOOOO DARN CUTE! Take a peek when you have time. You are guaranteed a smile and a laugh! Trust me Im not the only one who worships her. Just take a lookie at her testimonials. They speak for themselves.

Missy and I have formed a blossoming friendship. We both LOVE  and admire each others work. She is such a sweet soul and truly ONE OF A KIND!!!! I just purchased one of her NEW Boopsie dolls named Esther Bunny. Omigosh! Is she just not a bundle of CUTENESS??

Lookie at her GORGEOUS candy hair "DOO". She has to visit the hairdressers weekly to maintain her stylish look! hee! hee!

In return I have created a special doll for Missy. Miss Boopsie Queen.

Miss Boopsie Queen has a pinwheel instead of silver wand because Boopsie's world is so COLORFUL and there is one particular photo in her Flickr photostream of her daughter with a big old fashioned rainbow swirly lollipop. It's the SWEEEEETEST photo, and In the background is a LARGE wind pinwheel. To me this darling little pinwheel represents Miss BOOPSIE. :)

Im a LOVER of vintage jewelry. My heart belongs to vintage bling! However, this last little sweet treat I  took one look and just had to have! It's NOT all pink, but has plenty of sweet pink pastel sprinkles inside. It's my new resin candy cupcake necklace by Kim aka Stoopidgerl.

She is now creating a custom EYE CANDY piece just for me with some extra BLING! Can NOT wait to see it!!! 

I also have to give Kim a HUGE CONGRATS! She now has 4000 people that heart her shop on Etsy! Whoo-hoo!!! Kim has such a WILD sense of humor which I just LOVE! You'll get a little taste of it if you stop by her shop. hee! hee!

Im looking forward to participating in Miss Jessi's "Favorite Childhood Toy Party" which is Thursday May 1st. Be sure to stop by Jessi's blog and hop skip over to mine for some super funny childhood pics of me and my FAVORITE toys!!!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous spring filled week. Im off to Savannah this weekend for a fun getaway! I hope to catch up with everyones bloggies before I leave!

Hugs & Kisses sweet friends!!! XOXO

                 

 

Junque in your trunk SWAP!

 

Hello my lovely friends! I feel like Im SOOOO late blogging and posting pics of the OH SO FABULOUS swap that was hosted by the super sweet Miss Heather of Pretty Petals. I guess better late than never! hee! hee!

No time to waste! Onto the YUMMY eye candy!!!!!! My swap partner was Miss Analise of SUGAR*SUGAR. Heather did an OUTSTANDING job pairing us girls up with one another. We both LOVE the exact same things. I just knew I was going to have TONS of fun shopping and collecting little pretties for her!

The idea was to fill a "trunk" of sweet beautiful treasures. This was the trunk that I decided to use. This is my BEFORE picture.

TA-DA!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFTER PIC!!!!

Here is the trunk all "froofed" and decorated!

Lets take a PEEK inside! Shall we????

Yummy sweet pretties galore!!!! 

Analise collects vintage wedding toppers and I found this darling dove wedding topper.

Sparkley aqua glitter in vintage bottle and crepe paper.

Vintage powder box.

Let them Eat Cake notecards by Paper Nosh.

So now you got to see the pretties I sent Miss Analise. Here's my goodies she sent me.

Omigosh! I LOVE & ADORE this little girl figurine! I have a small collection that is GROWING!!!

I about DIED when I unwrapped this delicate & BEAUTIFUL embroidered pillowcase. It will look precious on Miss Vivi's "big girl" bed!

Squuuueeeel! Bunny plaques!

Im such a lucky lucky girl to have recieved so many beautiful treasures from Miss Analise. I LOVE ALL my sweet goodies. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH ANALISE!!!!

I would love to share with you a little hostess gift I sent to Miss Heather. This swap truly has to be one of my FAV'S!!!!

Miss Heather received a vintage glove box of little treasures.

THANK YOU Miss Heather for hosting such a EYE CANDY filled swap. I've been looking at other participants blogs and Flickr and I've NEVER seen so many gorgeous treasures! It's SOOOOO much fun giving, and just AS MUCH fun as receiving!!!! 

