Memories


My Grandpa and Grandma had this swing set I spent countless hours swing on.   It was very basic.  Two swings and a teeter toter.  The seats were made out of wood.  I loved pulling up to Grandma and Grandpas house seeing the willow tree swaying in the breeze, the old barn and box car we loved to play on, the canal to cool our feet off in and the swing set!  It was a paradise to me.

When I found these pictures on Kiki and Polly, it reminded me of my childhood visits to Grandma and Grandpas.  My Grandpa passed away this last week.  I have been thinking a lot about my time with Grandpa and Grandma.  They are both gone now.  I can't wait to see them again someday.  For now, I can hold on to all my wonderful memories.

Custom Easter Headbands



I had so much fun doing this project.  These headbands are for two of the cutest little girls I know. I can't wait to see them in their Easter dresses with these headbands as their accessory.

Spring Boutique Recap


I was a bit sad to wake up to rain, but the day turned out to be pretty nice.  My sister in-law Erin was nice to let me do this boutique at her house.  I thought it turned out really great.  Her house is darling. It was a fun place to set my stuff up in.  Not to mention her super cute bike we put out front!  



Here are some of the goodies people took home.  



Thank you so much to all who came!!  I hope you are all enjoying your purchases.  If you didn't make it to the boutique and still need Easter or Mothers Day gifts, I have a few things left over.  You can call me @ 801-644-6664 or e-mail me @ ngmcconkie@hotmail.com.  I am sure I can hook you up with the perfect gift.

365 Odds and Ends Swap Giveaway


My Cultivate friends and I have been planning a spring swap.  It seams like everyone is in the mood to de-cluter their homes and bring in something fresh at this time of year.  We decided to call our swap "the 365 swap" because of this yard sale we all hope to go to some day.  It is 365 miles long.  We bring things to the swap that we may still love but no longer use.



We put together a super fun creative atmosphere with lots of yummy food.  Add good company and who wouldn't want to come? These are photos of the first annual 356 swap last fall.

This swap is invite only, but... we thought we would give 5 lucky people the chance to come.  All you have to do is leave a comment on our Cultivate blog.  The swap is Thursday, May 5th.  You must enter the contest by midnight Wednesday, April 20th.  The winner will be announced on April 21st.   Go HERE to enter the contest!  Best wishes swap lovers.
