Bustle.

This is so pretty!!! It's one of those things I could totally make, but they already did a perfect job, so I'm going to have to buy theirs!!!

SOLD ~ Hot Air Balloon Earrings

We wrote a prelude

To our own fairy tale

And bought a parachute

At a church rummage sale

And with a mean sewing machine

And miles of thread

We sewed the day above L.A.

In navy and red

We wound a race track

Through your mom's kitchen chairs

And fought the shadows back

Down your dark basement stairs

I lit a match, then let it catch

To light up the room

And then you yelled as we beheld

An old maroon hot air balloon

Scrap Crafts.

I pick things up everywhere I go. My car constantly has a tangled ball of willow branches in the back. The other day, I picked out all the straight branches. I knew I wanted to do something with them, so I put them in a vintage white milk glass vase to inspire me.


Yesterday when my daughter was home sick from school... and I was trying to think of an easy craft for us to do. It hit me.

Tissue paper cherry blossoms!!!






All you do is tear off pieces of tissue paper. Add one dot of hot glue in the spot you would like the flower to grow. And poof, IT's SPRING!! Just like that!!! It's super easy. My six year old made some of these and you can't tell a difference.. but I have to say. She's pretty darn crafty!


**this is a great keep sake idea for 1st birthdays and wedding/baby showers!!! Just round up all the tissue paper from the gifts and make a bouquet!!! My daughters birthday is next weekend... So, look for her birthday bouquet soon!






I decided since St. P's day was just around the corner I would try a four leaf clover. (Seen below with my little yarn dandelion puff... in a insy little vintage blue glass vase... also a gift from my Grandmother!)





**I also like this idea when it comes time for gift giving. A way to decorate a package with out spending a dime!

Milk Money or Not...
