For a cheap and cheerful Easter centrepiece get a bouquet of posies from your local grocer. Put them in clear vases lined with fruit or veggies...artichokes are my favourite...and voila! Instant Spring in the middle of your table!

to last Easter when I posted a tutorial on using natural dyes to colour your eggs. This one will never get old for me...beets, onions, blueberries...the list is endless and the colours spectacular! Remember to use whenever you can.

The Easter Bunny is going to be really busy this weekend so I'm sure he can use some help. Here are some ideas for Easter baskets that are not the same old same old. Who wouldn't love to receive one of these (warning...not all of these baskets are "kid-friendly")!

Easter is this weekend...where does the time go?! Here's a little idea for a place marker that is easy and easy on the environment! These instructions suggest scrapbook paper but for a more "green" project I would use shredded flyers, newspapers, magazines or even paper bags. Reduce..Reuse..Recycle!

Project #10 - Clipboard "Love" Wall Decor. Oh darn! The big day is tomorrow and there's no time to decorate? Easy peasy...this super simple project has saved the day! The best part? You can leave them up all year long and change your clip art seasonally and for the holidays. Pretty brilliant! xoxo

For the tea lover in your life project #8 - Valentine's Cup and Saucer (or mugs for the coffee folk). The black looks amazing or if you want to add a little shimmer metallic Sharpie markers are the way to go! Love it! xoxo

To me a black and white stripe is so striking and timeless. Project #7 - Glitter Love Canvas - is so simple but looks like you spent big bucks at a trendy and expensive home decor store. Fooled ya! xoxo

I don't really love sweets but I've made these little goodies before and been told they're delish! Personally I would dip them in some really good dark chocolate instead and throw a few candy sprinkles on for colour. Not as Valentines-y but a less sweet option. Project #3 = yum! xoxo

OK...I'm putting it out there...I'm going to "share the love" everyday until Feb. 14th. Wish me luck...I'm very easily distracted! Heart day project #2 - a little something for the kidlets called "Handprint Heart Card". Happy tracing xoxo!

I usually start creating for Christmas in mid November but due to a very busy month, I just started last week...gasp! I'm really behind so have been "power crafting" and "gift making" over the past few days. I can't show you the gifts (obviously) but here's one of the cards I did. I really love how it turned out! Super simple...paper scraps, white stamped snowflakes and a tiny touch of glittery embellishment! What do you think?

I have loved these mini bath bombs since I first saw them in Martha Stewart Living years ago. They appeal to my love of symmetry and colour. I'm also passionate about giving things that are handmade for the holidays. The people on your list will really appreciate it!
