today i would love for you to come over to the craft weekend blog to see ALL of our totally RAD and extremely generous sponsors.
my chores today are to *get a few more groceries (including the ingredients to make Corn Salad) *pick up the house because my family from australia is coming for dinner!
have a lovely day today.
*********************************** my kids are off of school next thursday! june is FULL of camps and swim team and softball so i am pretty sure we'll stay busy enough.
so last night while my little girls played croquet and i drank my coffee, then i zoomed in…..and got a little carried away with detailed pictures. enjoy.
"Don't you think that daisies are the friendliest flower?" and then i went to play croquet.
i am out the door to run with my iPod, the wheat fields and the sunshine. who's ridiculous idea was this 10K anyways??? oh yeah….mine. hmmm. its only 17 days away…. ugh.
happy tuesday to ya!
p.s. i used my only lens….24-70 at f/3.5.
These photos are gorgeous! Daisies are my favorite flower 🙂 Love me some Daisies! I can’t believe youre summerholiday starts in a week! My children (we live in The netherlands) finish school on the 7th of JULY!! They go back on the 27th of august, when are your children go back to school? I love the shot of the one that is about to open up. You’ve Got Mail makes me so happy 🙂 Those pictures make me want to go and watercolor! I have one week of school left and then my fun begins! Ahhh to try and stay focused until then! Daisies are the BEST!! I need some in my garden. Might have to take care of that this weekend. Thanks! Thanks for sharing those pictures! Made me realize just how beautiful everyday things are that we all tend to overlook. God is awesome! i love that you used that quote – only of my FAV movies of all time! Amazeballs!!! Your photos are just amazing! I am so in love with them! You’ve mentioned before that the 24-70 is your only lens. Do you find it’s weight to be an issue? I love that lens, but I always hesitate to bring it with me on vacations and long day trips because of the weight. Kathleen Kelly would have loved these pics! Made me smile to see that quote…love that movie! I love daisies! These are so pretty! My son is SO ready for school to be over. I think he has 3 weeks left…he is not too excited about that at all. You always have the best post timing. My mom passed away this year and mothers day was rocky, but her fav flower was the daisy and you just put an amazing smile on my face 😉 I am so looking forward to summer. THings slow down quite a bit for us in the summer and I am looking forward to that!! I hope your last week of school is a peaceful one for you. I love that movie 🙂 I love love love your pictures… it was because of some sunflowers pics you posted last year that I started following your blog! I now I love you too! You are an inspiration to many! Love the beautiful pictures! This is why I love your blog! Just a simple daisy… makes me so happy thank you. We have 4.5 days left…I am ready to be done with those homework days…quiet time, not so much. I want your lens. :)And you talent…that would be good too. 🙂 I’m seeing a canvas of one of these shots in the craft house.. 🙂 Our last day of classes is 10 days from today but we have the kids for an entire school week after that so we’re coming up with theme days( making homemade ice cream, treasure hunt,etc…) I cant believe its almost “summer vacation.” Hard to believe it but I survived my first year back of teaching! I adore, You’ve Got Mail… and daisies! LOVELY PICS:) I really like your blog and I want to follow..do you have twitter or FB?? Beware of the last week of school. we get out this week and everyone is on edge….sending the whole crew off to my mama as soon as they are done. If they survive….. Love it! My favorite quote from my favorite movie about my favorite flower … perfect! I think we have 11 more days of school here in WV … summer is fastly approaching … I sure hope it slows down & stays a while 🙂 Happy happy daisies and one of my favorite quotes! Do you have any of these prints available for purchase somewhere? My dining room could really use some sprucing up, and daisies