My neighbor had a flower arrangement sent to her house for Mother’s Day. She was not home at the time, so the florist left it with me. It was so striking that I decided to see if I couldn’t duplicate the idea! Her’s was made with mini carnations in different colors, but I found these daisies and mums at Costo and decided to give it a try!
I have a really fun idea to share with you today…it is this fun hanging flower stand!
I want to wish all you beautiful mothers out there a very Happy Mothers Day!
I hope that you all know how wonderful you are and the work that you do as a mother never goes unnoticed!
Mothers are the heart of every home and I hope that today you will get a hug from all those that call you mom! If not, then do what I do… and just steal one! :)
Pass this on to the one that you call mom!
Since I have been spending a bit of time out in my yard, I decided that I would do a thought about gardens! :) I have had this thought up in my office for awhile, but decided that it needed to be prettied up a bit. So here is my new version:
This quote is by Marcus Tullius Cicero.
I actually printed this out and put in a frame so I can now replace my old version with this new fun bright version!
I love planting flowers and I actually went with my dad yesterday to a nursery and we both got a couple of flats of flowers! His are to plant along his driveway, mine are to plant some more pots! I love planting pots…because you don’t have to weed them! :) I will take pictures when I get all of my pots planted.
The part about this saying that I have not done well with… is the library part. I have plenty of books to read, I just cannot seem to get to them! I love to read, but it is a luxury that I just cannot seem to find the time to do anymore. If I read for 20-30 minutes every morning, that is about all I get in! SOMEDAY…I will read more again!
Hope you all have a great Thursday!
I have some Spring Blossoms from my yard to share with you today. Some of these have already faded and are gone, but they were so beautiful while they lasted!

Yesterday I got to meet Kristi from I Should Be Mopping the Floor! I do a guest post once a month for her blog, so I felt like I knew her already! If you have never visited her site you are missing out, she has some great ideas and beautiful pictures! Take a minute and check it out!
She is in Utah for a blogging conference close to my home, so we made arrangements to get together for a short time.
She was so sweet and I felt like she could be my sister (although she would be a younger sister!). She has helped me a great deal with my blog and is so willing to share her information on things that I can do to improve. But she is also just a kind, fun, sweet person to be around and the time went by way too quick!
We were able to visit while we made a stop at Gygi’s, one of my favorite places to visit. I got some lemon flavored chocolate that I want to try out really soon… think lemon dipped strawberries for Mother’s Day! After that stop we went over to the Blue Lemon for lunch, another one of my favorite places to eat. So I gave Kristi a very short tour of a couple of my favorite places in SLC.
I had a wonderful time and I am so glad that I got to meet her! Thanks Kristi! :)
After I let her off to go back to her blogging conference, I made a little detour over to Trader Joe’s since I was so close, I could not pass up the opportunity to just go over there and browse and do a little shopping. Of course, I bought some of their flowers, just because… and I brought them home and arranged them.
I love the bright yellows and purple is this fun arrangement! I got the yellow mason jar at Steinmart and have just been waiting to put a fun floral arrangement in it! It is amazing how happy a bunch of flowers for $5.99 can make this girl! :)
So I got to spend the day with a great friend, we had good food, did a little shopping and flowers to top it all off. I would say that this was pretty much a perfect day!
I hope that you get to spend a perfect day with someone you love real soon!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Today I am here with a really fun project for spring. I am going to show you how to plant a birdcage! I love to plant pots and planters and I look for fun unique planters all year long. This birdcage is just from Michael’s so it was an easy find, but you can use old buckets, watering cans, old coal buckets, or just about anything that will hold dirt! You just have be sure there are holes in the bottom for the drainage. So rusted out buckets are great! :)
All of the plants that I used in this planter are perennials, so they are really okay for me to put this outside, here in Utah! If you are using annuals, you will want to keep your planter indoors until the weather is warm all of the time, unless of course, you already live where it is warm!
This a post that I posted a couple of weeks ago over at I Should Be Mopping the Floor, but wanted to share it with you here!
Well, I think that it is officially Spring here. Well, maybe not officially, but it is snowing or raining one day and beautiful sunshine the next, so isn’t that the definition of spring? I love when the flowers start popping out of the ground and there is hope of the warmer weather coming. But, sometimes I just cannot wait for it to come, so I decided to bring it in a little bit earlier with my Spring in a bottle(s)!
I was over at one of my best friends’ house the other day and she had these flowers that were in full bloom! They looked so gorgeous out in her yard… this one plant in full color out in her yard. So I went back a couple of days later and took this picture.
Doesn’t this just make you happy?!
I loved these flowers so much that I went and bought one for my yard. The color that I got, the flowers start out more of a greenish color then the blossoms turn to white. I am going to get a couple of more and I am hoping to find this beautiful yellow and pink one!
They are called Hellabores and they are a perennial, they bloom in the spring and they like the shade.
It snowed here a couple of days ago and I was out planting my plant the next day in the nice warm sunshine!

Today I have a super simple wood project!
I have been wanting a coco-cola sign for out on my potting table on my back patio, I know that it is still winter here in Utah, but I am already getting spring fever and with the few warm days that we have had lately my “fever” is getting even higher!
