Happy Birthday to Lucy!

I just love this photo!

Today is my Auntie Lucy's birthday! She turns 36 today. And, yes, she is only two years older than me. Growing up she seemed like a cousin to me, so now I call her my "cousin" auntie. We had alot of fun playing at their house in Orem when we were kids. And when I was 12 years old (I think) they moved to Missouri and we didn't see each other as much. But now as mommies our kids are pretty much the same ages and our interests are the same, we are having good times again! Here is a list of just some of the wonderful things about Lucy!

- Fabulous seamstress. Quilts, aprons, clothing, softies... You name it, she does it!


- Fun mom, doing all sorts of fun things for her kids.


- Great birthday parties!
- Creative
- Loves Chickens


- Loves aprons and started her own Sassy Apron Swap
- Great cook

- makes her own soaps


She has so many fantastic sites out there! Go check Lucy out!

Tea Party on the brain

I am super excited for the Tea Party I'm having on Saturday (cross your fingers for warm weather)! So as I was playing on the internet this morning, I found this FABULOUS giveaway!

Just a reminder that I am doing a "Pay it Forward"! I haven't had anyone sign up yet, so YOU could be the first one!

The rules are: Be one of the first three people to leave a comment on my blog saying you want to "Pay it Forward" and I will send you a handmade craft sometime in the next 365 days. (No promises, but it should be before May when the baby is due!) And then you must post a "Pay it Forward" on your blog and promise to send a handmade craft to the first 3 people who sign up on your blog. And they send it on to 3 people and so forth. FUN huh!

I couldn't not post a picture, so here is one from last year. I cannot wait for the blossoms. It's still dead and wintery looking here. Well except my daffodils, but.. Anyway, Happy Spring AND happy Pay it Forward!

It that time again!
