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.")

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.

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.

Rice Krispy Easter Edibles!

I love ideas like this table full of rice krispy edibles that pass for themed decor and treats. The topiary, easter basket, chicks, flowers and decorative balls in the apothecary jar are all edible. (Click on the image above to see them in greater detail.)

How fun would that be for a party or to do with your kids?!?! You can read more about this display and get the recipe over at Cute As A Fox.

Fun New TP Roll Blog and Paper Towel Roll Marble Run

I just discovered a great new blog where the "main ingredient" is toilet paper rolls and the like called TP Crafts. While many of the activities are for kids, (especially appropriate for those of you with pre-school, kindergarten-aged kids), there are some other great tips and fun projects for an avid crafter.

.

I'm loving this marble run made from paper towel rolls. Any age kid would love this activity. You've got to visit this blog!

More Awesome Valentine's Ideas from party!

Here's three more great links from today's party for Valentine's Day!

I think I am stealing this idea for my husband for Valentine's Day! Obviously, he doesn't want a flower bouquet, but he'd be in heaven with a beef jerky bouquet! He would think I am a trophy wife for giving him that gift! See this awesome idea at Mom's Of All Trades!

This heart truck shirt is perfect for Valentine's or for an anytime shirt for a boy who LOVES trucks. Get the graphic at Couturier Mommy!

I want to play this "Love Pox" game with my kids! It sounds like SO MUCH FUN!!!! They would think it is hilarious! See how to play at Sassy Sites!

Simply Crafty came up with another darling idea for using Valentine's candy. She made this frame with sweethearts! Cute.

These Valentine's Chair backers are such a great idea to make for home or school. Perfect for Valentine's or just little notes to members of the family! See them at Ladybird Ln.

I like the simplicity of that glass circles heart found at Sweet Pea & JoJo. Such a cute accent.

Create a unique lampshade by using some twine (or string) to a metal lampshade. Super fun! See it at Northern Cottage.

Plantable Valentines!

This is another great idea from last week's So You Think You Are Crafty competition! Positively Spendid came up with this plantable valentine idea for her kids' friends! That's right! They made thier own recycled paper and added some spring flower seeds to the mix. In the spring when the hearts are planted and watered, flowers will pop up! I wish I could think of crazy awesome ideas like this!
