For me it's a combination of what I see in magazines, blogs (lately) and shopping displays. I love to window shop, ok maybe occasionally buy ;) things at my favorite decorating shops. When I lived in MO, before my kiddos came along I would drive about an hour to do just this...get inspiration. Liberty, MO Sometimes I would try to recreate what I saw exactly. I may get lucky and have some of the items already. Then other times I would buys key pieces and add, or take away others depending on what I liked. Another thing I might do is to buy other items at discount stores on the way home. That was always my last stop. If I really like the twenty dollar silk geranium I know Hobby Lobby would have something much cheaper. Also, some of those shops would buy from chains like Michael's or HL and mark up the item for resale. Here's an example of what I created from a magazine. I've had this for years in my files of things I love.<br />

We opted to go out Saturday night to avoid the crowds. Little did I realize people were celebrating prom and graduation. It was still busy. My kids gave me a peaceful day (I asked for no fighting) They made cards, placemats and flowers at school. I enjoyed my crepe breakfast, which is starting to be a tradition.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I have decided to proceed with my blog name change. Keep in mind that my content will stay the same. I still like prims to some extent and for more than one reason cannot afford to change my home completely over to a new decorating style. I just feel like getting back to my roots of country. I love old things and antiques. That will probably never change. I'm not into all white or shabby. While I love pastels they just don't speak to me the way a good dose of color does. I find myself really loving the farmhouse look. I also love the nod to Vintage kitchens especially dishes and tableclothes. I do like white because it does such a great job of acting as a backdrop to my colorful accents. I love all my prim friends and I would hate to lose any followers. I do understand though. You can expect more recipes, antique finds and decorating on my new blog. <br />
<br />
Here's my new name and Blog address. I think the name fits and many of you agreed.<br />

I've been thinking for awhile now I would change my blog name. I'm trying to come up with something that says home (decorating) and baking goodies (especially pie). I find myself into prims less and less (sorry prim friends). I really want to stick to my country roots. So to celebrate and let you be a part of it I thought I would give you 3 options and then I will create a new facebook page around my blog too! I haven't forgotten about the give away. I will be doing that soon. Keep checking back!<br />

In a few days I will see what the most popular name is and choose a name. You'll have to change your bookmark and follow me at my new address as I will be closing this blog soon.<br />

I hope you had a blessed Easter. My kids were in the play at church for the sunrise service so our day began early. They did a great job! I'm so proud of them. We decided to go out for dinner this year. I've been under the weather for about the last two weeks and my hubby just didn't want me to have to work so hard. Usually, I insist but I decided that he was right. He said he'd be happier going out so I wouldn't have any stress. Isn't he the best :) <br />

Okay, one last thing I have been blogging for 2 years now. I started on April 23, 2009. It's been wonderful. I've enjoyed all your comments and getting to know people through their blogs. Soon I will be doing a give away to celebrate...so stay tuned. Also, I've been pondering a name change that reflects my blog better. So put on your thinking caps I will be asking for input from you. Don't worry I plan on staying with the same content no major changes...more decorating, homekeeping and baking. I will give you plenty of time to change over to my new address ahead of time.<br />
<br />
Springtime Blessings to you,<br />

It's the time of year we reflect on Christ's sacrifice for all of us. It's about renewal, rebirth and the promise of a new life.<br />

<strong>"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun." ~2 Cor. 5:17</strong><br />
<br />
Just like the new tulips emerging from the earth we can become new again. I think this is the most amazing part of God's love for us. <br />

Eggs, tradionally served during the season of Lent symbolizes the new life. Look around your yard and in your trees. Do you see new life everywhere? This is his promise to us that we will have new life.<br />

I used the never fail pie crust recipe that Alice gave me. This <a href="http://www.fastrecipes.com/recipe/never-fail-crisco-pie-crust-2009051722188/">one</a> is very similiar to her recipe. I had already made up a batch, so I just took it out of the freezer. I also used frozen blueberries, but you could use fresh. I prefer the fresh ones but sometimes they can be expensive. <br />

