The Inspiration Board: creative party spotlight ~142~

Has anyone else noticed that February is almost over? This school year is going by so quickly. It’s my son’s high school senior year and it’s definitely whizzing by way too fast. He’ll be off to college before I know it. Sniff, sniff. For all you new moms out there, I know it’s cliché, but it goes by so quickly.

Thank you everyone for stopping by this week and sharing your amazing talent here at homework. I truly appreciate every visit, comment and shared link. If you didn’t have a chance to stop in this week, here’s what I shared.

Triplet-Tote-TutorialThe DIY Dreamer shares a tutorial for a sweet Triplet Tote. Perfect to organize your “on-the-go” items like a laptop, notebook and other goodies.

Lamp-MakeoverWonderful dumpster lamp makeover by Virginia Sweet Pea. Love the on-trend metallic base and paisley lamp shade.

paper dolls spreadPA Country Crafts created the sweetest little “quiet book” with fabric paper dolls and little outfits. This would keep any little girl quiet for hours – ok maybe not hours but for a good amount of time.

Beautiful Mardi Gras Crown Dessert by the extremely talented Hungry Happenings. These pastry crusts shaped into crowns and filled with bananas foster, a traditional New Orleans treat, are definitely fit for a king (or queen)!

Chair and Vanity Makeover[7]The Silly Pearl adds a bit of glam to these chairs. The warm silver chair tops add shimmer and something extra special to this makeover. Oh, how I’m loving metallics right now!

Go for the gold 1A beautiful Olympic themed card by It’s Always Ruetten. Everything about this card is so clean and subtle. The patriotic chevron, the United States map and gold lettering all work beautifully together.

Paint Dipped Starbucks Frappuccino Bottles 4That’s a lot of frappuccino bottles! The Concrete Cottage has been saving these bottles and put them to good use. Paint dipped bottoms in yummy pastels create fantastic storage in a stylish way!
