A Sense of Accomplishment

We all face challenges in the workplace. Some bigger than others but challenges none the less. At the coffee shop it's the demanding customer who somehow manages to order the drink with the most words and can tell if the barista ruined it by just smelling it. It's Bruno, the reason for the sign "Beware: Killer Dog", who will stop at nothing to sink his teeth into the mailman's ankle.
My workplace challenge: Having 25 3, 4 & 5 year olds sit long enough to hear a Bible story. The minute my friend showed me this picture she snapped on Easter Sunday I knew it was blog worthy. I did it. I got 24 out of 25 preschoolers sitting on their bottom keeping their hands to themselves.
This is achievement at its finest.

Spring Crafting!

Spring crafting is SO much more fun than spring cleaning so I have been doing a lot more of the crafting and a lot less of the cleaning. It sure does make for a messy house but it's a CUTE messy house!

Spring Banner











My sister made one too and posted the tutorial here. I added some fabric flowers which I think are deliciously cute (and found the tutorial here)but now have a love-hate relationship with them. I may or may not have sewn and unsewn these flowers 3 times because the perfectionist in me couldn't deal with them being lopsided. They're still lopsided and I've decided it's cuter that way (mostly I didn't want to go for round #4 and then blame my inadequte sewing abilities on my husband...you know, do something really rational like that).

Super Cute (& VERY time consuming!) Wreath



Isn't the bird the cutest?! I found the wreath tutorial here and the bird tutorial here.
