Because (I Think) I Can

I’ve been feeling like I’ve been talking a lot about “things” going on in life lately, but I haven’t had the chance to actually blog about them, as they are all random little things… so I figured I’d start this weekend by wrapping up some loose ends!!

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I was having a vendor table at our kid’s elementary school Ladies Night fundraiser.  It turned out to be an awesome event, great ladies and great vendors (and great sales too!).  And I remembered to take pictures of my vendor table, thanks to a comment from one of my readers (thanks Kelly!)  If you look close, you’ll get some sneak peaks of items that I haven’t blogged about yet, and some of them are still available for sale! 

My First Vendor Table!!

Do you see anything that catches your eye? Let me know!

I’ve also been mentioning the weather quite a bit… we actually had almost a couple of weeks straight of sunshine, and it feels like it has been forever since we’ve had that… because it HAS been forever!!  So we’ve been soaking it up!

A couple of weekends ago we went out to Harrison Hot Springs, which I’ve already told you all about, but I wanted a chance to show off my kids from our day at the beach!

this gorgeous little lady turns 1 next week!!! ONE!

Hubby and Anna

Jordan brings his bug catching equipment with him everywhere!!

Isn't she beautiful?!

oops. Am I allowed to put this online? Hubby didn't even notice this little slip till I pointed it out. Do you see it?!

I love this photo, beautiful 4-year-old Anna

awww, so handsome!

In the garden…

the lilacs are in bloom and our bush is full of them... unfortunately Jordan seems to be allergic to them, they had to be moved back outside.

And then it was Mother’s Day.  I had a fabulous weekend celebrating!  It began on Friday with a Mother’s Day Tea Party at Anna’s preschool…  absolutely adorable!

getting ready to perform!

adorable decorations...

adorable place settings made by our adorable children...

adorable snacks...

an adorable little lady who was just so proud!...

I couldn't resist taking a bite of the muffin before taking a picture!

Saturday was spent poolside at the in-laws (hubby and the kids dared to dive in!).  Sunday morning I was spoiled with Calla Lilies (my favorite) and – get this - Tin Snips!!  I was thrilled!  No more having to borrow when I make my magnetic boards!  We then grabbed some Tim Hortons and went to the river to watch the fish jump, and still made in time to Agassiz for church at my parents church.  We spent a beautiful sunny day with my side of the family.  Awesome.

In the meantime I’ve been working on some projects…

a special something for a special someone....

a few custom orders in the works...

and a little something in the works, but I can't say for what just yet!...

Shopping…

I've mentioned this on facebook, page, but not here yet... I am SO looking forward to this!! the best of the best will be vendors here, and I can't wait to dig through the treasures there, and also gain some inspiration for my own projects!

and today I fell in love… I have driven by this store a million times over the years, always wondering if it was worth taking the time to stop in there.  A friend recently recommended it to me, so today I dragged my 2 girls over there… and from the squeaky front door to the adorable back porch, I was smitten.  Creekside Country Home Decor is now at the top of my list for my favorite stores in town!

Well, I think that is about it!  I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and hopefully an extra day off?!

xo, Leanne
