Gorgeous Swan with Red Rose

I saved this gorgeous image of a swan with a red rose just the other day from the Graphics Fairy. I thought it was indeed worthy of a card. I am joining Brag Monday at the Graphics Fairy. Just click to see all other the other wonderful things made with Karen's graphics.

Have a great day.

Spring

 

It seems as if Spring has finally arrived. I wanted to make a pretty card. Here is my spring bunny with his lovely flower hat. Have a wonderful day.

Hutch for the Kitchen

 

Here is my new hutch for the kitchen. I finally found a piece of furniture the right size and the right price for my kitchen. It is going to sit on the outside wall between the stove and the fridge. This is how it looked before I picked it up. It looked very sad and unloved. It needs some TLC, a bath, some primer, paint, new hardware and possibly some of that paintable wallpaper for behind the shelves. The only thing that I will have to move for this to fit between the appliances is the microwave; I want the microwave to sit above my stove anyway.

I have been looking for the right hutch for months. I wanted to have a hutch so that I can keep my tea things right beside the stove. I have room for the cat food, cat treats and paper products underneath and I will be able to display some of my lovely things on the shelves which are carefully tucked away at the moment. This was the start to my week. I will take pictures as I go along so that you can see the metamorphosis. Have a great day.

Love Always,

Kim

Happy Easter Bunny

I just made this picture to hang beside my breakfast table. I made it the size of an 8.5 " x 11.5" sheet of card stock. I have already sent my Easter card which is in my last post but I think I will make a copy of this to take to my mother-in-law. I love the bunny and the chicks and the basket of pink and white chrysanthemums. So pretty for Easter.
I am joining Beverly for Pink Saturday. Hop on over to see more pink, more Easter and more Spring. Have a lovely Easter weekend and I hope that the sun is shining wherever you are.

Love Always,

Kim

The Bunny jumped over the Egg

Here is my Easter card for this year. Easter is not far off now. We are still in the midst of winter. There is snow on the ground and we are lucky if the temperature gets to the zero mark. I love to bake when Easter arrives. My favourite thing to bake was Hot Cross buns. The kids are in their own homes and so there is only me to eat them now. I think this is one year I might let the tradition slide. 

I haven't seen the bunnies outside lately as it has been too cold. The starlings are back though starting their nest for this year's babies. I hope this is a sign that "Spring" is on its way.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Love Always,

Kim