are my favorite flower! Kathleen Kelly 🙂 I’ve told you before about how my full name is Kathleen. My wedding flower is a daisy. I’d really like to open up a children’s bookstore. I’m pretty sure that movie is about me 🙂 Can’t wait to see your summer list! So pretty. And I totally thought of Kathleen Kelly when you said daisies! Are you making your summer list?! Please share! I need ideas. My daughter is off in 3 weeks. Yikes! If I could, I’d send you a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils… beautiful pictures!! my very favorite flower! As I looked at these daisy pictures, all I could think was, “Wow. God is awesome.” Love you, love your daisy pictures, and love all of my backyard daisies! I think you have your subject for your next day of drawing/painting! Those close-up daisy photos are glorious – and look at the design in the center of them! Love daisies and You’ve Got Mail. Amazing photos!! I can’t believe you’re a mother of 5 kids and are still way more motivated than this 22-year old student to go for a run. Lesson learned. 🙂 i use one lens, the one that came with my camera. I figure until I learn to use my camera, I will save my money. I love that movie. Funny thing, I was just moving a candle from my kitchen to my coffee table, and I thought about Kathleen, and how she always moved her vase of flowers to the room she was in. I do that with my candle. Have a great run. i just did squats. I stop and do them throughout the day. Daisies are such a simplistic joy 🙂 Wow, only seven days! This school year flew by!! You’ve Got Mail is my favorite movie!! They are the friendliest flower!! Beautiful pics!! Gorgeous photos! I’m going to run out and buy some daisies right now! Oh wait, I’m in my pajamas (CA girl)…I guess I’ll go in an hour! Thanks for all of your colorful inspiration! Run Meg, Run! I love these!!! So pretty!!! So pretty! brightens up my rainy UK day… what Lens are you using for these close ups? x

i am saying hello with lisa leonard today. how was your weekend?
I miss your blog Laura!! Ever going to come back? 🙁 Those notes from your kids are precious! yours looks about as awesome as ours! love the campfire time. not enough hours in our day for the fire but the kids are still hounding us – i think this weekend might be the time. I’m completely in LOVE with that table!! Can we please see the whole thing? 🙂 Also, how cute are the snail paintings. Which reminds me, we need to stock up on paint for some summer art projects.. 🙂 I love that they know your favorite book is the Bible. You’re obviously doing something right with those fab kids of yours 🙂 Yes indeed Hello! 🙂 Hello Meg!!! Your new favorite picture is now my new favorite picture. I am loving that cow nose!! What an amazing weekend! Your photography is wonderful! who cares that your daughter thinks your favorite thing to wear is sweats. . she knows your favorite book is the Bible. . .that says volumes. . .you are giving her a picture of a mom who loves Jesus. . go MOM! Please tell me you’ll put your “new favorite photo” in your shop?! That is perfect for my office. Oh I want to see more of that table!! Fun sounding weekend. I hope your mom’s day was GREAT!!! “Her favorite television show is: Everything” Hello … you are so my fave … I love that the rainbow table is at your house (that was fast! 😉 Hello All of You…. Love your weekend and your friendly snails!!! And your life in the country!!! Very beautiful crafts and I love the notes about moms. Great weekend! I love the spotty cow noses. Thanks for sharing. LOVE that you took 14 year old boys to all-you-can-eat Mongolian Grill. Genius! I will have to remember that in 9 years ~ ha! So fun. That little cow snout/muzzle/nose sure is cute….a Happy Belated Mother’s Day to you! ahhhh your kids are so sweet! totally made me emotional. Your weekend sounds perfect. Mine was the same. It included an amazing barn sale, lots of family time, sewing and crafting the heck out of my fingers for our school’s production of the Little Red Hen(I’m directing AND in charge of costumes and set). I made the little red hen’s apron using your craft weekend ruffled aprons as the inspiration. I’ll send you a link once we’re past all the stress of production and practices. HELLO to my lovely bloggy friend!!! I am in LOVE with all of the cow photos! I don’t suppose you’ve thought about selling them…because I would definitely buy! 