My last post I featured the FUN sweet treats that I sent to Miss Heather of Speckled Egg for the Artsy Mamma Vintage Party swap, and Im soooo GIDDY and EXCITED to show YOU ALL what she sent ME in return. Heather *SPOILED* ME ROTTEN!!!!

**WARNING!*** This is sooooooooooo SWEET your teeth will HURT!!! ;)

Talk about a *SUGAR HIGH* Im dizzy from all the SWEETNESS she sent me! Thank you soooooooooooooooo MUCH Heather! I cant WAIT to use all my goodies for Grant & Vivi's birthday party!!!

I CANT resist showing you this next picture that I took today. My son TOTALLY takes after me. Im a HUGE chocolate lover! I literally have to have at least a small piece of chocolate a day. Hence the gumball machine in my kitchen full of peanut M&M's. Anyhoo, I bought the small single cups of chocolate ice cream for my son to have as a special treat. This afternoon he sits at his little table in the kitchen to enjoy his ice cream. Meanwhile, Mommy is busy surfing the net and Flickr. :) All of a sudden I look up from my computer to see this little dirty boy covered in chocolate!

I could NOT resist but to bust out laughing!!! This is what I LOVE about children!!!

This is a Tell-Tale sign that he enjoyed his ice cream! ;)

This past weekend was the Historic Macon Party of the Year which is an annual black tie event that we've attended the past three years . I invited my close girlfriend Heather to join us for a night of getting "dolled" up, sip champagne, eat yummy hor dourves,mingle and dance the night away. These are a few pics before we hit the town!

I usually wear a long gown to these events, but I found this gorgeous pale pink dress and just had to have it. I felt like a retro 50's gal wearing this dress. I was told that SEVERAL times throughout the night.

Here is my handsome hubby and I.

My gorgeous friend Heather that had a "Grace Kelly" look about her. 

Thank you ALL for stopping by and visiting. My goal this week is to catch up on blogs! Im dying to know what EVERYONE has been up to!!!! :)

Have a wonderful and SUPER CREATIVE week! Hugs and Kisses to all! XOXO,

Artsy Mamma Vintage Party SWAP!!!!

Hello sweet and fabulous friends! WOW! I feel like I've been away, but I really haven't. I've just been a busy bee working on my swap gifts, that I've haven't made time to blog or LOOK at  blogs for that matter. I MUST catch up!!!! . Im the worlds worst procrastinator! I wait to the last wee second, and than EEK!!! Stress myself out trying to create like a mad women and get it in the mail by deadline. However, I must admit I ALWAYS work better under pressure because Im sooo focused. LOL!!! Ok enough of the rambling mindless chit chat.

 

On to the FUN STUFF!!!!! The talented Miss Kari aka Artsy Mamma hosted a super sweet and FUN swap titled " Vintage Party Swap". I was SOOO lucky to be partnered up with Miss Heather "Speckled Egg". She has a FABULOUS online shop full of yummy craft supplies, and she is always creating the most precious little treasures and keepsakes so we were both tickled to be paired up with one another. Since we both have small wee ones, we thought it would be PERFECT to each do a VINTAGE BIRTHDAY SWAP!!!!

I LOOOOOOOVE creating whimsy cute treasures. So I had an idea to create a colored filled FUN birthday centerpiece keepsake box.

    

I hope this colorful whimsy birthday box puts a HUGE smile on Miss Heathers face! ;)

What's a birthday party without CAKE OR CUPCAKES???? So, I added a box of cake mix, frosting,yummy sprinkles, a vintage Betty Crocker Parties for Children book, and the CUTEST vintage inspired girlie cupcake picks from Rock a Bye Retro. 

All you Mommies know that when you throw a birthday party you MUST have treat bags! No one can go home empty handed. So I made up these sweet girlie treat bags.

Ask any child and they will ALL tell you they LOVE sugary sweet CANDY! I named these "Sugar Bears". I think they turned out sooooooooo stinking CUTE!!!! I MUST remember this for future birthdays. These are honey bottles that I opened and poured out ALL the honey into Mason Jars, and cleaned out the honey bear bottles. I dressed them up with party hats, and stuffed them full of SWEETS!

Behind shot.

Hello! Do I look good enough to eat????

Here is the last shot of everything getting ready to get boxed up and shipped to Miss Heathers home. I hope all these sweet treats will create giggles,squeels and happy smiles with all the children. Enjoy Miss Heather!!!!!!!

