Five Things

In a difficult economy, everyone turns to DIY and crafts, making fun items at an affordable price.  So, here are 5 things that are inspiring me, and I want to use this coming month to try to complete each of these. 

A tasty gift that keeps on giving.

A Little Kitchen Inspiration

The kitchen is one of the most unique rooms in a person’s home.  I enjoy this room the most; this is one of the rooms that can tell you the most about the person living there.  The kitchen always seems to be the clean and organized center of the home, or the catchall room like a junk drawer, harvesting the random objects that don't really fit in.  Some kitchens are highly personalized and reveal the style, colors, and details that a person loves.  

Enjoy these pictures of some of the kitchens I enjoy most.

An Afternoon Gathering

If you love scrabble and if you love spending time with friends outdoors, then why wouldn’t you love this homemade backyard scrabble board?  I always loved outdoor chess, but this sounds so much more appealing.  What game would you want to play in your backyard?

They call it mellow yellow!

The last year, I have been obsessed with mustard yellow. You see it everywhere – furniture, clothing, and event décor. Nothing says happy like an abundance of yellow! Enjoy this pictures I have found.

Tea Party Inspiration

One of my goals for each summer is to put on a tea party for the girls at church.  There are about 10 or so little ones who absolutely love dressing up and drinking from teacups with their pinkies out.  I’ve been brainstorming ideas for what I will do this year. 

This year, I want to feature some of my favorite tissue paper pom-poms/fabric banners, candy jars, and the color combination of pinks, blues, and yellows.  Thinking through the menu: muffins, finger deserts, and small sandwiches.  Here are some pictures that are providing inspiration in my thought process.
