Party Highlights!

Here are some unique and interesting ideas from the Whatever Goes Wednesday Party today!

Turn roman shades into a very interesting looking vase! The texture and lines of it are beautiful. Learn how at Bon Temps Beignet.

This gardening idea from The Dragon's Fairytail is an awesome one! She planted lettuce in a rain gutter. I think this would work for herbs too! It is even attached to her house so it looks like a flower planter. So cool!

I wish there was a lot of driftwood nearby me because I would make a driftwood planter! Learn how to make this at Craftberry Bush!

How cute are these decorative spools made from branches? Totally cute! See these at Homework: Be Inspired.

This idea for sidewalk paint is going in my summer "TO DO" file box! My kids will love this stuff and paint the whole sidewalk! Thanks Stampin' and Craftin'.

If you are LDS, you know the scripture mastery verses. Scripture Mastery are very important verses to which Christians should have quick reference. Download the stickers for each set of scripture (Old Testament, New Testament, BOM and D&C) at Ten Cow Chick!

I love chairs that have been turned into planters - like this at Taking Time To Smell The Flowers. So pretty (and that red just "pops.")

Driftwood Lamp

Every once in a while, I find ideas that I love but will probably never do for one reason or another. I call it eye candy!

I absolutely think this lamp made from driftwood is gorgeous! What a spectacular piece Simple Life has made! Definite eye candy!

Easy Tiered Planter Garden

Make an EASY tiered planter garden perfect for herbs or flowers or something else. Whenever I've tried planting herbs in my regular garden, they get stomped on or eaten by the deer. This might be the solution to that problem. White Water Crafting shows you how!

Stylish Fenced Garden

I grew up having a very LARGE garden. Where we live, there are deer that come and eat our plants:( I'm loving this little garden/sitting area at Tidbits From The Tremaynes. They dug out some grass and now have a beautiful fenced area for some veggies and herbs and whatever else they want. Plus, there is some built in weed control with the bark! The deer and neighborhoods kids can't trample all over it.

Painted Carriage Garage Doors!

Forever Decorating wanted the look of carriage garage doors without paying the BIG bucks. (Have checked out the price of those fancy doors? Yikes.) SO she painted her garage doors! How genius is that? VERY!!!!! I can't tell that those doors are not the real thing!

Magic Jellybean Turn Into Lollipop Easter/Spring Activity

Last Easter, we did this activity for our kids! They LOVED it! Looks like it will be a tradition for us. I hope it becomes a tradition for you too!

Just like Nothing But Country, we planted some "magic jelly beans" the night before Easter. We didn't have this cute FREE downloadable jellybean packet from Nothing But Country. I'm adding it to our new tradition.


The next morning, the kids walked out to the dirt where we planted the jellybeans and there stood some giant lollipops. I bought the lollipops at Walgreens for $1 (I think.) The kids were amazed.

Download the FREE "Magic Jellybean" packets for this fun Easter or Spring activity.

Vintage Window With Planter Box

I love this idea of attaching or building a planter box to an old window! Shanty Girl filled the planter blox with mason jars, flowers and lavendar. Super cute. While there is not a tutorial for building a planter box because she bought the window that way, I don't think it would be too difficult!

Decoupaged Nature Eggs and Using Natural Dyes

Twig and Toadstool decoupaged plants and flowers to her eggs along with natural dyes! Aren't they beautiful! What a great way to use nature in this Spring holiday!

This year, we are trying some natural dyes just for fun. The other day we colored eggs with dye made from yellow onion skins! Twig and Toadstool has some other ideas for natural ways to dye your eggs (Vegetables)! I think my kids and I will try some of her suggestions too.

Spring Nest Chandelier

I love what The V Spot has done with an old brass chandelier! She turned it into spring nest decor! Her's is outdoors, but it could work inside too. You've really got to check this one out (and notice how she changes for different seasons and holidays)! Adorable!!!!

DIY Solar Street Light

This solar street light in Keen Inspiration's yard is such a cool outdoor idea! She used an old brass chandelier to make a "street light" using solar power! You've got to check out this idea!!!

Ice Candle Holders

The ice candle holders are perfect for this time of the year. They would look awesome on an outdoor porch or entryway! These beauties were made by Elizabeth and Co.
