Spring Mantle and Dreams of Sunshine

Yesterday Laila and I came home to find over a foot of snow in Bellingham, with trees and branches down all over our neighborhood from the weight of the snow and ice-crazy. So since Laila is still fighting her cold, and our driveway and street are a sheet of ice...we have been staying inside and warm all day. I'm starting to get a little stir crazy this winter, and am so ready for sunshine, flip flops, and warm weather. My cabin fever and wishes for Spring got the best of me and I went off the deep-end and decorated our mantle for Spring/Easter. I know what you're thinking...its still February...you are nuts?! At least that's what the look on Chris's face said when he came home to find me elbow deep in banners, Easter eggs, and gardening rocks. SO, without further adieu...I give you our Spring (even though its still Winter) mantle!

 I got everything for the mantle at the new drain on my bank account Hobby Lobby! Love Love Love that store! I could go on and on, but you just need to check it out for yourself...it has EVERYTHING. I am the worlds un-craftiest (is that a word?) girl ever, so I felt pretty cool making my candle holders. It's just a standard mason jar with garden rocks, and a candle. I know...you're blown away right? ;)

I'm going to add in more Easter stuff as the holiday gets closer, but for now it's making all this cold weather more tolerable.

Chris made it home safe and sound from Mexico! Laila and I were beyond happy to see him, and he brought Laila back the cutest wooden puzzles! I just had to share...they are so stinking adorable. They stay together as long as you hold them from the top, so they are going up as decoration in her room until she's big enough to play with them.

That's all for now from this cabin fevered, stir crazy, can't wait for my kiddo to feel back to normal, mommy. I'll leave you with this gem of a pic...Laila is clearly on the mend ;)
