Share Your Creations Party #33

Welcome to Share Your Creations party #33! I hope you will link up and join in the fun!

 On with the features... There were some great Easter links last week and I chose to feature the tasty ones! These Bad Bunny cupcakes are the cutest! I bet they are yummy too...Visit I Savor The Weekend for the recipe and tutorial. 

Another treat! These resurrection rolls would be perfect on Easter morning. Each ingredient has a special meaning. Visit A Pinch Of Joy for the recipe.

Tami at Curb Alert  made this adorable bow holder out of an old screen door she found on the side of the road. Visit her blog for more curbside inspiration!

Carol at Are We There Yet is remodeling her kitchen and is on the downhill slope. It looks wonderful! Pay her a visit to see the before pics. Wow! What a difference.

Here is one of my creations I finished putting together today. I found the wire birdcage/cloche with the stand at Homegoods for $19.99 when I was in Dallas. I love Homegoods and sure wish we had one here! I added a sweet little bird in the middle. I also added some gold and green hydrangeas and red flowery vines. I sold my dining room table arrangement so I added this to replace it. I'm still working on putting everything together to create a springy tablescape. I'm also still looking for a new table runner. I might just have to make my own! I'm good with a glue gun! =)

I have been working on several things around the house. I'm rearranging and adding in some new accessories. This redecorating takes time! I get an idea in my head and then can't find what I want. =0 However, it's starting to come together now and I will show you some things soon.

So what did you create?

You can link any item you have created, any room you have decorated, a vignette, a piece of furniture you have painted, a recipe...and the list goes on and on...

The Firepit Patio...What A Difference Flowers Make

I mentioned in my last post that we worked on the yard over the weekend. I just could not wait any longer to get some color out here. Saturday I went to Wal-mart and Lowe's and bought flowers in red, yellow, orange and purple...my favorite color combination! I don't think I could get away with pink out here since this is Kevin's manly spot! Haha! So he thinks...

Now that's better. Not too manly...but he's ok with it now. The first year he built the patio he said he did not want any flowers out here. I had a little fit and he changed his mind. =)

I had the pillows and bench cushion made last year. They faded a little, but still look pretty good.

I'm going to paint the bench with a bronzy color like the chairs.

The hanging baskets are from Wal-mart. I love the color combination! They were around $15 each.

I planted the large pots with several different kinds of flowers. They will be really pretty in about a month.

Here's Sugar enjoying the sunshine.  

She spotted Sassy and Coco and the chase is on!

Have a wonderful Wednesday! Be sure and come back on Thursday for my Share Your Creations Party. There were some great links last week! I enjoyed looking through them.

New Etsy Store Items!

Yay! I finally listed some new items in my Etsy store. I planned on getting these listed two days ago! =0 However, as I started to get some things together I just couldn't stand it anymore...I had to do some deep cleaning and yard work! Uggg. I'll have to admit I have not been very good about housework lately. I was so busy with my Etsy store before I went to Dallas that I put off cleaning and yard work. Which is fine and I am always happy to have lots of business!! Sometimes the house and yard just have to take a backseat. However, I finally got to the point where it was really bugging me. This new cat we have sheds like crazy and Kevin and Chase sure didn't pick up any of the hair while I was in Dallas! lol... Anyway, I feel alot better since the house is somewhat clean and we got some yardwork done. Kevin was off work on Friday we planted the garden and planted flowers on the firepit patio. I will show you soon. Enough about cleaning...here are some new Etsy store items just in time for spring!

I have sold several of these cute nesting bird arrangements.  

I have sold several of these birdhouse arrangements too. It sure looks good on my kitchen table.

This watering can arrangement with a bird would make a cute centerpiece.

Rabbits are not just for Easter...I use them all spring and summer.

Love the cute little wooden butterfly container.

This arrangement would make a great centerpiece too.

For the rooster lovers!

This arrangement is full of rich colored flowers and would look good with everyday decor.

I have sold several of these frames. Love the french script ribbon.

Here is a rooster frame to go with a rooster arrangement.

The rhinestone cross is very elegant.

More to come...I am getting back into the swing of things. Click HERE to visit my Etsy store. My items would make great Mother's Day gifts!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter yesterday. My Easter post never made it up! Goodness.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Share Your Creations Party #32...Sharing Your Beautiful Mesh Wreaths!