🙂 The baby bunny picture is precious! My Mother’s Day was leisurely…I scored Season One of Downton Abbey and a Barnes and Noble gift card! You bought the table!! Love it. Is it weird that I took pictures of cows in Germany 15 minutes ago and now here I am seeing that we are both into cows. Ha. I miss you. hello to still being my very favorite blog girl! just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me everyday. When I saw the “Few things I know about her” questionare above it made me smile because my son (who is 6) did one similar to that in Sunday school yesterday. When it came to “My mom’s favorite thing to do is” he wrote “clean the house”!! Thought that was so funny! Ah, from a kid’s perspective… Looks like you had the most perfect weekend ever! P.S. your Annie Bananie should meet my Shannie Bananie 🙂 Even better than your favorite thing to wear being sweats, is your favorite food being “salid” (I’m skeptical!) and your favorite TV show being “everything!” Your pictures make me want to live on a farm…and I’m not exactly the farm type of gal! Lovin those cows! I love your cow-neighbors! Reminds me of my grandparent’s dairy farm 🙂 Looks like you had a great weekend and a fun Mother’s Day! I love the cows!!!!!!!!! I also really enjoyed Annie and Talby’s stuff about you! They’re so sweet!! Mine was great, I got engaged on Saturday!! EEEEEEE!!! Lol!! Now I just gotta figure out a good middle spot between KS and Indiana. Boo. lol Annie sounds exactly like my little girly! 🙂 I just love this post. Love all the pics! My favorite is cow #132’s nose. Its cute! 🙂 Those Cows!! I need to sign them up for a photo shoot! We had a yardsale and made $180 for vacation spending money, then to the Art Star Craft Bazaar with my oldest son (8) and my sister at Penns Landing in Philly on a beautiful day. Sunday we had breakfast at our favorite diner, kids gave me a photograph I love of the skyline in Philadelphia and then off to watch my (8yr old) son, finish his spring soccer undefeated 9-0-1 with cupcakes, juice and trophies. Wonderful Weekend, happy mother’s day to all. Sounds like you had a great weekend! My sister had a baby this weekend so mine was awesome!
scott turned fourteen. my baby. sometimes it physically hurts to realize how fast they grow up.
he chose bbq chicken sandwiches….we used garlic bread like when we eat at Roys BBQ.
after dinner he opened his gifts. talby gave him some of her things she felt he would enjoy. i love to watch them GIVE.
SIZE 12!!
he willingly played croquet with his siblings. and let me hug on him and take pictures…. then my little girls jumped in…. they played blokus while i got out the cake. scott chose angel food cake and cool whip….what a sweet boy.
he gives hugs. i like him. 🙂 happy birthday scott.
what a handsome young man he is! your family is so beautiful and i think you’re an awesome mom!! the strawberries look sooo yummy too! Happy Birthday! My oldest turns 21 in a few weeks, HUH? When did he (and I) get so old? He just graduated from Hesston (KS) College and we were there last weekend for the ceremony…all the way from Virginia. I think I saw your family at Applebee’s on Friday night and may have seen Scott at the pizza place in Hesston at Sunday lunch. I refrained from saying anything because that would just be weird. Oh Meg! Thanks for putting me in tears once again! My boy Happy Birthday Scott! I hate watching my kids get older, but it is made more bearable by the fact that I do like who they are turning out to be! yep. actual chest pains. what a sweet boy and what a lovely and lucky mama you are! i have two wee boys and this post made me teary to think of them turning 14!!! time is flying and i can’t take it!!! enjoy it mama! Cool Whip–Just taste it!!! HAHAHA!!! Love Mad Men. agh. My Heart Is Smiling. Is it just me or is Sean’s hair WAY darker than it used to be? I thought it used to be more of a dark blonde…? Weird to pick up on, I know, but it’s what I was thinking