DIY: Ducky Punch

I've seen lots and lots of Ducky showers with ducks in the punchbowl.  BUT.  I've rarely seen the punch that actually looks like suds. 

Very cool sudsy punch and all the how to is over at Tidy Mom.

Bookmark it or throw it on your Pinterest.  This would be really cute at a school party!  Talk about wowing a crowd!

Welcome to Spring!

It's officially spring!

Breezy, "March winds", time of the year.

Hang up a ribbon curtain and let the flow of the movement and the feel of the breeze on your skin relax your soul!

DIY: Paper cup wreath

When I first happened upon this wreath by Twig and Thistle, I was flying through my reader and literally came to a screeching halt.

Clean. modern.  simple.  texture.  But what IS it, I thought.

Folds of heavy fabric is what I initially thought.  Or that heavy awesome double satin ribbon you always see on Martha Stewart but have yet to see in actual stores?  LOL

Nope.

Cups.  PAPER CUPS.  The kind of cups you can get at the dollar store in ANY color.  A whole stack for yes, a dollar.

Filing this photo away when I need a little somethin' different to fill a space.  Adds interest and is just the trick.

My cup runneth over.  (sorry... couldn't resist!)

 

DIY: Pot o'Gold cookies

When I ran across these cookies, I said "WOW" outloud with my mouth gaping open.  The Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle walks you through the entire process of creating such ART!  

Absolutely beautiful!  My question is... who could dare EAT this thing after all the work that went into it?  Oh yes.. that's right.. my SON would have no problem. LOL
