~Garden Goodness~

I recently participated in Em's Shabby Garden Mini Swap... how fun!

I don't have a massive beautiful garden, just a little one but I love it ♥

Em was the gal I sent to and I received goodies from Connie who doesn't have a blog but is such a sweetie.

Here is what I sent Em...

She loves turquoise which I found she also loves this aqua that I chose:)

Got her a cute Knee Cushion for when she's planting, a shabby chippy blue watering can, a gardening book, some cute garden gloves, some white sunflower seeds and cucumber seeds (as they grow veggies too), a cute watering can sign and a Mary Engelbriet garden stake...

Also found this sweet canvas banner that I thought looked shabby and springy!

Close up of the watering can sign, it says "Your Soul Shall be like a Well-Watered Garden" ♥ It!

Head to Em's blog to see these lovelies in her garden area HERE.

Here are the pretties that I received from my partner Connie :)

Love this welcome sign; its hanging on my front door right now!!

She also created this fun little Garden Girl pocket; the pocket is made from a jeans pocket!

A cute pair of gardening gloves and a little pot with seeds inside to plant;

Another package of seeds in the lil burlap bag; I'm putting in a new flower bed area in front of our porch and I"m gonna toss these seeds out there and be suprised with that blooms for me ♥

She also made me this sweet paper BLOOM banner to hang inside; what a cute idea!
Me being a dork, didn't think to MAKE her anything:(

L♥ve this lil Spring sign so much!!

Thanks for a fun swap Em and thanks to my partner for the goodies!

UPDATES:
1. We are ALMOST FINALLY done painting in the bedrooms; its taken us a WEEK to finish, whew!
We've been doing bits and pieces here and there. Hubby has hung new blinds in the rooms and curtains in ours. My mom is going to be making curtains for the boys rooms, can't wait!
Its all SLOWLY coming together, I CANNOT wait to show you all!!!
But I am gonna hold off till everything is complete to show you the before and after's!

2. After much thought, I've decided to not take ANY summer classes. My financial aid is still goofed up at the school and I'm just tired of the stress of school! I want to enjoy my summer with the boys, I feel its essential to spend more FUN time with them, and not worry about studying.
So I will be working about 8-10 hours at the home daycare and still doing my DOVE parties too; which means more time outside and at our FAVE pool too!

3. I'm considering changing my major! Crazy, I know!
This has been on my mind since my dad became sick.
I really want to get into the medical field!
I could complete a 1 or 2 year program then be working when Gage gets to Kdg. in 2-3 years.
The medical field is always growing and needing caring workers, I feel like this is where my heart is leading me. I am SCARED to DEATH to take all these medical and science classes but if its meant to be, I KNOW I can do it:)

.................................
Well, thats a WRAP!!

I'm off to clean house cause I'm having friends over tonite for a Pampered Chef Help Whip Cancer party!
Each May P.Chef has exclusive PINK products they offer in support of the American Cancer Society and its fight to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer!
I'll be sure to take some pics to post for you all as well :)

Have a WONDERFUL day!
Noelle ♥
