Boy have I been busy this past month.. still working on the house thing (Allie's room is ALL done, and our room is textured and is getting painted by my handy man husband, Ben, on Monday!)I wanted to show you pictures of the process, but my dear, sweet daughter... accidentally broke my Digital Rebel. It wasn't really her fault, but man I am not loving living without a camera. I was going to order a new one right away (unfortunately mines not fixable).. but then I read that Canon is coming out with a brand NEW digital rebel in May with new video technology.. so decided I better wait for that!
So I don't have update pictures.. but I DO have some exciting things to share with you!!

I also have to share with you my new favorite thing! A few weeks ago, I was visiting a blog of one of my dear friends and saw a post about these wonderful camera strap covers from *SHEY* {B}'s Etsy site! You know how I LOVE the color red, just about died when I saw the red and white damask strap, so I had to get it for myself as an early Mother's Day gift. It was just SO me! I received mine last week and am totally in love! She has so many styles to choose from and you can also get them customized with extra padding, a pocket for your lenses caps or even extended lengths! You seriously have to check out her website! (and another p.s.! she is also one of our sponsor of the April newsletter, and is giving away one of her fabulous straps! So make sure you check out the Scarlet Lime Blog to get entered for that!) Here's a picture of the one I ordered.. SO in love!
Make sure you check out her site.. it's really cute. I have alot of favorite things from Etsy that I have purchased recently, I will have to show you them when I can take some pictures!
Well it's FINALLY warm here! Sort of.. it's almost 60! and the good news is, we have 70 degree weather in our next week's forecast! I am SOOOO excited! so tired of the snow (which it did by the way this week.. snow..),but I was also thankful for our late snowfalls this year.. because last week, we had some very dear friends, Retha and Zander, visit us from South Africa. They have talked to us alot about how they have never seen snow, never been in a snowfall and have ALWAYS wanted to go skiing. Well fortunately for us, they had a meeting that got canceled, and we happened to get a ton of fresh snow at a ski resort just 2 hours away.. So we took them on a day trip to see snow fall for the FIRST TIME! Ben taught Zander how to snowboard (he's never skied or snowboarded in his life).. and he did pretty good! Retha and I spent the day in the lodge, just chatting, drinking hot chocolate and watching the snow fall. It was an awesome experience for us. We got to share something with them, they had never experienced before.. much like our visit with them back in November in South Africa.. what a cool thing.. Love those two!
Well so it's going to be a nice weekend.. filled with lost of outdoor activities (getting our garden started..).. I can't wait!
I hope you have a wonderful and warm weekend too!
The Got Crafts class sounds awesome!
