Earth Day....

Well, 

before Easter is here we have one stop 

at Earth Day first..

I was looking up a few things to do.. 

(besides recycle of course!)

I always think that these look so cute.. 

Eggshell Planters.. 

from Kaboose.. 

This little birdfeeder is cute.. 

even cuter with some paint or buttons =)

And how cute is this little egg carton bee.. 

love him.. 

In honor of Earth Day.. 

Uniquely Pampered is featuring different crafters.. 

with fun items that have Earth themes.. 

keep a look out if you want to see my little felt trees on there!

Easter for Kids...

As my son is getting a little older...

I am getting much too excited for all the fun 

little crafts that we can do... 

Easter crafts are especially fun.. 

Dying eggs.. 

come on.. 

everyone wants to dye eggs.. 

so.. 

I have been looking up some fun things.. 

and I thought I would share some that we might do.. 

Melted Crayon Eggs.. 

who would have thought.. 

Seems easy and fun.. 

I love Handprint crafts..

a great way to capture their tiny little hands.. 

These Handprint Lilies are so cute!

I have never done this but I always thought they were so cute.. 

Yarn Eggs.. 

I just love these little bunnies!

So much better than sock monkeys.. 

I found these crafts.. 

on Disney Family Fun.. 

Go look for more Ideas!

A fun little Festival...

This weekend I am very excited

to be a part of an Arts & Crafts Festival 

in Newbury Park 

(near Thousand Oaks)

It is a family friendly event.. 

with crafts for kids...

refreshments..

and lovely handmade goods

ready to be bought!

If you are near the area...

I hope that you can stop by and have some fun.. 

It is both Saturday and Sunday.. 

from 10-4.. 

Go here for more information.. 

Have a beautiful weekend!

Pom Pom Inspiration...

A few weekends ago 

Poppytalk featured a weekend project..

Pom Pom Flowers..

and I might have run out that same day 

to pick up supplies.. 

I just had to try it.. 

and although mine might be

a "tiny" bit less glorious than the ones featured...

It was a fun project...

I plan to use mine at my little craft booth

for a fair I have coming up.. 

(how exciting!)

*p.s. pom pom makers make it so easy.. 

found these at joann's.. 

Happy crafting!

DIY Desert Tray

I am all about the 60 mins or under crafts... 

And for this one 

all the time was in the wait time.. 

So thats good for me!

Seriously, 

I have been dying to do this forever..

I just hadn't found the right plate.. 

until this weekend at Z Gallery.. 

In total this craft was only $8.. 

and half of that was in the glue.. 

which is great cause it's reusable!

The plate was only 3 bucks

and I found the candlestick holder 

at the Dollar Tree.. 

So here is my new holiday dessert tray!

Ta-Da...

Happy Crafting!

Mushroom Kisses

I love this little craft from

Sweet Paul

Seems pretty simple

and just so lovely..

Imagine them in nice little frames.. 

I love that they were done on pages from a book.. 

Have a crafty day!

A fun little pumpkin....

I just love the idea of doing a pumpkin 

just a little bit different.. 

carving a pumpkin is still fun.. 

but here's a few other cute ideas.. 

i love this ribbon one.. 

love..

found at Blue Cricket Design.. 

From the fabulous Martha.. 

Turnip Jack o Lanterns.. 

amazing.. 

The cutest things ever... 

peekaboo mini pumpkins.. 

I need these everywhere..

I adore these lace patterned pumpkins..

but i just can't imagine making them myself.. 

If you are having people over here are some cute ideas.. 

Flying place cards.. 

and from family circle..

a beautiful, simple centerpiece..

Enjoy!

In the middle of a million things..

So.. basically.. I have been a bad completer of projects lately.. I have a million things that I am in the middle of.. but I have not been fully committed to anything.. so therefore nothing has been finished..
But here is what I am in the middle of now..
I saw this post on Mary Janes and Galoshes blog a while back.. and I thought that it was so cute and I would make one before Easter..
Here's what hers looks like:
























Here's what mine looks like so far.. and hopefully I can finish before Easter.. 

I have hope..

And then today, a friend and I are making Easter treats.. yummm

Rice Crispy treats that we are going to shape in Easter eggs.. and then dip the top in chocolate and add some love in sprinkle form.. hopefully all will go well and pictures will follow later..

Happy Easter planning!
