Five Minute Craft

I bought $5 sale necklaces and t-shirts at Urban Outfitters this week, and I loved the beautifully photographed price tags that were attached.

I was determined to do something with them
because their simple content made me smile
as if they were everyday quiet moments.

I just tied them together (the more knots the better) with a rainbow thread and called it good.

You could also make a Christmas mobile by cutting out birds from old Christmas cards that may be lying in a box in your office or by folding them into origami birds and hanging them.

Make Your Roses Last

I had long stem roses that lasted a long time which were starting to droop. To extend their beauty without the wilted look, I cut the tops off and stuck them in a low bowl with fresh water.

I think it looks pretty on a warm night in from the blizzard.

Little (Pyro) Girls

Questions I had to answer at work today:

(In reference to a flash light substitute to light the inside of our pillow/blanket fort)

Q: Can we just use this fire thingy? (lighter)

A: NO!!!
Fire is not a toy and using it with pillow forts would burn your house down.

Q2: How about this? (Lit candle)

A: No!!!
Fire is not a toy and using it with pillow forts would burn your house down.

The Sound Of Vinegar Fizz

We're coloring eggs tonight from two coloring kits we had last year. We are aiming to color vibrant eggs so we only used vinegar and doubled the tablets in each cup.
I love the smell and noisy fizz that are involved.

Sprouts!

Just two or three days after planting them, my radish seeds have sprouted! They remain the only ones and they may have come so early because the heater vent is right above them on the wall. In the morning, Aaron and I saw two sprouts and by late afternoon, this is how many came through the surface.

Garden Update & Palms

There is a really quaint Greek family run grocery store called Pete's Fruit & Vegetables near my work, and I stopped in and grabbed some fresh palm leaves for Easter.

I ended up turning them into a temporary curtain with ladybug thumb tacks just for kicks and now our living room has a jungle feel to it.

I planted two more trays of veggie seeds and STILL have leftover seeds. These trays have a greenhouse lid so I think the seeds will be quick to sprout. I can't wait to see them come to the surface.

It's almost Easter!

Have a sunny-side up & eggciting Easter everyone.
I think I can spot my dads 'stache in there.
