Reader Tip Tuesday - Mothers Day Gift Idea

I don't know if any of you are familiar with Miss Elizabeth with To Be Charmed, but it really is one of my favorites. I kinda think Elizabeth and I could be kindred spirits because everything she posts makes me drool. From inspiring projects she's found elsewhere to items she's conjured up in that genius mind of hers, I love it all. Now, I know Mothers Day is coming and Elizabeth forwarded me this lovely, feminine spin on packaging a gift. I adore those gorgeous tissue paper flowers! And to pair them with a nicely scented candle. Perfection. I can NEVER have too many candles. These flowers make me want to make some GIANT ones and hang them over the crib of my little Lady "P." This is the final feature for Featured April, so be sure to get all the details for this project here.

Thanks to everyone who submitted tips! There are some ladies out there with some wicked good ideas. Happy Tuesday, everyone.

Reader Tip Tuesday - Tile Coaster

Hey everyone! Meet Jordan! She is the genius behind the featured blog of the week, Blue Print Crafts. I love when you find something at a store, laugh hysterically at the outrageous markup in price, and say to yourself in total confidence, "I can make that, better and cheaper." And that is precisely how Jordan rolls. See these DARLING tile coasters? She saw some at Tarshay (aka Target) for $15 and had her own "I can make that" moment. Get the lowdown on how to make these goodies here. I'm adding this project to my next girly weekend. Love it.

Reader Tip Tuesday - Onesie Cupcake

I would like for all of you to meet Kristi and her onesie cupcake! You know the diaper cakes we all love so much? (Seriously... it was one of my favorite shower gifts) Well, Kristi has formulated a new spin on an old idea by forming onesies into a yummy cupcake of a goodie. Its' the Reader Tip for this week, so be sure to check out all of Kristi's bright ideas at her Bowl of Cherrys blog.

P.S. LOVE her bunny tagged sidewalk chalk. Check that out here.

Reader Tip Tuesday - Spoon Rehab

I love things that are unusual, unexpected, and add a little whimsy to life.

So, when a reader sent me a post about these sad little guys...

That she rehabbed into these black beauties... I kind of got tickled.

Because I kind of love them.

They came from Random Thoughts of a SuperMom. If you want to check out all the details on this project, you can visit Kelli's work here. And really, all you have to do is spend a few minutes browsing through her other projects to realize her blog is appropriately titled. She truly is a SuperMom! Plus, she often leaves me some super nice comments.

So, like her spoon and fork, I kind of love her too! Thanks for the tip, Kelli!

Reader Tip Tuesday - Shirt Refashion

Refashions are huge on the crafty blog circuit these days. So, when clever Lyric from Crafty Chic sent this project for Tip Tuesday, I knew it would be a hit. And, doesn't this come in time for an easy little Easter dress? Perfection for summertime. Get the how-to here and be sure to check out more refashions and cleverness at Crafty Chic a la Lyric!
