April Top Five

Happy Friday everyone!  And Happy May!  Closing out April today with a quick recap of my top five projects for the month.

One -- Updated Lyla's room with this gilded arrow.  Love it with her big gold heart!  Super easy tutorial here.

Two -- I made these yummy lemon bars to celebrate the warmth and sunshine.  You can go here for the recipe.

Three -- My blue and white Spring tablescape.  We used it as our Easter table this year.  More details here.

Four -- I made these for adorable egg nest brownies for Easter and they were a huge hit.  Thank you Carolina Charm for sharing the amazingly, cute recipe.

Five -- My simple Spring mantel.  Can you tell that I love yellow!  It's such a cheerful color and just makes me happy!  It has definitely been my go to color lately.

*Also linking up with the five on Friday group...Darci, Natasha, Christina, & April.  Hop over and see what they are up to.


Have a fantastic weekend!

Our Patio Set + $550 Amazon Giftcard Giveaway

Hi there! Last Spring we searched several stores for patio furniture and had a really hard time finding a set that fit both our style and budget.  I shop a lot online with Amazon and I'm always amazed at the amount of stuff they carry.  They have nearly everything, including this patio set.  We've had it a year now and still love it! 

So, how does a chance to win a $550 Amazon.com giftcard for you to shop with sound?
