and.... guess what else is going on?

I've got a *NEW* vintage shop on etsy!

it's called: Give Grandma Sugar .

my grandma passed away a few years ago, and was the sweetest southern grandma you could ever hope for!  she would always say to us "come over and give grandma sugar" when she wanted a kiss from us.  she grew up in tennessee and had such a hard life as a little child.  she had moved so many times she told me once she didn't even know how many different schools she'd gone to.  regardless of her hard childhood...she grew up to be a fabulous grandma!

i decided to get rid of my paper cut shop and start my own vintage shop along with my handmade shop

www.etsy.com/shop/chinamommy

So stop on by and let me know what you think, or better yet, stop by and buy everything!!

Ok, I will keep the give-away open until 8 tonight, then i'll pick a winner!!!

Good Luck and thank you for entering!!

Spring has Sprung...

Is it true?  Spring might really be here? 

 I'm not packing away my winter clothes yet, my heat came on this morning and you never know if good ol' Michigan is going to snow just 1 more time! But... We're close!  This is day #3 of dress wearing by my darling!  This is a girl who says EVERY morning "i don't care what you pick out as long as it's jeans!"  I love jeans too, but... this is my ONLY child, obviously- a girl, and I want to dress her cute before she's 13 and wants to wear who knows what by 2017 (when she turns into a teen!).  She made some deal with me Sunday that if I let her pick out what she wore to Church on Sunday she'd wear dresses for 3 days in a row- you know i was IN!!
  I can't believe Easter is this Sunday!!  Now, I don't believe Easter is  about candy and bunnies but I do love the decorations and I've eaten almost all of the
Cadbury Mini Eggs
that are for DD's Easter basket...

Speaking of decorations... I just ran downstairs to see if I could find mine... NOPE!

While I was looking I found some paper mache eggs I bought at Michaels a few weeks ago.  I'm going to do something with those today and post a DIY tomorrow!!  Yep, I'm feeling inspired!
So grab some fake eggs, and some mod podge, then tune in tomorrow!!
Here are a couple mixed media pieces I have
FOR SALE

These little Easter Bucket Babies are available in my etsy store
(see link above).
Do you decorate for Easter?  Any special decorations or traditions?
Have a great day & we'll chat Thursday!!
