Last week's TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS was full of inspiring projects, helpful hints and a whole buncha' creative tidbits! GOODNESS, you are an impressive bunch!

Here are just a few examples...

Just look at this FABULOUS PORTABLE BAR from BLISS RANCH! It was made from an old dresser! I am so wild about it! This may be a winter project to put out on my back porch next spring.



Need a sweet treat for a hot day? Angie AT ECHOS OF LAUGHTER shows us how to take the humble ice cream sandwich  and make these scrumptious SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM SANDWICHES



Poppy from WITH A DASH OF COLOR has a few very colorful and fun summer projects in one post!
I love her MODGE PODGE MAP BOX... so creative!


Heather from AT THE PICKET FENCE shows us how to make HOMEMADE PEPPER VINEGAR like a southern gal!.  Her photographs are so yummy and bright!

pepper, vinegar, southern, homemade, recipe


 Christie from THREE PIXIE LANE transformed her porch into a real blast from the past! Her authentic SUMMER CAMP themed porch is so precious!




I love this LITTLE PIG MENU BOARD!  Laurel, from THE NORTH END LOFT upscaled a thrift find wooden pig into this really sassy piece. She also made her own chalkboard paint and tells us how!




This is such a great beauty tip from Pat at PAT'S PINK APRON... OLIVE OIL DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT. I have been doing this for years and it works better than any other hair treatment I have ever done! This is a must-try!





Here is my WHITE POINSETTIA CHRISTMAS STOCKING TUTORIAL. This snowy, showy stocking is really very easy to make. I an extra detailed tutorial to help you! Remember it is Christmas in July!




And if the thought of making a Christmas stocking in July is too much for you... you can make a beautiful poinsettia pin to give as a gift!

    Thank you for featuring my dresser bar. I'm plotting how to turn it into something to use for hot beverages by the fire this fall, but I'm inclined to forget all about it and just make those salted caramel ice cream sandwiches!
