The folks at Stampin' Up were kind enough to let me have a sneak peak at a new product bundle that will be available in June. Even nicer - they've provided me with one bundle for you too!

The Spring Surprise Bundle includes the brand new “A Round Array” 6-piece stamp set and a 7/8” Scallop Circle Punch. When you purchase these two products in the bundle, for only $23.95, you are getting a 15% discount.

The Circle Punch was super easy to use. I already made some sheet music circle confetti to add to our Easter table. And how cute are these tags?

I hand-stamped them using the Round Array stamps and block. Adorable, right?

Popped by a local estate sale this morning. The pricing was a bit, well, pricey. I did find a few steals though:

The camera was $5. It comes with the complete case. The gloves were $1. I can't resist vintage gloves!

The ceramic cow head, I'm still trying to figure out. Clearly it can be wall-mounted but I'm not sure if it's to hold ties, jewelery or ???? Still, for 50 cents, it's a cute piece my husband will get a kick out of.

Not bad for $6.50!

More snow falling as I type but I'm keeping the faith.

We're hosting the grandparents this year for Easter. I'm already playing around with the table settings to get an idea of what will look the prettiest. I bought a pretty Chevron table runner from Etsy that will match the plates perfectly. Here's what I have so far:

I will have to mix and match plates because the ones you see I got from the Pottery Barn outlet a few years ago - but are only for four. The egg cups are also from the outlet.

I made these silverware sacks last night. I printed out the image (from the Graphics Fairy) onto clear label paper and placed them on some glassine sacks. I'll be using our numbered napkins too. They need some serious ironing though first.

Each setting will get its own peat pot with a personalized name. I used Dafont.com to print out names on plain white paper. Then I made them into little banners and used Glue Dots to fix them onto my appetizer sticks.

Luckily I have another week to play around with everything!

I always have a ton of Dollar Store candles in the house. Given last year's hurricane, I think it's wise to stock up. Unfortunately, they aren't the prettiest candles in the world. That is until you dress them up...

I printed off the images onto clear transfer paper. The women are from Pinterest. The bee with the crown is from The Graphics Fairy.

I simply cut around the images. Then just peel and stick.

Super quick and easy way to dress up boring candles.

I picked up two of these little metal buckets from Target (in their $1 section) last week. They were $2 each. I broke out some Annie Sloan chalk paint to give them a shabby/Frenchy makeover.

First I gave each bucket 2 coats of ASCP. I wasn't worried about being sloppy because I wanted them to have a shabby/chippy paint look.

Next I printed off my graphics onto waterslide decal paper. (I told you I'm obsessed with this paper! I use it every chance I get!). I give the images a couple of coats of clear spray paint so the image won't run. Once that's dry, simply dip into a pan of water and the sticker part will separate from the paper.

Of course you have to play with the sticker a bit to get it perfect (or close to perfect as in my case). Push out the air bubbles and voila!

As you can see, my new buckets are sitting in my new Ikea kitchen cart. The hubby and 7 year old put it together for me last night. I love it!