Recipe adapted from *Giada's Blueberry Marscapone Turnovers<br />
<br />
1/2 -3/4 cup of blueberries<br />
1/2 lemon juiced and zested <br />
1/2 tsp. cornstarch<br />
2 Tbsp. sugar or enough to cover berries<br />
1/2 cup marcapone cheese (look in dairy section or near deli)<br />
1 pie crust or store bought (I like Pillsbury)<br />
1 egg slightly beaten<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. I mixed the first 4 ingredients first. Then I let these sit on the counter for a few minutes. After a few minutes I added the cheese and folded it in carefully.<br />
<br />
After I mixed up my ingredients I rolled out my crust to 4-5 good size circles. Carefully spoon about 1 tbsp of your fruit mixture inside, use egg wash to seal edges and fold over and crimp edges if desired. Continue until you have used all the dough, I got about 9 small turnovers. Her recipe says it makes 12 but I didn't want to make them any thinner. Brush with a little bit more egg wash and sprinkle with sugar, cut a few slits in the top. Bake for about 15-20 min. until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving. The filling will be oozing out a little bit. <br />
<br />
*Hints: In the original recipe she fried them in the deep fryer. So as long as you made sure you had your deep fryer set at the right temp, her directions tell you to fry them for about 3 1/2 min. I prefered not to fry these since I didn't want to get out the fryer that early. I used a small pyrex bowl (little condiment size) to make my circles. My biscuit cutter was a little to small. It also helps if you flatten the circles slightly when you fill them. My first batch were pretty while my second batch was a little less uniform. They were still yummy though. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

It's been a crazy week. I've been under the weather for the last week. I have literally laid on my couch all weekend. Part of me feels a little guilty, the other not so much! <br />
<br />
So here's what we been doing in the mudroom, you might remember from an <a href="http://americangirlprimitivesnsuch.blogspot.com/2010/02/laundrymudroom-dilemma.html">earlier post</a> that our laundry/mudroom didn't function well together. So a few weeks ago my hubby finished the laundry room. This left a large hole in my mudroom, two of them to be exact. Next, we want to create some built in shelves/cubbies for our coats etc. I've been looking at several blogs and this website for inspiration. He is full of good ideas. In the meantime, we still have another whole month or so of school left so it has to function. I found 4 hooks at Meijer on sale for about $2 each and I spray painted them black. Then I plan on sewing up a little skirt to cover up my sink a little more. I saw some crates stacked up and thought I would use mine for the kids to put back packs and shoes in. I tried to make it look cute with the new soap from Bath and Body Works and ball jar with flowers. Whola!!<br />

Don't you just love an auction? I do except in the cold rain. I love the possibility of what you might find or come home with. Plus, usually they sell home baked goodies, and if you're lucky pie! <br />
<br />
We did manage to snag a few finds, but didn't hold out for the furniture. I managed to win the bid on these milk bottles. My hubby managed to win the bid on the chamber pots, which he later was stunned when he actually found out what they were for. LOL! One will be our new bathroom trashcan. We needed a replacement for our old one. I think this fits the bill. <br />

I'm so glad, for this is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. I have been thinking of a new post all week. I wanted to post a recipe. Instead I will share some old ones for I don't have any new pictures to share with you. Some of you new readers may have not seen these older posts. <br />

I had some bananas just sittting there going bad and I thought banana bread. I just love it anytime of year! Lo and behold there was a recipe on my bag of flour. Here's <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/banana-bread/51427396-6764-4b0a-a73a-78c683c703d2">the link</a> if you want to give it a try. My family loved it. It made two loaves so I made one without nuts for my hubby. Everyone really liked it!<br />

The kids are on Spring break this week so we went down to Cincinatti for the day. My husband suggested that we go to <a href="http://www.junglejims.com/">Jungle Jim's</a> and it was so neat. I think we spent over two hours there. Let me just say I'm a self-confessed Foodie and I was in food heaven! Whew...cheese, butter, sauces, wine, Le Crueset, Italian, German, any kind of food and they have it. It started as a roadside stand believe it or not. You can read about it <a href="http://www.junglejims.com/">here. </a> We bought the kids some cheese, candy, and a little glass bottled old fashioned soda. My hubby bought some aged cheddar (his favorite) I bought chocolate, Irish butter, and some wine a gift for my MIL. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Close-up of the flooring, Vinyl (Honey Oak)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't want to go with real wood because let's face it, it's a laundry room. We have had some issues with water in the past when it rains extremely hard. We have worked to resolve that but I would rather not ruin the floor just put down. We have some Pergo in another area of the basement. It's expensive and it could be ruined by water. We bought this at Lowe's and it comes in strips. It has some texture to it so I think it fools you by walking on it too. For now it's functional but not too decorative. We still need trim but it will function for awhile. Here's my dream list that will have wait:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">*an old/new cabinet (to hid my cleaning essentials inside)</div><div style="text-align: center;">*Shelf (for Laundry soap)</div><div style="text-align: center;">*a folding table or cabinet</div><div style="text-align: center;">*shelves to display my vintage laundry things</div><div style="text-align: center;">*wicker lined baskets with cute fabric for kids clothes</div><div style="text-align: center;">*drying rack</div><div style="text-align: center;">*cute accessories (framed prints, signs or old soap boxes, irons)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe someday it will be a little less plain and look like these;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Easter is later and Spring seems far away with snow in the forecast but I've always been an optimist. <br />
<br />
This year I wanted to display my german paper mache' eggs in a slightly different way than a basket. So this is what I came up with. I bought the bunny ages ago at Hallmark and the other things I already had on hand. I added the flower pots, nest, flameless candles, and some grapevine with forsynthias mixed in. Whatcha think?<br />