Welcome to Share Your Creations Party # 32! I hope you will join in the fun this week!

Sorry I'm late getting my post up! I mentioned in my last post I was traveling to Dallas. I got back into town late Tuesday and was worn out yesterday and didn't feel very good. I feel better now and need to get everything back in order and unpacked. I've mentioned before that my friend, Sherry, has a house in Dallas. I love visiting her and her daughter, Lisa, who lives down the street. We always have so much fun shopping and eating. We literally shopped until we almost dropped this trip! We were worn out every night. It's good to be back home and get some rest. I'll probably visit again in a few months.

On with the features...

Sally at Love of Homes created a really cute Easter mantle. Can you believe Easter is this Sunday? It has snuck up on me.

This beautiful spring tablescape was created by Diane at Tablescapes By Diane. Love the parrot napkin rings.  

Gypsy Couture tells you how to achieve the painted and distressed look. Her little side table turned out really cute.  

 I thought this would be a good time to share some of the wreaths you have created from my tutorials. Thanks to those of you who sent me pictures! I am thrilled to be able to post them on my blog. You can still send me pics...I can add them to this post.

This wreath was sent to me by a reader named Linda. It turned out adorable!

This one was created by a reader named Sandy. Love the pink and green together!

Here is one in purple and yellow created by Rita. Very pretty!

This one was created by a reader named Sharla. She found the same bunny sign I used. Her wreath turned out really cute! Love the striped mesh she used.

This wreath was created by Kayla. It turned out so fluffy and pretty!

Each of your wreaths are so pretty and unique! Thanks again for sending me the pics!



Since Easter is this Sunday I wanted to show these jars my friend Sherry created.  She has them sitting on her island in Dallas. They are made out of candle holders, jars, and finials. She found the tutorial on a blog...I'll have to ask her which one.  I love how she decorated them! Too cute!

Share Your Creations Party #31 And...Attention Dallas Customers!

Welcome to Share Your Creations Party #31!  Unfortunately, this week I will not be doing the features. I am leaving for Dallas at 10:00 a.m. and it is 3:00 a.m. right now and I can't think at all. I hope you will understand...I also hope you will go ahead and join the party this week. I have been seeing lots of beautiful spring creations popping up everywhere in blogland! It was a great party last week. The reason I am up so late is because I have been getting ready for a spring show in Dallas I'm participating in on Friday. Lisa, my friend in Dallas, who recently opened her Etsy store called Canvas Designs  is participating in the show too. In fact, she and her mom told me I should do it since I was going to be in town anyway to visit and go to Dallas market. To make a long story short I signed up two days ago and have been making frames and arrangements ever since! Whew! So...if you live in the Dallas area come and see us! It will be at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church at 9800 Preston Rd. in Dallas, Tx. from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.this Friday. My little space will not be fancy...I won't be able to take any display equipment and will just have to do the best I can with a table or two. Oh well...it should be fun!     .   

Here are some of the creations I am taking to the show.

What did you create?

Pinterest Insprired Decorated Wire Stand

Happy Friday! I hope you are having a good day so far. It's not raining so I'm thankful for that! It has rained all week and I am ready for some sunshine!

The other day when I was on Pinterest I saw one of these wire stands decorated with greenery, rabbits and eggs. It was really cute so I pinned it. I wanted to make one for myself and went looking for the wire stand and found one at Kirkland's. It was on sale too! I went through my stash and picked out some moss, greenery, flowers, bunnies and ribbon and arranged them on the stand. No glue needed...everything is just laying in the stand.

I love the way the little bunnies are nestled among the flowers and greenery.

It was very easy to make...

I placed in on my island in a tray with a moss bunny and candle.

I bought the moss bunny at Pier 1 Imports and love him!

I think I might be overdoing the bunnies! Oh well...I showed you this tablescape last week but decided to add the "B" plates I found in my cabinet. I totally forgot I had them! Oops! I'll leave them out for a while...I like the frenchy touch they add.

I'm not this bad yet...but I might be soon! =0

There are just too many good ideas on Pinterest!

I have listed more arrangements in my Etsy store if you would like to take a look.

Have a great weekend!!
I'm joining Marty at A Stroll Through Life for Tabletop Tuesday.
