Easy Jelly Bean Tree

It's funny–there are so many beautiful elaborate parties out there, but it's always the simple DIY projects that I gravitate towards.  I guess I'm always impressed by the simple ways people make such a great decor statement.  And it's especially gratifying when it doesn't cost that much... like this great jelly bean tree from Crafty Sisters.  Pick a few branches from your backyard and hot glue some jelly beans onto them.  So pretty, you don't even have to wait until Easter to make one.  Find the original post here.

St. Patrick's Days Past

If you follow me on Facebook, you might know that I had some exciting news this week: PBS Parents featured my St. Patrick's Day necklace craft! I don't know how they found it, but it was great that they reached out to let me know!  The project is a bit old so I thought it would be a good idea to re-share it and a couple of my other St. Patrick's Day ideas here.  You can find the direct links after the photos.  Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

Easter Bunny Canvas

I spent a good half hour the other day walking through the Easter aisles at Target.  So many cute things!  I love Easter decor mainly because of the soft colors–really makes you feel like Spring is just around the corner. And so I love the soft colors used in this adorable Easter Bunny canvas from Clean & Scentsible.  The addition of the 3D pom pom tail is great!  You can find the full tutorial here.

Sweet Baby Shower Brunch

Mini chicken and waffles, home style potatoes and more greeted guests for this special shower brunch to welcome the parents-to-be's upcoming bundle, Mila.  Mom-to-be is actually an invitation designer, The Card Lady, and designed the invitation and other decor for the event.  One of my favorite little details is the glitter heart straws.  There were also plenty of games to entertain guests. Enjoy all the details as photographed and submitted by Iliana Morton Photography in California.

 

 

 

 

Wood and Baby Jars Wall Candleholder

Signs of spring are popping up everywhere–including this lovely wall candleholder using baby food jars.  This would be great hanging outside your home, around the patio.  From Make Life Lovely, find the full tutorial here.