I've been a busy little bee...this weekend we worked on the basement. Then my husband got sick Sunday and we had a full day. The kids and I carried on and went to church and the wedding without him. He is feeling better today. <br />
<br />
This is my spring break from school. I am determined to Spring clean this week and finish the laundry room. Here's a sneak peek at it. You have to remember what it used to look like when we moved in...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPO7y1huNj1Cg_JckZ1idyUunS1s-rwtbi0wY7XIFIW3mW7mkzyzCbiRJC7a2OJBp9kzhPh8T-biyXQaROjJNTBVWUJOBGW3vP13RPQVzju1Gjk4_Ammj7w4f-bvnZfjh8XMC6RAgFcv-R/s1600/hidden+hills++%252835%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPO7y1huNj1Cg_JckZ1idyUunS1s-rwtbi0wY7XIFIW3mW7mkzyzCbiRJC7a2OJBp9kzhPh8T-biyXQaROjJNTBVWUJOBGW3vP13RPQVzju1Gjk4_Ammj7w4f-bvnZfjh8XMC6RAgFcv-R/s320/hidden+hills++%252835%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This wall you see on the right is now a new room wall for my laundry room. The nook is a little area that includes under our stairs and is my new lil' tote storage room, not finished. Maybe if I'm brave I'll show you that too, when you see my totes you may think I'm officially crazy though :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Over on the left (looking into the doorway) is where my washer and dryer will go. We opted for a dropped ceiling, a little lower than we hoped due to duct work. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSvbnGOnEomGIh-2OD4odN-UoIIx5e3NNt3wFIof0V5QRo4hDVquOiYUjS0HtEOUinDjw9GrXRDIPhT50rJJjomt-3yJA60N7mDLJPbOnqXmi39TtOtuvrmidAUtsch1yfFfGeeeGg3p8r/s1600/IMG_0269.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSvbnGOnEomGIh-2OD4odN-UoIIx5e3NNt3wFIof0V5QRo4hDVquOiYUjS0HtEOUinDjw9GrXRDIPhT50rJJjomt-3yJA60N7mDLJPbOnqXmi39TtOtuvrmidAUtsch1yfFfGeeeGg3p8r/s320/IMG_0269.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">It measures 14' 6" X 12' 6", almost identical to my dining room.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTudSptfGJBHgESgZtyd8hQXfQx7FOcdS48RJleeXF6Hj0n7lNtXjJA5fAd0bksfQ-ltZVbjPTDq_52Z79vClAFPnVpAEcl0-XIAmVkX3SNUxkOnw9PKO7sPl8EkXCcz2YXr3J_MtSSo8T/s1600/IMG_0271.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTudSptfGJBHgESgZtyd8hQXfQx7FOcdS48RJleeXF6Hj0n7lNtXjJA5fAd0bksfQ-ltZVbjPTDq_52Z79vClAFPnVpAEcl0-XIAmVkX3SNUxkOnw9PKO7sPl8EkXCcz2YXr3J_MtSSo8T/s320/IMG_0271.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This is the view from inside the room. Excuse the mess...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The paint is Clean White from Waverly and we bought a vinyl wood-looking floor, a honey color. It looks like planks and even has texture. I have big plans for this room, a table/folding area, shelves to display vintage shoe strechers, laundry room decor, a rolling cart. I'd love to have a new washer and dryer but that's not in the cards right now. We had almost all the building materials so except for the ceiling, floor and paint + my hubby doing all the work it has been very inexpensive. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I deep cleaned our family room and I just couldn't resist the urge to do a little Spring decorating. Here's a sneak peek. Tomorrow bathrooms..ugh! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ok, I know I'm fudging a bit but I'm hoping that the inside will soon be reflective of the outside. Here's what I would love to know if you could put anything in your laundry room what would it be? I'd love to hear some ideas and tell me what you're up to this week. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
