5 Random Things

There is lots going on all at once at my house but not one thing enough to write a post about.

I decided to show and tell you five random things I have been up to.

ONE...

I have been going fairy crazy lately, making fairy terrariums for gifts ever since I received a kit to make myself one for Christmas.

I plan on doing a tutorial post soon on how to make one, since they are easy and very cute. I have made five of them so far but I am going to show you the newest one I made for my sweet friend Lora for now.

It's a little hard to get a good picture but this little terrarium is a layered ecosystem all contained in a jar.

I also plan on making an outdoor fairy garden in a huge galvanized bucket I had filled with flowers last summer. There are so many cute houses and accessories available to make these sweet gardens and I have gotten most of mine at Michael's and JoAnn's.

I picked the house and fairy up recently at JoAnn's in anticipation of my garden. The Gnome I got at a new vintage store.

TWO...

We are making progress on our dining room (click to read my original post if you'd like).

Or I should say, my husband is making progress on our dining room. I have had a head cold/sinus infection for 3 weeks so it would not be good for me to be scraping wallpaper!

Two walls mostly done....

Still to do.....

Lots of furniture and stuff to move around with no where to put it! Still, the room feels so much bigger already!

THREE....

I saw this sign at a diner recently and knew I had to make one for our community theatre for the table we set our coffee and desserts on.

Theirs....

Mine....

FOUR...

I don't know where I saw this quote but I jotted it down on the back of a piece of mail. I just want to share it with you.

Life with Christ is

an endless hope:

Without Him

a hopeless end

FIVE....

At the end of last quarter we received this postcard from my son's high school counselor. He made the honor roll! He is a senior this year and we are busy planning his future!
