Decorated desk for a birthday and Easter

When I arrived at work on Friday, my desk looked like this ^^^ my friend Jessica had "decorated" it for my birthday =) She knows my love of buttons and had scattered them all over my desk! She added a few birthday banners, flowers in a basket, and pink glittery decorations! I LOVE it! She had also brought in a HUGE box of Starbucks coffee, cream, fruit, and mini lemon poppyseed muffins that were delish! Thank you so much Jessica!

Had a great Easter and Birthday, of the course the Easter bunny came this year! We hadn't seen him in a while! Ha! So after hunting for eggs, I cooked blueberry waffles for breakfast then we drove around showing off this area we love so much to my dad. The sun came out for a visit, so we were able to see the beautiful Canadian snow covered mountains. Mt Baker hid in a cloud cover all day, but we could see the mountains around it.

We came home and I cooked Easter dinner of salmon, chicken, asparagus, fruit, green salad, deviled eggs, and Angel food Cake with strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream for dessert.

My sister sewed this great purse for me! I LOVE IT! LOVE the colors, the fabric, the ruffle! Thank you so much Becky for taking the time to create this beautiful bag for me!

Hope you had a fun-filled Easter too!

Matt flying with Uncle Scott and dying Easter eggs

Matt was SO excited to fly the airplane with Uncle Scott, and spend the night with Aunt Laurie!
We all walked out to the airplane with him...
And watched as they took off! Then my dad says to my step mom... did he take his dramamine?!? Oops! Luckily, he didn't need it! He LOVED it, and can't wait to go again! Maybe tomorrow if he can get Uncle Scott to go ;)
Then we came home and dyed Easter eggs before going for my Birthday dinner!
Easter is my honeys favorite holiday! He was a happy boy to be dying eggs this year! Love you honey!

Tulips 2010! Yay!

It is tulip time!!! :) My FAVORITE time of the year!
My dad came to visit, it is his first visit to Bellingham! It is so nice to have him, my step mom and my nephews Matt and Colton and niece Morgan all here! I LOVE showing off this wonderful place we live!
I love how they ALWAYS plant the tulips where there is a barn in the background :) They have to move the fields every year and do not replant in a field for 5 years.
So each year we go, is different! It is always cold too:( But SOOO worth it! (Miss you mom! Next year?!?)

Just beautiful! I may try to talk my honey into going again before the end of the month! Haha! Hope you are having a beautiful weekend! Have a HAPPY EASTER!

Wedding favors Jessica and Eric

I finished the 75 wedding favors for my co-worker. I LOVE how they turned out! She did too :)
I packaged them all up in a brown gift bag... with green tissue paper.
Added some ribbon and a tag!
So much fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wedding favors

One of the xray techs at my work approached me last week about making 75 small m&m favors for a wedding in a couple weeks. I made 2 samples for her to choose from.
She chose the one with the bride and grooms names on them, I also added the date. I have finished 50 and just need to get more ribbon to finish the last 25. I should be done with them tomorrow night, so I will post a picture then. So much fun working on projects for other people to celebrate a special day or occasion!

Let the work week begin! :( Weekends are too short! Have a fabulous week!

Spring, Heart Stones, and Easter

Scott and I spent a couple hours doing yard work, such a nice feeling (I think anyway, Scott not so much! Hehe!)
I was able to plant some flowers near the front door.
Makes me so ready for warm weather and gardening!


Scott's sister Jodi sent this book and the rocks back with him when she saw him in Boston. LOVE it! Can't wait to look for my own Heart Stones!
Any one who knows me, knows I LOVE hearts!
This one has sparkles!
I decided to add a basket picture on the mantle, I think it helps the balance a little better.
Scott and I also drove to Birch Bay to the C shop for chocolate bunnies! Yummy!
I am sending a goodie to each of our kids...
Had to have a goodie for each of my niece and nephews that are coming to visit Friday!

Scott had one while we were at the C shop, but he wanted one for Easter too! Hehe!
And I couldn't forget my friends at work!
I decided to make some special m&m treats for my friend Jessica for Easter, I made another 30 total, these are the 8 for her using my bird punch. The rest are for us to sell for Relay for Life.
Koko was feeling very neglected! :)

Had a great weekend! Accomplished A TON! And SO HAPPY to have Scott home! Sounds like he will be here until after Easter! Yay!

Adding touches of Lavender

I found this paper at the paper store the other day, and fell in LOVE with it. It is made in Italy, and reminds me of my favorite dishes from Italy.
I have been considering repainting the kitchen a pale green, and using lavender and green accents, so I stuck a piece of the paper above my oven.
I also used some on the back of the curio cabinet in the living room.
I am liking it alot!

We are having a great weekend! Hope you are too!

My hubby is finally HOME!

Scott is finally home after almost 5 weeks in Boston! He wasted no time wanting to fly! So I tagged along, it was a little hazy out, but gorgeous as usual!
I just love the color of the water. ( Click the images to enlarge)
All the little islands and boats below.

We headed to the famous Spruce Goose restaurant at Port Townsend. I have heard about this place but had never been before. It was delish! I hope to go again soon :)
Then off we went back over all the islands towards home.
We flew over Deception Pass...
Off in the distance you can see shades of yellow, that would be the daffodils. Scott offered to fly me over them and the tulips that are in bloom, but we were experiencing some turbulence. I just wanted down about that time!

It was a great day! Luckily the turbulence didn't last too long.

We will be heading to the tulip fields next weekend when my dad is here and Easter, can't wait!
