100 Followers give~away

I never saw this milestone coming!!

Let's celebrate anyhow.

I'm incredibly grateful for blogland.  I can be ME

and it is A..OK!  I've enjoyed meeting peeps from all over the globe, what a blessing.

Blogland may be all that could have helped me see that being me is all I can be and it is a glorious thing.

The moment I spotted this tassel at TJMaxx and saw that there were 2 of them I immediately thought..1 for you and 1 for me.  It's luscious!  There was a collectible section in the back near the gardening/Spring area and I think it was the 1st time I've seen them there also girls.  It says it is a Demdaco company. 

Same as the Willow Tree collection that my nativity is in.

I embellished a desk top sign/flower and a notepad matchbook with 1 of my favorite words..BLOOM.  I used scrapbooking supplies to do both.  I also got some hot pink and polka dot cupcake liners and there is a tag from a terrific vintage etsy shoppe, a martini nail file and a big fat bunny to eat or feed your beagle. (just kidding)

I think we have ourselves a give~away.

That's it...Buttercup..

Just leave me a comment and I'll put your name in a pot.

Make sure I can figure out how to holler at ya if ya win.  I'll try to make it until Sat and announce Sun.

Bunny foo~foo

A happy Spring morning at Beagle Run Cottage..

Hand wash goodness!

I found this bunny at that resale/home store..Hidden Treasures.

Immediately, my mind raced back to a biscuit bunny... 

I got this idea from Christi at A Southern Life.

I improvised using small and grand biscuit cans and also ripped and formed the ears.  The hearts cooked more like rocks for the bunnies to hide under or hurl at Beagles.  lol

Ok, Ok..my bunny butts are not as cute as hers turned out.

I even had to toothpick a few tails in place...my bad.

 

Strawberry goodness!

Yumm~O!!

We were biscuit eatin' fools on this a.m.

I did not let Jack Beagle at any of our bunnies.  But, there were bunnies harmed in the shootin' pic session and eatin' of our breakfast.  lol!!

Girls, I'm so excited...almost 100 followers..give~away in works.

Bunny Swap Buddy

Girls, I've been told by many friends that I should be in swaps because I love to craft so much.  But...I've seen some swap mammas in action and it is intimidating.  I'm crafty but not nearly as creative as many peeps.

I participated in 2 Easter swaps this season and loved every minute of it.  Both of my packages arrived on the same day.  lol~! This is my 2nd swap ever.

 It was a happy day.

1 peek inside and I was squealing with delight.  I wanted to just stare at the pretty tissue.  Every item was individually wrapped.  I'm constantly surrounded by boys, ya'll...this thrills me. 

OMG!!  She made me a bunny!! 

OMG...I love her so much.  I had sent her a yard of fun Spring/Easter fabric and she used it on her dress.  Yes, she shocked me.  My heart was beating fast and I was feeling woozie about looking at more. 

I got a cute new kitchen towel, a bag of foil chocolate eggs, a carmel apple jar candle, gorgeous spring ribbon and a boy bunny statuette.  Fun, fun, fun!!  I've had a blast using every bit of that ribbon this Spring.  I'm saving the candle and enjoying the boy bunny in my kitchen.  I think the foil chocolate eggs are multiplying because I kept using them and they kept being there.  lol

Look at her belly button...cuteness!!

This is what went to Virginia to Tammy...

I used my blessing ribbon.  I anointed her box and prayed for her precious family.

I sent her a kitchen towel too (lol), a fabric bunny (great minds think alike), and the yard of fabric.  I think she knows what she is doing in the sewing room and was so honored that she used my fabric and made me a bunny.  I did not make my bunny like she made hers. 

I stuffed as much candy as I could fit and a key~chain project she could give 1 of her kids.

I kinda fashioned a tussie~mussie with scrapbook paper.  I'd like to do a tussie~mussie swap.

Fun, fun, fun...glad I got over my anxiety and went for it.  Gotta keep doing it to prove that it is ok to put myself out there and I get to meet new peeps, try new things, see other peeps talent.  I love that Tammy is in Virginia and could actually meet her passing thru North Carolina trips.  

Overcoming Anxiety is a beautiful thing!!