as I looked through all the lovely photos in this post! And may Scott “stay forever young”. brings tears to my eyes… my son will be 11 in june – he reminds me of your son except with baseball – sweetest boy ever! i like him too! I love this. So sweet. I hope my kids let me take pictures with them when they are 14! Happy birthday wishes to Scott! That looks like my kind of meal he requested for his birthday dinner. Love Velveeta Mac and Cheese 🙂 HANDSOME! I forgot to take a pic with my kids on their birthday 🙁 luckily, today is perfect too 😉 He sounds awesome! He sounds like one really awesome kid & he’s quite handsome too!!! I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth! Love it! Love all the It is so sweet how he acts towards his little sisters!! Happy birthday Scott! Happy Birthday! Oh Meg, My fourteen year old son is two inches taller (pushing three) with size 12 mens shoes, and loving basketball too. It is so nice that we are enjoying our sweet eighth grade boys. Scott seems like such an awesome kid. Love your family, your stories and your photos. Have a great weekend. Um…hello…he’s a CLONE of Mr. Duerksen! 🙂 I have puddles in my eyes! what a beautiful celebration! loved all the pics of those sweet kids…. Gosh I must be reading your blog FOREVER because I am amazed at how big your kids are getting. I know you don’t need reminding of this. Enjoy every minute. They are adorable. 🙂 Great photos of you and your birthday boy! Made me cry. I love your family. Happy Birthday Scott!!! Oh, Meg. Such a beautiful young man! He reminds me of our David (who is on his way home after finishing his SOPHOMORE year at Gonzaga! Yes, the time flies!). He has those deep, sweet, open eyes that speak integrity. That’ll teach me to correct others! I questioned my spelling just as I hit “post” then looked it up . . . Haha, I loved his menu choices! My boys always pick the funniest things for their birthdays, too. You are SUCH a good mama Meg. Rock Chalk!! Sweet birthday tribute to your young man. I love that picture of you two with the big smile. Such a treasure. A son. can Scott hang with Jack….???? Awe! Happy Birthday Scott! My oldest is eight, and the thought of her turning 14 makes me want to crawl in bed and cry. i hope i have that same relationship with my Wilder (WilMan). So precious to read this. i loved it. Happy b-day Scott! You have a great bunch of munchkins there. How sweet are they?! Have fun tonight. My oldest (a boy) turned 14 in February, wears size 12 shoe and is two inches taller than me – six feet tall. I agree it goes too fast! His sport happens to be soccer – all of the time! Happy Birthday to Scott! It is great to see older siblings being so kind and gracious to the younger ones. 🙂 Happy birthday, Scott! My daughter, my baby, is turning 16 next week. Kids grow up too fast! Makes me cry and he’s yours! They do grow too fast! The first pic of you two made me tear, beautiful! My baby turns 17 next month and we went looking at colleges over Spring Break (his sister is already in college). I get teary-eyed looking at their baby photos but I really enjoy them as they are now too…more interesting. Not fourteen. No. Not fourteen. I hate the guts out of how fast they grow up. But you are growing a good one. Happy Birthday to your biggest boy. Oh Meg! They do grow up so fast! It hurts my heart to think about! My oldest will be 15 this summer and my baby will be 7! He looks like such a sweet one! I HATE with a passion how fast they grow up. It just slips away 🙁 Don’t they just grow up too fast. My oldest turned 14 this year, too. I cannot believe how fast it goes. These pictures are priceless. Such a sweet boy. Good job, Momma! This is so sweet, he is a handsome boy. You have such a beautiful family, a beautiful life. Really really blessed. Happy Birthday Scott! Happy Birthday! What a great party! Made me tear up to see Annie give her tokens and photos…and that Scott so graciously received them:-) What a sweet tribute. He sounds like a great kid. Size 12 and two inches taller than you… Wow! I’m learning too just how fast they grow up and its not cool!:(
a few days late….but i finally got the craft weekend post up!
