ObliviaSwan

I was reading some user reviews of something on Dollar Tree's website and found this hilarious lady  - ObliviaSwan - I quite enjoyed reading her reviews :P  I Google searched her user name and couldn't find anything on her, but maybe she'll do a search for herself and find this post!

 

these are some of my favorites:

 

Decorative Faux Fruit

"This comes with a big fat lemon, two non-identical apples, a lime, a yellow washing machine agitator, a buttered-up dinner roll and I think the fuzzy greenish brown thing must be the faux. Though made of petroleum and petroleum by-product they do, as advertised, have a certain charm. They don't really make you hungry or anything else unpleasant. And they float even better than "real" fruit. Not for the tempermental."

 

Decorative Accent Grapes

"Uh huh, they are a tad smallish. But they are VERY realistic looking, so just hold them a little closer. They seem to get along quite well with the faux and fruit assortment. The individual grapes can be removed and then suction-stuck to your face like a mole or wart. I'm wearing several now and adding more as I type. You can too."

 

I think I will be on the look out for more reviews from ObliviaSwan when I need a good chuckle.

Sunday dinner

everyone came over for Easter again this year since we couldn't go anywhere yet.  we did dinner this time instead of our usual lunch.  it makes getting ready for it a lot easier since we have the day to prep instead of just a couple of hours in the morning.  we were pretty tired by the end of the day, though!

I did pickled beet eggs again, made my first Tres Leches cake, and some bunny cars.  the food was awesome and I forgot to get a pic!  everyone brought something yummy and Matt made a roast on his new grill.

Leo had just been wearing shirts while in his cast, but I wanted him to look fully clothed in our Easter pics (not that most of them turned out at all!) so I altered some of my old shorts for him with some Velcro along the sides.  I at least got some pics of the boys together.

 

for only $5 I made a new spring wreath with stuff I had and a few new things from Dollar Tree.  I'm limited on my errand running now so since I didn't see any ribbon at the Dollar Tree I just made some from paper towel rolls that I painted brown.  since most of the weight is on one side I added a small clear Command hook at the bottom of the wreath so it hung correctly and not all skewed to one side.  keeps it from swinging on the wreath hook or banging against the door when it's opened and closed, too.

I did another contact paper cut out for the door.  I was afraid my design would be too difficult to put on, but it went on without too much fuss.  I'm really liking my Silhouette cutter more and more :)

I got a Butterfly in a Jar forever ago and sorta forgot about it.  Leo loves it so I have to sneak it away from him to put out on the porch.
