The Inspiration Board: link party [97]

From my archives | newspaper seedling pots

It's Tuesday - welcome to The Inspiration Board! My favorite day when I get to see what you have been creating. It's truly spring in my neck of the woods. The sun is shining, birds are all over the place and my garden... well that's another story. I really need to get outside and plant some spring flowers and herbs and vegetables. It's on my to-do list and hopefully I can share some pretty garden posts with you soon.

Now it's time to show off your creativity on The Inspiration Board,

Etceteras: inspired by turquoise {crackle paint}

I’ve been experimenting with different crackle paint methods. Awhile back, I tried out the Elmer’s Glue process on this little bird. The crackles were quite large and I wanted to make something with fine crackles.

Recycled Paper Towel Seedling Rolls

Some of my favorite project and crafts supplies are recyclable items. Over the past few years, I’ve shared many “upcycling” and “recycling” projects.

Good Taste: potatoes au gratin

Potatoes, taters, spuds, Mr. Potato… no matter what you call them, potatoes are a staple in many households. My family loves potatoes. Baked and mashed potatoes are quick and easy side dishes that seem to go with everything. These Potatoes Au Gratin are another family favorite and they always make an appearance at our Easter brunch. This year, I baked up these Potatoes Au Gratin in individual bowls.

Fresh Look: maison blanche vanille | hutch makeover {& giveaway}

I’m so excited to show you my dining room hutch makeover. I’ve been wanting to paint this hutch for the longest time. But for whatever reason it just never got done.

Happy April everyone and welcome to the Inspiration Board link party. Did you get fooled yesterday or did you play any April Fools Tricks on anyone? I survived the day without any pranks - thankfully. Well, it's my favorite day of the week when I get to see what you've been up to. Now that Easter is behind us, and we're putting away our eggs, cotton tails and baskets, I'm eager to see what you are all working on.
 
I have a big post tomorrow - here's a hint... I stepped away from my craft table, took a deep breath and spent two days with a paint brush in hand. I'm so excited to show you tomorrow.

Now it's time to show off your creativity on The Inspiration Board.

After the holidays I was gung ho on spring cleaning. I tackled some big jobs like the wood blinds that are all over my house, the screens that have been collecting dirt and dust all winter and dust bunnies that keep multiplying and hiding.

Paper Flower Jar Lids – from my archives

 

I’ve made several paper flower projects here on homework. I love working with the different paper colors and textures and turning them into fun embellishments or using them for décor.
