Springtime in Utah

So far spring time in Utah has consisted of
  • Finishing up basketball and winning the city league CHAMPIONSHIP! 
  • Me beating Brett in march madness
  • Brett hitting some bombs with his new softball bat
  • Multiple rained out softball games and a softball game played in a downpour
  • A few sunny days in which we enjoyed being outside in the fresh air
  • General Conference
  • An attempt to bike to Utah lake for a picnic
  • Finding a new promising fishing spot for Brett
  • Rooting for the Blazers
  • Brett finishing finals for the semester
  • Spring time crafts
The only thing I have pictures of are the crafts.  I got tired of the gloomy weather and decided to add some Spring decor to our home and my office at work.  I decorated a little around the house with the few plastic Easter eggs we have.


I made a spring wreath for our front door using some scrap fabric, pearl stick things I had left over from decorating for our wedding reception and a plain wreath.
 


 I also transformed a picture frame I picked up from DI into a dry erase board for my office.  I wanted a frame with a little more character, but couldn't find one so I settled for this.  I painted the frame, covered the picture in fabric, made the flowers and put it all back together.  The glass part of the frame works perfect as a dry erase board.  Its up in my office now with a quote on it that I can change out as I desire.


It sure made a mess in our house but it was fun to get my craft stuff out and make some cute things to encourage Spring to get here already!

Your wreath turned out great! I have a whole list of wreaths to copy from cute blogs. Also, I've been waiting for a place to put a dry erase board with the same concept. Right now our little apartment has no place for it, but sometime it will become part of our home!

I too love your wreath and board. I love those twisted fabric flowers, but I have yet to make one. I really like the look of yours. So...when are you moving down to AZ so we can craft? :)
