Count your blessings!

As I was reminded today by another blogger, this week is National Infertility Week. For any of you who know what its like to struggle with this then you will truly be touched when you hear this song! It is SO true! Most people take things for granted but I hope you count your blessings! I know I do every night! I am blessed with a husband that I love and who loves me and everything I have been given. God is good!

(You will have to go to the lower right hand side of my blog and click the pause button on my ipod to listen to the youtube song.)

Got to get one!

I had this made for one of my very close friends who is expecting. This is a great gift and would look cute in any child's room and can be done in any color! This women is a VERY talented stay-at-home Mom who desgins and makes many other things including: personalized bags, name signs, vinyl decor, personalized candy jars, etc! Look below the picture for her information..... you should definitely check her out!

Finished Projects

So I have finally finished the 3 projects I had going! I made 2 diaper cakes and a set of baby shower invitations. They were all so fun to make!! I am so ready for summer break because after doing these projects, it really makes me want to get back into scrapbooking more!! Here are the finished projects.... tell me what you think! The first diaper cake is a safari theme and the second cake is a snakes & snails & puppy dog tails theme!

I hope you all have had a great weekend! Ours was pretty busy. We had two birthday party's to go to and had a BLAST at both!

Happy Birthday Ryan R. & Jeremy!!

Easter Sunday

The Easter Bunny came to The Wilkins House this morning... haha! Mike is such a sweetheart. He surprised me this morning with an Easter basket! I am sure he will assist me in eating all the candy out of it though. I felt bad because I hadn't gotten him anything. (We usually don't exchange Easter gifts). So I made him breakfast!! It was a great day over all despite all the rain.

After our Easter lunch I came home and took a nap! I usually squeeze a nap in on Sundays... especially when it is a rainy one like today! I was energized after my nap so I took on the task of making my first diaper cake. It is not totally finished but I just couldn't wait to share what it looks like so far!! I still need to paint the initial. I will post more pictures after I finish the other one . It's a safari theme... I fell in love with this giraffe print ribbon and had to use it!

I hope you all have a great week!

Easter Weekend

Happy Easter!! I am so excited about our Easter service at church tomorrow and eating lunch with our family! We are so blessed to have such a loving and caring family who lives very close to us. We never have to travel far to see them and they are always here when we need them! I hope they all know how much we love them! Today I put together some Easter baskets for our nephews Jeremy and Jax. They aren't anything special but I thought I would share a picture of them.

Tomorrow after all of the Easter festivities I am going to attempt to make 2 diaper cakes for 2 of the baby showers I am hosting. I spent 1.5 hours at Hobby Lobby today trying to decide on fabric and ribbon. I am such a picky person and a perfectionist... so we will see how this goes! I will post pictures of the end results.. Wish me luck! haha Here is a picture of the one I am going to try and duplicate for one of them! Istn't it CUTE? I hope you all have a blessed Easter Sunday!

One of those weeks!

I am the odd person that actually likes a busy week! haha And this week is one of those weeks! First of all this is the week that we give standardized tests. I teach Kindergarten ... and yes those poor little ones have to take them. I know they will do just fine but it is a BIG deal for a little person. I am lucky enough to have a great principal. She is providing us with breakfast all week and we can wear JEANS!!! It doesn't take much to make us happy! Friday I will have a substitute and it is our annual Easter Egg Hunt at school. I dread having to prepare for a sub... It is difficult enough on a regular day but on a field trip day its even harder! I hope everyone has a great week!
