Feeling Springy!

 Mar 21, 2011

Hi there! I'm back from spring break, all refreshed and tan and ready for action. Just kidding, I'm never tan. But I am ready for action! And I want to say a big fat THANK YOU to everyone who voted for me in the Circle of Moms Top 25 Blog contest! Today is the last day to vote, soooooo ... if you would be a dear:


You are the best, you know that?

So Spring has sprung and what says that better than a fabulous yard makeover? Christy's house used to have a bit of a blah front yard and was also being eaten alive by shrubbery. Who knew there were such great arched windows underneath those testicular trees? I can't imagine what the view from inside was like. Probably lots of leaves and branches. So I guess it isn't that hard to imagine.

She removed the offensive bushes, extended the flower beds (so pretty!), added a flagstone path in place of the plain ol' sidewalk and lightened up the siding and trim with fresh paint. So much better! Check out more pics on her blog BeachBrights. Thanks Christy!

Oh, and that house looks FAB after the testicles, I mean bushes were gone. GREAT transformation!

Now THAT is change I can believe in! Good on you for having the vision--and the courage--to make those remarkable changes! Such talent. I am SO jealous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation!

Ha! Couldn't help but laugh when you said testicular bushes. :)

That is quite a change. I was waiting for you to say that she added stone or even added onto the house. Crazy that someone would cover up such a cute house!
