I always have an abundance of lavender buds on hand for sachets and such. I've always stored it in a ziploc bag. Not very exciting. This morning I decided to make this lavender bottle and jars: The bottle is an old lemonade one. I used this pretty image from the Graphics Fairy on the front. I printed it onto label paper (ssssshhhhh...don't tell UPS but I used some of their label paper!) and simply stuck it...
I just added these cuties to my Etsy shop. Beachy whale frames: In blue. And pink. I used my Cricut Splish Splash cartridge to make the whales and their water. I typed out beach using Word and glued it beneath each whale. I made a blue one for myself to hang in the bathroom. The boys love it...and so do I! Adds just the right touch of beachy charm!

My sister Kathy (Creative Home Expressions) used some great bee images for some items in her Etsy shop from The Feathered Nest. She directed me there a couple of weeks ago and I downloaded this sweet little bee image. I thought it would look pretty on this shabby floral...
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year here so far. Of course, we lost power. Argh! So between 6 p.m. and midnight, we sweated our little butts off. Somewhere in between dunking my head in a tub of cold water and polishing off another can of Diet Coke, I made this sheet music book stack: I used some vintage sheet music from my garage sale stash to cover these dollar store books. Remember when...
I wanted to dress up these burlap pouches that I've had forever. I knew I wanted to add some fabric to the front but I just didn't want to got through the hassle of sewing it on. I just don't know how to maneuver through the pouch without getting frustrated. Plan B: fabric glue! I hand-stamped my bird images onto each piece of fabric first. One has Paris at the bottom and the other je...
