Candy Tree

Ok serious sweet tooth warning here! This thing is loaded with yummy stuff. I took Hershey's Kissables, M&M minis, & Skittles all in the snack size packs and made this fabulous Easter candy tree For Thomas for Easter. He is going to get this instead of a basket this year. I also wired in a bunch of hot-wheels cars into the tree. On the bottom filling the flower pot is bite size 3 musketeers bars and a set of easter Thomas the train die-casts as well as some other small toys. It only took about 3 hours to make and it was so much fun. That included making the bows and ribbons. OK so here is a tiny sneak peek of the Next NDISB Mega scrap kit. There is much much more. It is so fabulous.

The Big 30

I had been looking forward to turning 30 for a little while. Ready to venture into the next stage of life. If you asked me at 18 what I would be like and doing at 30 things would be vastly different than they are now. It's funny how time, wisdom and Life in general changes your view on things and rearranges your priorities. I am at peace with myself finally for the 1st time in years. I have forgiven myself of past mistakes and am ready to embrace life as a whole. It's funny how not so long ago 30 was old, but now I feel like I am just beginning. And as if I didn't need a sign that all is well in life, this is what I saw yesterday out my kitchen window. I had to go grab my camera and run and snap a couple pictures. Thomas still has an awful cough, but he finished his antibiotics, and his fever and wheezing are gone, so evidently he is getting better. Thanks you all so much for your well wishes.
