Spring Fling ~ week 5

March 30, 2011 by Kellie

Well, hello!
Can you believe it’s the last week of March?
Amazing.
So glad you all are here.
The Spring Fling is where you can link up anything inspired by Spring.
DIY, decor, photography, gardening etc.  you name it ~ bring it.
There’s also a 2nd link for any new Spring product that an etsy, big cartel or handmade business has made.  So feel free to join any of the 2 links!
This week there’s a lovely giveaway to help you set your Easter or everyday table. 
From Preppie Peonie.  More deets at the bottom of this post.
So….
this week I had tons of ideas to do for this week’s FLING.  But truth me told, a few things have happened around here & a certain etsy shop is keeping me hopping.
So I thought I would share a few pics of the kids after a celebration we had the pleasure of attending this past week.   After all, kids are our everyday DIY, decorate, spring clean, inspirational, keep us on our toes project.  Aren’t they?
😉
So I think they {kinda} count as a link up.
I realize now, I need to put more effort into the boys’ socks.  My oh my! How  those white socks on Mason show up in these pics.  I also need to continue to teach the twins that it’s not good manners to pick their noses.  Especially in public.  I will, however take credit for the boys’ bow ties.  You can see how I made them by going here.
On a personal note, I was kinda beating myself up that I didn’t have a good home project to share this week.  But today, I think I realized that some weeks you just can’t do all the things you set out to do + have fun with the kids.  There’s no question that I always love to have a good project in the works around here, but this week, I said “No.” 
And I’m so glad I did.

    Ha! my husband still doesn’t understand the sock philosophy…every Sunday I ask him “are you wearing those socks?” he doesn’t get it! my boys I think are starting to. Maybe it’ll catch on.

    Is it bad that I felt a little relieved that you didn’t get your project done this week? I’m in the same boat…great plans, no time. 🙂

    But those pictures of the kids are so adorable and that is better than any project! Oh my goodness…I could eat them up.

    Great giveaway too. Love it! Lisa~

    Hi Kellie, I hope it’s alright I crashed the party this week, since my one and only post is pretty much about blossoms and bees, can’t get much Springier than that! I found your blog via, the incredible Yvonne, over at StoneGable, and her wonderful review of your bag. I hope to find a button to lead me to it, it’s superb! xxx tami
