Paper SpRiNg Wreath...


Pursuit Of Craftyness made this CUTE wreath outta paper.  I am more of a 3-D person...so I would probably add more to this....BUT it's still a-dor-a-ble!  Just click on these photos for a more enlarged picture.  This looks SOOOOO much cuter up-close & personal!  You can even see the scalloped edges!  She includes a mini-tutorial on her blog as well.

Darn Grocery Bags...

Where do we put them?? U Create featured an idea posted on Make It & Love It. The gals over there came up with a tutorial for a way to store your grocery bags. This is MUCH more pleasing to the eye than my current solution. So I, along with most of you who have already seen this idea, believe I may need to make this my next project as well!!

Do 'Er Yerself....Puppy Toy!!

U Create featured a NO-SEW way to make a dog toy! This caught my eye because our little Yorkie LOVES to play tug-of-war! He will bring a toy....any toy...over to us and keep trying to lay it in our limp hand(s) until we grab onto the other end! He then emits a low growl and begins to pull on the other side. So funny and endearing! This craft also seems quite budget-friendly....and OOOHHHH...how we love that!

Wait...Is St. Patrick's Day OVER??

Oops...I forgot to post these back in MARCH!!! These were the "LUCK" blocks that are now lovingly packed away for another year. I am still not crazy about the embellishments...but HEY....a year can pass and when I pull them out again NEXT year...I am sure I will have even more ideas on how to add some "bling-bling!"

Future Ideas For My Home....


One of my FAVORITE vinyl companies is "It's A Sign." They have a blog where customers send in pics of what the vinyl looks like AFTER being put up in their homes. I loved two of the pictures....The overall decorating style was darling....so I am bookmarking my two favorites for the world to see. What do you think? Someone's got some stylin' sense!

A "CREEPY-CRAWLY" Night of Fun!!


Homemaking Fun came up with a fun way for her & her children to spend the night together. She put together a "BUG" themed night! From creepy-crawly yummy snacks, to a bug art project, and then ending with watching The Ant Bully....it sounded like such fun! She even created labels for the drinks...that said "BUG JUICE" and made awards for the finished art projects. (She gives you the link for that...) Thanks for providing us for ideas to keep the youngsters entertained and happy! :)

Days of the Week Tags...Part 2

Flipflops & Applesauce wrote a post about THIS find. I did one a while back....but I liked the bright colors that Living Locurto used. This is an idea she came up with to keep her son organized and ready for school. They pick out clothes for each day of the week and hang them on a low rack for him to reach. She designed some cute tags to hang on each outfit. Each tag has the day of the week....read the rest of her post for another cute idea that they do the night before....with the clothes. She also has the tags in pastel colors.

The NEWEST Candle Addition....

...to our house!
The house is ALL ready for a brand-new owner...and right before we had a "walk-thru"...I decided I needed to spice up our candles in the kitchen...so I added some neutral colors that went with the color scheme. I didn't want to compete with the GORGEOUS flowers my hubby just gave me or the cute "Spring" blocks in our window sill....and THIS is the result! We both really like it.