Is there a way I should check to see if I am still on the wait list? Cuz I watch them go by and wonder how long the list must be to be not called up yet having been put on the list when the first one went down? (Big giant pout!!) :0) i’m pretty sure i met your husband tonight at an open house we had at my work…i was going to ask him if he was married to you and then gush about your blog but i decided not to bug him. i was pretty sure i would embarrass myself somehow! 🙂 i was just telling my hubs how jels i was of craft weekend. he thinks i should go. well, maybe i will be so lucky one day! love the aprons + great pic 🙂 Those aprons are BEYOND cute!! I have to tell you that I went to Barely Making It Antiques while visiting my sister in Wichita! I guess I just missed your crafting crew by a day! The ladies there were SOOOOOO sweet! They were kind enough to open the shop just for my sis and I…… and then gave my crying two year old a book for the ride home! Loved it! I love reading your craft weekend posts, Meg. This is a great calling for you! Ha! I was just wondering if you made a new apron each time. 🙂

I will follow 🙂 Whoop Whoop-Instagram! The icon at the top right that is a teardrop makes it blur with various effects. For either one, you can manipulate the blur. I.E., for the straight line, you can twist it to suit your desired effect. I use two fingers on the screen to turn it. Also, the circle one can be shrunk or expanded. My fav instagram effect. Have fun! I’m fairly new to it too @shannonaphotography. I am traveling internationally for work and my iphone doesn’t work. The thing is miss the most is Instagram!

Check out all the cool things you can do with Instagram on Pinterest. I also agree with the Diptic app … tons of fun! p.s. one word Printstagram. instagram addict here, it takes cooler pics than my camera, I have it on my ipod touch, so no monthly bills.

I already spotted you on instagram this weekend! How fun! I’m @ellejfendy! I use snapseed for additional editing, framestastic for collages and phonto to add text to my pictures. It’s fun having a little editing “suite” on your phone! 🙂 i started following you on instagram this weekend. i had to get my craft weekend fix! i’m @callherhappy! also, some tips: it is fun to use other photo editing apps combined together to get funky looks and then upload them to instgram! I have been pondering instagram. I see it all over facebook. I may have to check it out. I love instagram! I am @lifemadejoyful. I saw your two pics – and they were wonderful – thanks to kimberlee’s tip off that you were on ig. Welcome – but beware of the ig addiction! Yay for getting you on instagram!

Welcome! Just signed up with Instagram myself, and uhh, I’m clueless! I totally fail as a 24 year old. Instagram is awesome! I was so excited when they made an app for Androids:) My name is hannahlynnlesley:) Oh Meg, I’m right there with ya! I hardly ever use Twitter and I’ve recently joined instagram as well. I have 4 pictures on there and my only follower so far is my daughter. I don’t quite understand it yet, I’m hoping it will flow with use….ya know? …and to be quite honest, I’m getting to the point where I’m over facebook. Yay! I’m so glad you are on there now! I am on there too @faithfulcitymouse. The best part of being on Instagram is being able to see what your friends/family/blog love is doing and their fab pictures. You can also tag your friends/followers so they can see what you are capturing or writing. I hope you will follow me too! 🙂 i also just recently joined instagram, but mostly so i could take those cool little square pic’s with the different borders and grainy vintage effects i keep seeing all over blog land, and maybe even print off some photo strips i see everywhere….but what am i actually supposed to ‘do’ with instagram……i have yet to figure that out! i’ll be following the comments closely, maybe someone out there can shed some light! I am on instagram and LOVE it. (@stephanieshep) So fun. : ) I love instagram!! I’m at @amandajwagner. Can’t wait to see your pix! Can’t wait to see photos and sorry I wasn’t able to join you fabulous crafty ladies (this time) I DID remodel my kitchen and paint my whole hall/stairwell/kitchen/dining room this weekend though so I’m with you on the exhaustion front but also completely blissed out about my new, fresh space! I love instagram! I will definetely add you! I’m “jadiecakes” on instagram. I’ve been trying out twitter but still don’t get it! I have Instagram. 🙂 I am @katyapicello Glad the wknd went well. I too am on instagram although relatively new to actually using it. I am roddfam5. I now have to google, how to grow my own peonies. Sleep in Sweets, we’ll wait, craft weekend pics are always worth it:) Happy Monday. I am also on Instragram..but clueless too!! I need to learn. I imagine the feeling after CW is like that of being a kid and the fun sleepover is…….Over. 🙁 You must be tired too after all your hard work! Can’t wait to see pics :).
swag waiting for the guests. peonies from the garden.
all the supplies ready to go. photos of all our past guests. :)
mike & ikes!!! my favorite….but i am worried there won't be enough. daisies from the front yard. rearranging a bit in the READ room. happy yellow quilt in the gray room…with the "new" lamp. it's all so happy at the craft house.
craft weekend is so rad.
