TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS #37


Welcome to

TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS
#37

I can tell we are all ready for Spring! Lots of great seasonal projects last week...
Thanks everyone for participating...





Here are a few creative features from last week...

One of my favorite nibbles is a cheese board. I received a beautiful one a few years ago... but you can make one that is just as nice! This CHALKBOARD CHEESEBOARD was shared by MOM 4 REAL.
Would't this make a great gift!

Here is an easy way to BLOW OUT AN EGG for Easter Decorations from THE CREEK LINE HOUSE.  I'm starting today!








CREATIVELY SOUTHERN wrote a wonderful post about WHY BLOG? It's a great primer for anyone thinking about blogging and a wonderful reminder to all of us bloggers!




why blog





I GOTTA CREATE made these upscale TUXEDO AND PEARLS OREOS. Oreos have never looked so fancy!








I'm wild about the paint finishes from VILLABARNES! Head over there to ooooh and ahhhh over FINISHES I LOVE and pick up a few great hints along the way!











Don't we all love love love chandys! FROM MY FRONT PORCH TO YOURS transformed an already beautiful light to an over-the-top stunner by adding NEW CHANDY BLING. And as a bonus she is showing off her sweet spring decor!










Topiaries make me sigh! They are so beautiful... if I can keep them alive long enough!  ALL THINGS HEART AND HOME has a wonderful DYI IVY TOPIARY tutorial! On my must-try list!










You can make any letter or note much prettier by MAKING AN ENVELOPE OUT OF ANY PAPER. Head over to THE FORGOTTEN ART OF LETTER WRITING to see how.






Eclectically Vintage





We all love reveals, don't we.... here is an adorable KID'S BATHROOM REVEAL from QUEEN B CREATIVE ME.  Lucky, kids!










This week I'm sharing how to make a SPRING BIRD'S NEST DYI.  Very easy and a little messy. And much more economical than those nests you buy in speciality stores!

      Sweet Yvonne, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a kind comment on the Book Page Decoupage Eggs. What I loved about this craft was that I could cover up all the plastic eggs that were strange colors ;-) I'd love to know if you end up making some yourself. Have a blessed week!

    Hi Yvonne, thank you for hosting! And thank you for your sweet comment, the boys are growing up too fast. I sometimes wish I could freeze time. My dad always reminds me that one day there will no longer be the mess and chaos & that I will miss it terribly, so I do try to keep things in perspective, try. I truly mean this, I LOVE your blog, so beautiful Yvonne! Have a great day, Jen

    Hi Yvonne, Thanks for hosting the party. I have linked up and look forward to visiting some of the other links. The features are just wonderful. The oreos are almost too pretty to eat, but I am pretty sure I still would! I am starting a new party called 'Saturday Sparks'. The first party is this Saturday and I would love to have you stop by if you get a chance.
    Have a Wonderful Day,