Over a week ago I recieved a SURPRISE package at the door. I buy ALL sorts of stuff on the internet all the time. So Im use to boxes arriving daily at my front steps. However this was an unusually large box. I thought to myself "Hmmmm.... did I buy something on Ebay that I forgot about?" Well to my SURPRISE it was a beautiful and EXTREMELY thoughtful gift from a customer of mine named Suze of Junque Drawer Chick . She had purchased one of my Easter bunny creations and was head over heels in love with it. She was so tickled and thrilled with it, and like me is 100% girlie girl, she decided as a token of her appreciation she would create something for Miss Vivi's room.  You MUST check out Suze's mosaic work! GORGEOUS!!!!  Lookie at what she created for Miss Vivi's room!

I was BLOWN away! No one has done anything like this for me just out of random kindness. Let's put it this way it's far and few between!  The letter Suze wrote me was full of gratitude, and just warmed my heart and it made me feel so good to know that my work made her smile and happy.

Not only did Vivi get a gift, but Suze and her 3 small boys didn't want Grant to feel left out, so her darling boys wanted Grant to have their hand me down super hero's that they no longer play with!Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! HOW SWEET! Suze is trying to teach her boys to be "kind little men". Grant took one look at the bag and super hero's and he lit up with excitment! Here's some pics of him playing with the super hero's.

 

   

This face cracks me up! 

   

Thank you SO SO SO much Suze! You and your boys were so thoughtful to think of us. We truly appreciate it!!!

Ok, the time has come to SHOW OFF my new "DO". LOL!!!! Ok, I did not cut off much of the length, because hubby would have been upset. However, I know have bangs,and my cut is more choppy in the back. Cant really tell from the pics. Im STILL getting use to wearing my hair this way. So far I've received great compliments and my hubby loves my new hair style. Says I look  younger with bangs. WHOO-HOO!!

    

Sorry for the SAME background as all my other pics.It's getting boring seeing me in front of the shower curtian. LOL!!!!

More playing around hair pics.

 

PONYTAIL time! Im usually in a ponytail 24/7.

 

Omigosh! I had NO clue that wearing bangs could be so hard. Apparently there is a technique and special brush that I have to use to dry and style them. I just happened to stop by the salon today to buy more product and my hairdresser saw my hair and bangs,and said "NO!!! Your not doing it right! Your bangs are too curled under! You look like your SIX years old!" LOL! Jeez....  She gave me another "lesson 101" on the right techniques to styling my bangs and getting my hair super straight. AUUGH!!! Oh well! I like the style and it's growing on me. Hubby likes it and I guess I look 10 years younger so that's not a bad thing!

Hope each and everyone of you have a FABULOUS & SUPER CREATIVE week/weekend!!!!!!

Hugs & Kisses!!!! XOXO,

 

Show and tell Sunday!

Greetings my fabulous and lovely friends! I have lots of FUN & lovely little things to share with you. This photo of me is one I took the other day when I was feeling kinda springy. It's still that "in between" weather stage where you dont know whether to drag out the warm sweaters of the short sleeved shirts.

This week Im getting my hair cut. EEK! Not DRASTICALLY (hubby WONT allow he loves it long!), but I NEED something DIFFERENT. I get tired of wearing it in a pony tail all the time. LOL!!! Of course I've scooped up all the "hair" magazines at the grocery store, and have been saving pages of the style I like. I just dont know how daring I am. Just for fun here are some pics of the one's I like.

This is a cool Chrissy Hynde look. Of course my would be a bit more tame and not as rocker chick nor the color but I really like the overall style.

I really love this style! It's modern and still girlie!

      

So by Wen I will hopefully have a semi "new look". I'll keep ya posted!

It's not much of a Sneak Peek but I wanted to give you a teeny tiny little peek at one of my swap gifts for the Artsy Mamma Vintage Party Swap.

Hee! Hee! Isnt he cute????

Now onto SHOW AND TELL SUNDAY!!!!!!!

Today Miss Analise & Cerri are hosting "Show and Tell Sunday" Were we share our collections of Vintage Millinery Hats & Flowers. As much as I LOVE vintage millinery I will admit Im not a BIG collector of millinery. I do use it in my crafts and I LOVE vintage hats (which I DO collect). So my little show and tell wont have NEARLY as much as most of you that are participating.

