May is one of my favorite months in Washington. All the trees are blossoming, the sun is out often, there is a bit of a cool breeze in the air and all the grass is green!! To top it off, every year there is the May Day giveaway from Sew, Mama, Sew!! This is my third year participating and it seems like every year gets better!! I can't wait to browse all the lovely blogs!!
This year I'll be giving away some lovely Sugar and Spice laminate from Riley Blake. This week-end we up-cycled a vintage stool that I had found at a thrift store and for the cushion, we covered it with the red floral laminate!! I just love how you can wipe all those little dirty smudges from the wee ones!! Easy as one, two, three!!
The pretty laminates~
I love how the step stool turns up into the stool!! For the steps, we first painted them aqua and then covered them with foil and painted the rest!! A lovely tip I found on pinterest!!
There are many other creative things you could do with laminate, such as making a pretty tote bag, or cover table tops. You could also use it for making aprons, diaper bags, or for covering chairs!!So...would you like to win some lovely laminate!?! Here is all you have to do~
The giveaway will be open till Thursday May 26th, and I'll announce the giveaway winner soon after!

ReplyDeleteI'm back in Malaysia since 1984 but what I remember about spring is when we have outings with the girl scouts. I still remember (not the details) one year, my mum and I went to a play in town and we had a meal there. It was wet but I just love that memory. I wish we could have a way to make the full memory come out. I want to see the whole thing play out again.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about spring is sitting in the garden, drinking tea and enjoying all the flowers starting to come out around me. I just love being outside again after a long winter trapped indoors!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about spring is getting out and about more (trips to the park, picnics, watching the kids play) before it gets sweltering hot or too buggy, however we have had nothing but rain here lately, and it is really putting a damper on our fun. But we are still enjoying those little breaks when we can!
