Happy Monday!!!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!! I had a wonderful weekend. I got to spend it listening to our prophet, apostles and church leaders in General Conference. I always love this time when I get to listen to them. I felt the spirit so strong and felt a renewed energy to move on with somethings in my life. To learn more about my religion go HERE.
Also the trees and flowers really started blooming!! I LOVE this SPRING time of year! So refreshing!!!
On Friday I became a FREE WOMAN again....as in I now have a car again!!! For almost over a year we have only had one car. We are poor college students so we sold our Audi to my sister and brother in law and have only had one since then. We decided over this last week that with gas prices hiking like they are it would be cheaper in the long run to get a cheap commuter car for Dave to take to work and school. We have a Land Rover Discovery that we absolutely LOVE, but it does not get the best gas milage. We have been spending over $350.00 a month on gas alone for it. Dave has to fill it once a week sometimes two. OUCH!! So it was time. We found a VW Passat for a great deal and gets very good gas mileage! We just couldn't pass up this deal so we bought it!!
I just love it!! Too bad I am not going to be driving it very much! That's ok! I am just happy to be able to go places when I need do without having to call others to drive me around!

Thanks for letting me tell you a little about my weekend!! How about we get to day's Fun craft!!
I had to make something fun and cute for Spring. So I did!!! I made a board that say's Spring Has Sprung! Here is what it looks like:
Isn't it so fun?!? My amazing hubby cut out the birds for me in wood. I Love how they turned out!! Here is a close up of both of them:
I cover both birds with scrapbook paper. I just mod podged it on. I also made the flower from paper and used wire for the stem.
I love how it turned out!!

I loooove Spring! Winter is depressing to me! I can't imagine being without a car. Seriously. I. would. DIE. I cannot stand being cooped up in the house and I often just go to the store to get out!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on gas prices! Even with my little sedan, we are still spending a ton on gas each week.
