Color my front door....

I wanted to get something different this Easter for my front door. I kept looking around not really finding anything that I had to have until I saw this egg wreath at Target. It was small but I loved the brightly colored eggs and I knew that I could add something to it and make it bigger and better. I did hear that Target does have bigger egg wreaths but I never did see them at mine. My wreath was only about 10 bucks. Fun little carrot bunch that I got a Pier One. I think it was suppose to be an ornamnet. I think it us super cute!!! I think it was $2-3
I added a grapevine wreath that I spray painted blue. I made a mistake when Paint shopping. I got the blue thinking it was the blue color that was actually the teal color that was in the wreath. Not a problem I popped off 3 of the eggs that were white and I spray painted them too so it all matched.
Problem Solved!!!

Cute little banner that I made. I used some glitter carstock from American crafts in a blue-teal color. I just handcut the triangles for the banner. You need a front and back triangle for each letter if you can see your wreath from the other side like I can on mine. Glue the triangles front and backs on a cord or sting to form the banner. I embellished mine with ribbon trim, alpha stickers and brads. I used hot glue to adhere the banner. The ribbon trim and brads are from Doodlebug. Letter sticks are from American Crafts and are made out of vinyl. I used hot glue and used floral wire to hold it all togehter.


Happy Easter and Crafting!!!

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way!!!

Easter snuck up on me this year. I didn't really have much crafty time to work on anything handmade for Easter. Spent last week with Tia and her family and we are in Baseball mode in my house. If you have a child that plays Baseball you know the routine....work/school, ball field, sleep and do it all again the next day. LOL!!!
I did manage to get some Easter happiness in my home before Easter got here. One of my favorite things that I have is this old tin ceiling tile that is on my mantle. I tied a little Easter wreath on it with the ribbon that it came with. I picked up the wreath at Joann's and it was super cheap. I really liked the natural look of it with the muted colors and the moss. I switched out the shamrock's that was in the Apothecary jar for St Patrick's Day for some grass and an Easter Egg.
I love the bunny. I bought it 2 months ago when Michael's got their Easter Decor in. I ♥ it and had to have him in my home.
These candle holders are always on my dining room table. They are from Signature Home. I love the bottoms filled with grass and a few eggs in each.

Quick Arrangement that I did for my front door. I love the mix of spring wildflowers, forsythia and grasses. I got the bucket from Tia back in the day when she sold Southern Living. I added some eggs to skewers for Easter.
Happy Easter!!!!
Andrea & Tia
