Easter Craft Weekend, $75

Since Easter falls on a Sunday, that weekend is open EVERY year. So, we did some brainstorming and came up with a plan. INSTEAD of staying through Sunday, how about coming EARLIER and leaving on Saturday...at a discounted price!! Longer time + Less money = HAPPY EASTER! We would like to invite you to arrive on Wed (Apr 4) and stay through Sat (Apr 7) for the price of $900!!! Don't let this pass you by, call your friends, then email us at shannon@maplememories.com!! ;)  Craft your heart out, doing whatever you want for 4 days and 3 nights for only $75 a person (with a group of 12)!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Breakfast at our house this morning!  The kids said, "It's like we're at Perkins!" HA!

Sports Medal Holders

I found these beauties at a garage sale...

I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with them when I bought them. The man collecting the money turned to my kids and said, "Do one of you like teddy bears!?" I held my breath (not having the heart to tell him that I was going to paint right over those little bears), when my 10-year old daughter politely said, "I do." I love her.

After a coat of paint, I realized it might have been best to prime first (I did with the second one).  Thank goodness chalkboard paint is black...it covered those teddy bears right up.  Tada!

My son now has a place to display his sports medals AND a chalkboard for important messages.  I love the quote that's on it now, but I also like that we can change it to fit the latest stage in his life (or simply say GOOD LUCK on game day!). 

I made the other one for my daughter's room. It is still in need of a good quote. Any suggestions?
