Little Craft: valentine twig arrows

Here’s a sweet little project that your little crafters can make for Valentine’s Day.

GOOD TASTE: Homemade Vanilla Extract & Free Printable Labels

Friends, I can't tell you how long making Homemade Vanilla Extract has been on my to-do list. I've been wanting to do this for years. 

GOOD TASTE: Candied Citrus Peel

Making candied citrus peel has been on my list for the longest time.

CELEBRATIONS: Crepe Paper & Feather Easter Eggs

I thought I'd reshare this pretty Easter Egg project from a few years ago. It's still one of my favorite egg projects. Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see more egg crafts from year's past.

GOOD TASTE: Hawaiian Fruit Tea

 

I picked up this Hawaiian Fruit Tea at the Farmer's Market today. There's actually no tea leaves in it. It's all fruit; Pineapple, Apricot, Peach, Papaya, Cranberry, Hibiscus with Passion Fruit, Mango and Peach. 

CELEBRATIONS: Cinco de Mayo Succulent Cans

It's almost Cinco de Mayo friends! In honor of the Mexican holiday which is widely celebrated here in Southern California, I whipped up some fun Salsa Can Succulents and decorated them with some diy papel picado flags.

GOOD TASTE: Leftover Candy Cane Sugar Cubes

I’m resharing this post from a few years ago because it’s such a handy after-the-holidays idea if you happen to have leftover candy canes.

UPCYCLING: K-Cup Holiday Gnomes

For my birthday this past summer I got a Keurig Coffee Machine and I have to say, it’s my new bestie. I love how easy it is to make a cup of coffee whenever I want one without wasting a whole pot of coffee. How spoiled are we that we can press a button and voila – a fresh cup of coffee. There is a little bit of guilt with each cup when I throw away that little plastic K-Cup. Uggh. I was determined to come up with an idea to recycle some of the K-Cups. The light bulb went off one day because I’ve also been wanting to make some gnomes for the holiday season.

INKLING: Birch Gift Tags–Free Printable

It’s game time friends. And since the holiday shopping frenzy is about to start I made these pretty birch gift tags and I wanted to share them with you so we can all get a head start on our holiday prep. The free printable is at the bottom of this post.

CELEBRATIONS: Cork & Feather Place Cards

The entertaining season is upon us friends! Time to spruce up the house and get ahead of the curve.

GOOD TASTE: Easy Coconut Blueberry Granita

Making granita has been on my to-do list for the longest time. One of the biggest problems is deciding which flavor to make. After much thought, I decided on coconut granita and added some blueberries for a pop of color and flavor.

Celebrations: Spring Butterfly Feeder Jar

Spring is around the corner and I'm already enjoying the warmer weather and blue sky. I've been busy in my garden and in preparation hope to attract butterflies this year with a sweet little butterfly feeder.

CELEBRATIONS: Miniature Crepe Paper & Moss Carrots

Easter is around the corner and now that I don’t have a little one at home, I don’t go all out on an Easter basket for cute bunny décor anymore. But it wouldn’t be any fun without some type of Easter project.

CELEBRATIONS: Valentine Soap Gifts

Need an inexpensive gift idea for Valentine’s Day? Stock up on pretty soaps at your local gift or discount store then make them extra special with your own diy soap wrap.

HOMEROOM: Minted Wall Gallery {the blues}

Hello, hello friends. I’ve been on a little break but I’m so excited my first fresh post of the year is all about a room refresh. While I was taking a little blog break, the good folks over at MINTED invited me to pick out a few pieces of artwork from their amazing selection. I think I could have scrolled through the prints for days. Good thing you can sort by theme and color.

ETCETERAS: Gold Leaf Elephant Trinket Dish with Heart Footsteps

I jumped on the gold leaf trinket dish train and also borrowed some inspiration from the painted animal trend. Combine the two and you you get a Gold Leaf Elephant Trinket Dish complete with little heart footsteps for Valentine’s Day.

Celebrations: new year’s countdown and confetti

Once Christmas is over and you know what that means... the new year is around the corner. This year has flown by so quickly but I guess I say that every year.

Etceteras: vintage button snowflake

I was invited to a Snowflake Party. Now, I know for most you that won’t sound strange but many people will be wondering what the heck a Snowflake Party is. For instance, when I told my family that dinner would be a bit delayed because I was finishing my project for a Snowflake Party – they gave me that blank look that I often get…   A Snowflake Party is basically a group of bloggers and a hostess all creating a themed project. Fun!

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Creative Party 287 | Glitter Tags

FROM MY ARCHIVES  :  Easy Glitter Ornament Tags

Welcome to The Inspiration Board link party everyone. I’ve been solo hosting this link party for 5-1/2 years and love waking up every Tuesday to all the link ups. It’s been equally as fun selecting the features and I’m proud to say I’ve never missed a features post. I carefully select the projects to be featured based on what I like and what I think all of you will be interested in seeing.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 286 | White Christmas

With Thanksgiving in the rear view mirror, we’re on the home stretch to the holidays. Are you ready? I’m super envious if you’re one of those organized ones… shopping done, house decorated and so on. Based on all the holiday projects shared on The Inspiration Board, it looks like I’m behind once again. That’s why I’m so happy you keep me inspired.
