This weeks question is:
Are you planning on seeing the new Alice in Wonderland Movie?



Today is my husband's 36th birthday (I am 4mths and a day older than him). For his birthday we are dropping Lily off at his parent's house (while Ian is at school) and we are going out to lunch and to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie that started today.

Wordless Wednesday-Kitty Kitty

Everyday I have to remind Ian to shut his dresser drawers....

The kitty found a cozy bed for a few hours...

{BTW...Ian & I went through his drawers this weekend and reorganized them.  I have been on a cleaning & purging kick for the past few weeks.  I have a friend who takes all of my children's clothes.  I tried to take toys to Goodwill and they no longer accept ANY children's products and told my husband we will have a hard time finding anyone that will.  Pretty sad that the Federal Government would rather have them in landfills.  What happened to reuse & going green?  Did you hear that they want 'warnings' on hot dogs now? Ok, enough of my complaining.  Where do you take your used toys?}


Edited to add: The Salvation Army takes Childrens Toys.  YAY! We will be dropping them off on Friday.  =D

Take Me Back Tuesday & Flashback Friday

March 19th, 1993

Spring Break

1st year of college

I went to Genesse Community College for 2yrs right after high school.  A few of my friends from high school went to Erie Community College.  Our spring breaks were at different times.  So my parents drove me an hour (I didn't have a car yet) to my friend Julie's house (girl in the photos...we are still friends) and I hung out with her for a few days.  I remember going with her to a few of her classes.  Not sure what else we did besides act goofy...(yes my glasses are on the front of my face along with all of my hair)

Hopping to the cupcake house...

Remember my Snow Scene Terrarium I made for presents this year for friends & family?...

Remember how I turned it into my Valentine Terrarium?...

My sister asked me to make an Easter pin set for the terrarium I made her for Christmas. (BTW...She still hasn't received her gift because we haven't made it down to visit yet...promise you will get it soon...with all the other holiday pins.)

So I wanted grass instead of snow. I bought some green wool roving at AC Moore and put it around the foam (go here to see the tutorial on how I made the original snow scene).

How about a closer shot?

Even closer?

After I made it I did a little happy dance. It is now on my amoire...
YAY!!

Mother nature has dumped lots of snow here over the past few days. Maybe mother nature is making up for not much snow in December & January. I am not so patiently waiting for spring. How about you?

Edited to add: You can find the set of 3 spring pins I used in my terrarium here.
