Glitter Easter Eggs

Easter is coming and it’s time to start thinking about how you and your kids are going to decorate those precious little eggs!  Here is a great glitter idea from Martha Stewart… visit her website to get the complete how-to.

DIY Tree Stump Trivet

I just love trivets of all kinds; small, big, round, square, and of course unique!  This cute little Tree Stump Trivet is one of the cutest I’ve seen in a long time, too.  The best part is, that you can make one yourself, because Martha Stewart shows you how!  It does indeed take a fair amount of felt strips, but it’s worth it!  This would be a perfect touch to a woodland-themed tea party!

Macaron Pops from Bakerella

Aren’t these simply precious?!  They would be great for a baby shower or birthday party.  Hummm…. what events I have coming up?  I’ll think of something!  I think the blue and deep brown colors are what drew me in, and the photos are fabulous!  Below are some great images from Bakerella and the complete recipe and how-to is found at Bakerella.com.  Enjoy!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Dog Treats

I just love anything homemade and I love when you can make things for your pets, too!  Like me, I’m sure your pets are an extremely important part of your family, so why not treat them to something special like this?!  Our little Tucker Bean is turning 1 year old on Saturday and I was thinking of inviting everyone and their canine friends to the dog park for a little get-together!  Wouldn’t these treats be great in little ‘doggie bags?’ We celebrated Frankie, Angel and Dimitri’s 1 year birthday last year with a shindig at our place, so we thought we’d mix it up this year.
You can find the complete recipe and instructions over at Shared Sugar.  My mom and I simply love that site, because they share all sorts of yummies for everyone!  When you get a moment, browse their site and see what you can bake up tonight!  Enjoy!

{Humpday Tutorial} DIY Candy Bar Wrappers

I just love this DIY Candy Bar Wrapper idea, because this would be a great way to celebrate any event!  For example, you could make your own candy wrappers for your wedding favors, bridal shower favors, baby shower favors, birthday favors, ect.  As you may already know, my niece was born yesterday, and I think this would be a fabulous way to celebrate her birth.  Perhaps I will make some wrappers with her name on them and hand them out to the family when I see them!  Sooo cute!

The full instructions and downloadable templates are found at the old Creature Comforts site here!  Let me know what you plan to do with these!

Random Acts Of Kindness Week…

… Starts today!  That’s right, there is such thing as Random Acts of Kindness Week and it starts now!  There are so many ways that you can pay it forward, here are just a few ideas:

I really think that this week will be great if we all go out of our way to be kind.  It goes a long way and makes everyone happy!  Pass it on!

belly casts

I just love how creative people can be when it comes to their belly casts!  Some people get them professionally done, while others DIY, but they all turn out so unique and beautiful.  What do you like better, plain, or painted?
