Herb tins!

I don't have my much anticipated garden.....yet. It's coming. In the meantime I thought I would grow my own herbs in my kitchen!



These cute tin buckets are in the $1 section at Target.....{love}.



I took my little dot brush and added a little spring-ness to them :)

I also got the three packets of seed in the $1 section......{triple love}.



Finished and waiting. Can you tell I am liking { } these an awful lot!



Hope to see you tomorrow {or maybe later tonight} for...


linky party!

Two simple ways to revamp ugly wood boards!

While cleaning out my craft closet I found these unfinished boards and thought I could spice em up a bit....here's what I came up with.

I have hardly ANY spring decor so I took some scrapbook paper, wood flowers and ribbon and made a simple spring sign.

Next, my bathroom is completely undecorated so that will explain why this sign is all lonsome. I needed something. I just painted this with cream paint and then stenciled the letters on. After I sanded it down and stained the entire piece. I added jute around the edge and voila!
Two simple ways to spice up some ugly boards!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
(I'm going to get my yard ready for trees and shrubs and grass!)
I'll be back Monday!

Spring paper projects

There are TONS of projects out there using crepe paper. What is crepe paper you ask? Is it just the same as tissue paper? Nope. Here's what Webster has to say about it...

Crepe paper is tissue paper that’s been coated with sizing and then “creped” to create gathers. Sizing is a material such as glue, gelatin, gum, or starch, added to paper pulp or cloth to add sheen and stiffness, among other things. This gives crepe paper a distinct texture and feel, and one quite different from untreated tissue paper.

I had no idea?! I think I might have to go get me some of this crepe paper. Look at all these super cute projects to do with it! Most of them are flowers (it is Spring right) but check out the adorable pom poms!
