Just a tasseling....

Well, I thought I would join the world of tasseling. I already had the topper from a previous project...(already painted black), so I started from there. Hot glue gun...check....ribbons...check....left-over fringe...found it....check.....OK ready to tassel

Put the finishing touch by painting a "B"....now it is hanging proudly in our bedroom.

Well, since I made one....gotta make another one, right? My niece's birthday would be the perfect time to make another tassel. Same style...just different ribbons.

Well, I did spice it up alittle with the polka dots....pretty cute for a six year old.

Easter Decor~ Decorating w/ Bunnies

I am joining two very talented ladies this week.....Susan, from Between Naps on the Porch and Marty from A Stroll Thru Life. These two ladies give us a reason to play with our dishes, move things around in our home, and show off our decorating talents. Give them a round of applause!!!
I am sharing the china cabinet in our kitchen. I love to decorate and change the top of this cabinet with the holidays. Easter is not exception. We are waiting patiently for Peter Cottontail to hop right on into the Barnett home. HiPpTy HoPpTy.....

BEFORE.......

AFTER.......added a few touches of Easter

Kept some of the transferware on display...just could not bare to put everything up.

This is my newest bunny....she is absolutely beautiful. She is sooo happy to be a part of the Barnett family....see it in her expression?

Yeap, you have seen this tree many times before....Christmas and Valentine's Day. This is a all-occasion tree.

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out all the other talented bloggers and see what they have been up too this past week. I have more bunnies to share...so hOp on back later.

Tabletop Tuesday~ Bunnies All Around

I am joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday and the rest of the gang because we all love the share our love for decorating. I am sharing the shelf that my MIL gave me several years ago for my birthday. It was purchased at a local antique shop. I love decorating with bunnies, and I leave most of the out all year long. Gotta love some fluffy lopped-ear bunnies. BTW....this is in the master bathroom. Never know where you might find a little bunny hopping around at the Barnett's. :)

The wall hanging was a gift from my dear friend, Wendy. It is Home Interior. The bunny planter came from Hobby Lobby a few years ago...half price of course.

The precious blue and white plate came from a wonderful jewelry/gift store that is no longer in business. They carried the most beautiful gift items. The salt and pepper shakers came from Pier 1 last year.

Mr. Bunny toting the carrots is a prize from Hobby Lobby..half price of course. So is the blue glass bunny dish. The pewter platter came from a local gift shop in town.

The pewter bunny platter came from a local gift shop in town. The blue and white bunny....not sure how he hopped into the collection....been around for awhile. The photo is of Caleb for his first Easter back in '99. Notice the real bunny. All the items in the basket were gifts he received for Easter or as baby gifts.

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out all the other great tabletops, bookshelves, or whatever people decided to decorate and show off.

Art Night at school

Caleb's art....5th grade

Rylee's art....1st grade made by painting dots...he did not get finished with his

Sarabeth's (my niece) art...Kindergarten

Could not find Noah's (my nephew). His class's art was tape to the wall, and I could not lift if up to find his name.
This was the Third Annual Art Night at the kiddos school. All of the students' art was displayed in the halls. Thanks Mr. T for all of your hard work.

Snowin down South on March 2

Well, It is March 2nd and spring is right around the corner. As you can see.....it is SNOWING!!! School was delayed two hours then it was cancelled. Of course, the kiddos are super excited to be at home all day (I have Noah and Sarabeth too) and to get to play in the snow. But....they do not understand that we will STILL be in school during JUNE!!!!

We attempted to make a snowman. Probably the first "BIG" one the kiddos have ever made. Rylee worked sooo hard on this little fellow. He fell over a couple of times.....I had to step in and assist. :) Pepper wishes that the snow would STOP because his fur is getting wet, and he is COLD!!!!

The birdies have flown further south this winter. Noone is at home!

The road less traveled today......everyone will be staying indoors today where it is dry and warm! Thanks a lot Mr. Goundhog for seeing your shadow on Feb. 2nd. I love the snow, but what about a white Christmas not a white March!!!!!!

Aunt Daisy and Uncle T celebrate 50 Years

February 27. 2010, We celebrated 50 years of marriage with our great aunt and uncle, Mr. & Mrs. T.L. Roper. They were surrounded by friends and family as we celebrated their union together as man and wife. A Golden Anniversary is a major milestone in a couple's life especially nowadays....they are an inspiration to all of us. Congratulations Aunt Daisy and Uncle T!!!!

Tabletop Tuesday

This is my first time to join Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for her Tabletop Tuesday. I thought I would share my display on top of the china cabinet in our eating area in the kitchen. I change this often especially with the holidays. I like this arrangement so much that I do not want to replace it with my Easter decor...not even for just a few weeks. :) I love the combination of reds and browns together.

The toile platter was a thrifty find a Hobby Lobby for under 3 bucks. The red transferware plates were purchased at a local antique shop several years ago. The little teapot came from Cracker Barrel several years ago. The candle holders were both a great find on the 80% off isle at Hobby Lobby.

The red transferware tureen was purchased before I ever said "I do"....so I have had it a while. It is perched on top of one of our old song books from church. The other pieces of transferware were purchased from eBay about 5 years ago. The crystal cake plates came from Hobby Lobby.....50% off of course....a gift from mama a few years ago.

The bronze iron bunny is another steal from the 80% isle at Hobby Lobby. What would we do without Hobby Lobby. Our houses would be sooo bare! :)

The monogrammed "B" picture has been in the "secret stash closet" since July '09 patiently waiting for its debut. Drum roll please........