This first photo is of a large vintage Madame Alexander doll that use to belong to my Grandmother when she was a little girl. She has since been past down to me and onto Vivi. She's a wee bit dirty, but she is still beautiful in every way!!! Her little straw hat is adorned with tiny little millinery.

I just adore her red ruby lips and big blue eyes!

This is pretty little bundled collection.

   

A found a sweet pair of vintage baby booties that were never worn and still in the orginal box. The colors could NOT look more sweet!

 

Here is a darling little birdie planter I picked up at the flea. She looks bright and happy with her little millinery "hair do". :)
 

This is my collection of my millinery hats. A froofy Victorian Hat.

This GORGEOUS hat was purchased from the super sweet Miss Heather. I must admit it's my FAV!!!!!

Okey-dok! That's about it for my little show and tell. Cant wait to hop, skip, and jump around to check out all the blogs of those who are participating. I will need to borrow my daughters bib so I can wipe off all the drool. LOL!!!!

Hope you are all having a FANTASTIC Sunday. Have a happy & creative week!

KISSES!!! XOXO,   

 

I WON! I WON!

Is this not the SWEETEST image??? (please disregard the scratched out Happy B-day. hee! hee!) This is EXACTLEY how I feel! Goody! Goody! Gum Drops! I finally won my first blog entry giveaway!!!! I've added my name to COUNTLESS blog giveaways, but have yet to win, until Miss Jillian emailed me saying I was the lucky winner. WHOO-HOO!!! You MUST stop by her blog and see her most recent post. OH MY! I didnt realize how much inventory she carries. She's getting ready to do an outdoor show and her tent is AMAZING!!! Just the sweetest and most PRECIOUS handpainted furniture, plaques, dolls, you name it. Jillian is not only SUPER TALENTED but so so NICE!!! Lookie at what I won! This precious Hunny Bunny plaque. You all know Im a sucker for bunnies! PERFECT for Miss Vivi's room.

Also inside was an extra gift! Jillian didnt want Grant to feel left out, so she made him a little something special for his room.

Jillian you are soo thoughtful and such a sweetie pie for thinking of Mister Grant. THANK YOU soooo much for our gifts! We LOVE them. :)

So this past weekend I did a little Flea Market shopping. Not going to show all my goodies because some are for swap gifts, but I must share this adorable Enesco Kitty teapot set. $10 for the whole set. WHOO-HOO! You'll pay ALOT more on Ebay!!!

   

Found the PUUURFECT spot for them in my kitchen!

Im sure MANY of you ladies are familiar with the OUT OF THIS WORLD GORGOUES Marie Antoinette International Round Robin book. The lovely Miss Holly, Natahsa, Heather, and GINNY all collaborated in this project. When I first laid eyes on the BREATHTAKING pages I fell head over heels in love. I would just LOVE to get my hands on that book and "Oooh and Aaaah" over every page! I than decided to ask sweet Ginny if she would be willing to create a Marie Antoinette collage for me. To my excitement she agreed and "TA-DA!" here is the DIVINE piece!

    

I LOVE every inch of detail! Breathtaking work!

She is proudly displayed above my vanity dresser in my bedroom.

 

Ginny and I both agree that she would have been an EXCELLENT Court Dressmaker back in that time and era. Maybe, just maybe she was one in a past life? :)   

Now I want to introduce to you Miss Georgia. She is a custom bunny box for a wonderful and super lovely Aussie friends of mine. The name was given to by my friend. This girlie little springtime bunny is catching butterflies.

She is another one that it just so hard to part with!!!!! I just know she will love her new home "down under".

Well, that's all for the yummy eye candy today. I want to end this post with some beautiful pics outside the steps of my house. Last week and this week is the Cherry Blossom festival. It's a HUGE annual event held here in Macon every year. The event even has a  PINK mascot poodle!

 

We have rows and rows of blossomed Cherry Trees and azaleas in full bloom.

   

In about a week it will all fall and look like a blanket of snowy white. :) I dont DARE show you what my black turned yellow car looks like now. The beauty of the trees is well worth the pollinated cars, stuffy noses and itchy eyes. LOL!!!!

Have a FABULOUS SPRINGY filled week!!!!

XOXO,
