New planter

I saw this on pinterest a few weeks ago and just love it!  Isn't this just the cutest,  Polka dotted tiered planter! She has a great tutorial on how to make it.  I started mine several weeks ago and decided today was the day to finish mine.  I went with carolina blue and white for my colors.  I totally love the way it came out.  Here are a few of my pictures.

 Before the polka dots.  Making sure I liked the way they lined up.

 Before the flowers.

 After the flowers.  I love it! The rest of the pictures I took just to play with my new camera.  It had a cool feature where I can pick the color it picks up.  I was having fun!

Finally my view from the stop if the stairs!

Lovely Springtime

This spring I think I've gotten some really great shots of flowers.  My personal favorite are the ones I took in Asheville over Easter of red dogwood trees.  Before this year I didn't know there was such a thing as a red dogwood tree.  I thought there were just white ones and pink ones.  When we were driving to Asheville I kept noticing Dogwood trees that were so hot pink and I couldn't figure why the pink Dogwoods in Asheville were so much brighter and gorgeous than the ones at home.  Later my Mamaw Banks told me the really bright pink ones are red dogwood trees.  So here are a few of my favorites.  

Friday! Yay!

It's Friday again!  Yay, the best day of the week.  Here's my top five things from this week.
1.  I learned there are 3 kinds of Dogwood trees and by far the most beautiful ones are red Dogwoods.  I didn't know there was such a thing, but in Asheville they have Dogwoods that are like hot pink (my favorite of course!).  At first I couldn't figure out why the pink trees were so much brighter than the ones at home until my Mamaw Banks told me they are red.  Of course I had to take pictures of them.  Here are a few of my favs.  I took lots and lots.

2.  Easter in Asheville!  I got to see my cousins and share a wonderful meal with my family.  It's the first time since Christmas that we've all been together.  We dyed Easter eggs with Kola my 4 yr old cousin which was super fun!

3.  For my students in TASL I made cupcakes!  They were really cute Sunday night when I made them.  Then by Monday morning all the "handles" had broken.  They were still yummy though, rainbow chip is the best!  Hopefully the ones I made for today's TASL will stay together.

4.  Wedding fun with the bestest! This week Rachel had her last dress fitting and I had a very important part in that :) Learning to do the bustle (sp?) It's going to be soo hard, but I think I can handle it!  We also finished stuffing wedding invites!  Let me tell you they are the cutest most fun wedding invites I've seen!  They have a mad-lib, oh yes!

5.  It's baseball season!  I love the Braves.  Now that Chipper is back, we're going to do great and win the world series.

Top ten

This week I've been more active on pinterest, or maybe I've just seen tons of pins this week that I just absolutely loved!  So I have some great pins to pick from this week.  Check out my pinterest I'd love to have a new follower :) 

That being said here are my favorite things from this week.

Chipper! Pinned, here

Chipper Jones is retiring after this season. He is my favorite baseball player ever!  I remember going to my first Braves game the summer before 4th grade and Chipper was playing.  He's been my fav ever since.  Go Braves!

I've made this twice!  It's so good!

A corner of your house and funny

A corner of my house. I call it the cat corner it's where all the cats come around for a snack at night so I rarely get to see them.

Funny
This is Buddy the dog. He is funny. He likes to eat tomatoes from the garden and gum balls from trees. He is also a very jealous dog he does NOT like for me to visit my other neighbors dog TIp tip and pepper the toy poodles that live on the other side of my house. Buddy knows he's my favorite

Sunglasses

Today was perfect weather. I did some crafting outside. Here's part of my wreath and my sunglasses.

High Five for Friday

This week has been great!
I wanted to share some of the greatness of my week so I've linked up with From My Grey Desk for

These are my 5 favorite things from this week.
1.  Yesterday was pancake day!  That should really be 5 things right there!  Only the best day of the year!  I ate way too many pancakes and it was lovely.
2.  All my tulips are blooming.  Tulips make me happy!
3.  I got to spend some times with both my best friends bonding over pancakes :)
4.  I finally cleaned my room.  It's much nicer to have my space be clean and organized (well kind of organized).
5.  The weather!  It's been amazing!

Clouds

Today I waited too long to take my picture so all the clouds were gone.  I'll try again tomorrow but here's the cloudless sunset today

 But my tulips are looking quite good!  I just love having them!

A smile-a doggy smile

Today I had a lazy day with the best best friend anyone could ask for which made me smile. But the pictures is of Cooper the day we went to the park while I was house sitting. I think he looks to be smiling.

Your Neighborhood

Day 3 and I'm still posting a picture.  Yay me!  Hopefully I can actually continue and finish this photo a day.  Something big was going down in my neighborhood today.  I'm not sure what it was but there were quite a few cars.

Springtime trees

Lately everyday when I go to school I drive by these trees that are beautifully in bloom.  I just wanted to share a picture that I took of them one day.  I love these pink trees they always seem to brighten my day.
