Spring Flower Arrangement

While at Trader Joes this weekend I picked up some tulips and got a little create with the presentation. The peas actually create a chic look since the peas look like pebbles.

Spring is Here

Just a friendly reminder when the snow melts and the temperatures rise get your dogs back on their flea and tick medication. I get the best deals at PetCareRX.

Eggcellent Easter Ideas

Easter is going to approach quickly so I decided to share with you some of my favorite treats and DIY projects.

DIY: Easter Egg Door Hanger

I love to adorn my door with a festive wreath that coincides with an upcoming holiday or season. While roaming around Etsy a few weeks back looking for wreath inspiration I came across a lot of wooden hand painted door hangers, and thought I would create one for Easter. Here’s what I did:

You will need:
Anything in a (…) is where I bought my supplies from
Smooth faced plywood (Home Depot)
Jigsaw (Home Depot)
Paint brush (Joann Fabric)
Acrylic Paint (Joann Fabric)
Frog Tape (Home Depot)Picture frame hanger (Home Depot)
3M hook (Home Depot)
Ribbon (Sam\’s Club)

Step 1: Trace an egg shape onto your wood, and cut it out using a jigsaw.

 Step 2: Paint two coats of white acrylic paint onto your egg.

 Step 3: Tape on a chevron design (I used Frog Tape to prevent bleeding colors).

 Step 4: Using a paint brush paint two coats of each color. Remove tape immediately.

 Step 5: Attached a picture frame hanger.

Step 6: Create a bow and hot glue it to the top of your wooden egg | bow tutorial.

Step 7: Attach a 3M hook to your door and hang your egg.
