Goodbye Journal For Sam

My cute lil bro just finished his last round of Chemo earlier this month so of course we had to have a big party!! (more to come on that later) He's also moving to a land far, far away called New York City! I wanted to send a lil something with him that was motivational and would make him feel good. So I made a "Goodbye Journal" for him. I was lucky to find a cool Journal that had fabric on it so all I had to do was embellish it. Pretty cute eh?

I cut some felt into squares and sewed them together then I hot glued the squares onto the Journal. Next I took a Scrapbook "S" (for Sam) and added it in the middle of the squares.
I had some scrapbook embellishments that I thought fit perfectly with his new life and glued them on too!! I love it and so did he!!

Egg Salad Sangwiches!!

I love a good egg salad sandwich. Especially @ Easter time. So we had em for dinner Sunday!! Yummy!! I used this recipe from Brown Eyed Baker and it was sooo good.

Mr. Lawley even helped. He cut up all the ingredients while I peeled eggs and took pics.

The finished product.
Mr. Lawley had his sandwich on 12 grain bread.
And I had mine on a yummy wheat pita.
I highly recommend this recipe! Happy Easter!

I've been a huge blog slacker lately... I've been in a weird funk, I've been crafting but for some strange reason not taking pictures to show off!!

I did come up with this cute little Easter craft all by myself!! I took some super cute pink fabric and hot glued it to an old magnet board. Then I outlined a egg on the fabric to help me, cuz we all know i need all the help i can get. Then I cut ribbon 1 1/2-2 inches long and folded them in half and hot glued them really close to each other. It was a great way to use up some of my ribbon odds and ends!! I love the way it turned out!!




And I'm working on some special projects for a BIG party for my brother... details to come!!
