We started out visiting Mr.OHM's sister(about an hour away), who throws crazy Easter hunts every year..i am very curious to see how she tops herself next year..her facebook says 'new cars for everyone!'..i wish! :)
Here's my loot, i LOVE it!
We stayed to have a nice lunch and some yummy cakepops(holy cow, i am sooo in love with cakepops now!!) and then we headed off for another 2.5 hour drive to my cousins house. The drive was fantastic, very scenic! We were there to visit my extended family that i hadn't seen in almost 3 years(at my grama's funeral). I wasn't sure what to expect because the last time i'd seen them my husband hadn't left and my aunt wasn't dying of cancer, and they hadn't met Mr.OHM yet, and it was also back when my sister and i were speaking... But it all went VERY well and i was glad i got to see them all. Here's the candle i decorated for my aunt(i also made one for my mom):
Now onto today! I was really sad that i had to pass up my advance passes to Hoodwinked 2..But it was really nice to make it out to see some friends at the market for knitting, coffee/tea, and dutch fritters. Here's a shot of the table, specifically in front of me..NOM! (in case you knit or wonder..i am making a 'lacy baktus'(a neat shawl) out of alpaca wool)
After that, i decided to go and check out 2 of the local thrift shops..and here are some really cute sheets i grabbed for my daughters..yes the one is Paul Frank(Hero is gonna FLIP!)
I did get a couple other cool things, but alas no pics..sorry!
Well, that's it for now. Hope you all are having a fantastic Easter weekend! Please feel free to share what you're up to in the comment section! :)