Hi Julie. i am pretty sure it was semi gloss paint wall from wal mart a few years ago. Hi Meg. Could I trouble you to tell me what type of paint was used on the scrolled mirror on the kitchen wall? My mom had the exact mirror in our childhood home (gold finish) and I inherited this year. Would love to give it a fresh look. Thank you! Christina Basri – He’s a cutie patootie! Such a lock of hair and the full lips! But I’m beaisd..cause I’m his Nana!! My favourite is the pose with him in a, I think, green knitted slipper?Lailah, once again, great pictures! .helps to have an almost purrrrfect model, my grandson, lol!All the best,Model’s Nana Meg, you seem to bring happiness rainbows wherever you go. Your life is inspiring. Someday I hope to be able to come to a craft weekend. It looks amazing. I am in love with all the color! And ideas for a retreat in the pre pre planning stages! Now off to the paint store! Have a happy day! Meg…thank you for loving color – and for sharing those colors with us. I always just “oooohhh” and “ahhhh” whenever I look at your photos. Then, I share them on my Facebook page! : ) Your CW is on my wish list!! Looks like a total blast. When I saw the pics from your CW posts I said I want to be there… and soon I will… ahhhhh i love your craft house. As always…………LOVE! I hope you plan on having these for awhile…someday when I am done having babies then I can come, but I wont be for awhile so you cant be done with these for awhile 🙂 K? I am being a copy cat. I bought my FIRST globe at a yard sale this weekend. Can’t wait to put it in my kitchen! I love yours and hope mine look half that cute!! Beautiful photos, Meg. So glad it went well! I love the fact that you have pics up from past craft weekends. Happy Day! how do you get to come to a craft weekend? where is this lottery? looks SO deliciously fun! What a cheery space you have created—lot’s of inspiration and good times! Do you “accept” drop-in’s:)??? I want to come!! So jealous of your amaaaaaazing flowers. *sigh* I’m always in awe of the effort put into Craft Weekend. Love it! So fun! And so much color! I love all of those quilts!! Your house looks so cute and craft weekend sounds wonderful. I am wondering where you purchased the Rise and Shine print? We sing that song every day with prayers since my now 11 year old was 3. His brother is now in the same preschool and loves the song too. Strange, I know, that we sing it at night. But when your 3 year old makes a request like that, you do it. Now it’s just a nice tradition. I would love to hang a picture like that in our home. you are living my dream, friend! Love what you are doing here, with the craft weekends! Wish it was closer (I live in switzerland) to me, but I’m enjoying your posts before and after the weekends, thanks for sharing them! oh maaaannn!! Happiness, colourfulness, gorgeousness, craftiness, stunningness, Megness. All those photos and yummy colors make my heart hurt that I can not sign up for a craft weekend this year. They look like sooooo much fun! Maybe next year! Oh my! I love these pictures … they make me swoon! Your house is so comfortable and HAPPY! How do you get an invite to the craft weekend? Love how the lamp turned out, and I like the polkadot curtains with the grey ruffle – so cute! Can’t wait to see the projects. We had your margaritas with our lunch yesterday for cinco de mayo! Hubby and I decided we should do that more often on a random Saturday, made the yard work a lot more fun! Hope you girls have loads of fun? I was wondering where you got the “Rise and Sign, give God the Glory” picture, I would love to have that in my house. Thank you! Love the peonies!!! I vote for a Craft Weekend Alumni weekend!
