Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth

This is Mr. Gonzales, Karen, Darren and Mrs. Gonzales.

Sunday after church we went to the wedding of Eric's youngest brother Darren and our new sister-in-law Karen. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather and a very sweet ceremony. We are excited to take Max and go back to the gardens to spend a day as it was sooo beautiful and reminded me of being back home in California. Here are a few pics

My Handyman Hubby

I found a great little chandelier light for the kitchen to replace the ugly builder light so I took a chance and bought it on clearance in the hopes that I could convince my hubby to put it up. Eric has never done electrical work before but he took the challenge and he is a STAR! He installed it Saturday with no fires or explosions and no injuries! I am so lucky to have such a sweet hubby who loves a challenge and who try anything at least once!

A Day at the Park With the Easter Bunny!

Max and Mr. Easter Bunny

Did I mention lately how much I love living in a small, quaint little town? The City of Roanoke put on a day at the little city park with the Easter Bunny. There were games, food, a train, bounce houses, and of course the main attraction! Max liked the Easter Bunny but I think he liked the cotton candy the best....just like his mommy!

Myt Latest Little Craft projects

I try to spend a little time each day doing something "crafty" because it is therapy for me. It makes me happy and gives me a peaceful feeling. These are some of my latest little projects. The chipboard letter "N" is just covered with scrapbook paper and some ribbon. This idea came from my friend Marji. She has an "A" in her house that she did and I have always loved it! The vinyl quote on the board was another quick little project. I love the quote and I painted the board my favorite green! I re-did the fireplace mantle with a smaller mirror and I already had everything else except the decorative metal finial on the right end. I got this on clearance at Hobby Lobby because it was a little scratched but it worked out perfectly for me to distress it and then add some antique stain to it. Finally, I did the grouping on the kitchen table. I found the glass apothecary jars at an estate sale for $1.00 and .50 cents each and I already had the fun things to fill them with. My friend Yvonne gave me the white ceramic rooster. None of these projects are anything spectacular but they were fun to put together!
