Rustic Wood Planter Box

  I'm getting for some daffodils to bloom!   I would love it if they could bloom inside my house in a rustic planter like Make Life Lovely created.  The industrial hard ware and worn wood look great with fresh flowers.

CATEGORICALLY CRAFTING
So maybe you noticed that the St. Patrick's Day linky party didn't go up last week like I had planned:(   I forgot!  Life is crazy and busy and ..... I didn't remember to do it!  I apologize.  It will be up THIS Friday (unless I get busy and forget again.)

You know what to do. Enter your project (up to 4 links), tip, idea, recipe, whatever. Visit others. Leave comments. PLEASE NO ETSY SHOPS! Come back again in the next few days more projects are added throughout the week. Let the fun begin! (Because blogging is not my full-time job, I will not be able to visit every link. I apologize.)

Walls with Drawn Frames! (Awesome Dining Room)

  The dining room at East Coast Creative is awesome.  My favorite part is the frame wall paper. She put pictures of her family throughout the room in certain frames!!!! Maybe, just maybe, you could do the same thing, but with a marker by drawing on the walls.  I think if you planned it out before you did it, you totally could!   

(Oh, if you have followed this blog for a while, you may have seen Crafting With the Stars.  It is now called Creating with the Stars and is being hosted at East Coast Creative and they are in the voting period to see who gets to be a contestant.  You will want to follow this blog to see all the creativity that comes from in!!!)

Vintage Books Lamp

  If you are into vintage or want something really unique for your home, think about making a Thomas Edison inspired book lamp.  It makes me think about the first lightbulb!   This great idea came from The Shabby Creek Cottage.

Wooden Vase Wall Display

 Start collecting baby food jars so you can make this display of color.  Make Life Lovely also put candles in the jars too!   There are quite a few things you can do with this beauty!

Potted Succulent Wreath

  Spring is on its way!  And it makes me happy!   This terra cotta pot wreath at Bees Knees Bungalows makes me smile too.  Those succulent plants in the pots are the coolest!   It almost looks like magic.  Will you be making one of these?

Wood Slab Countertop

  Do you like countertops with a rough, unfinished edge?  I went to a party a couple weeks ago where the house had unfinished edges and I loved it.  When I saw this $90 countertop made from a cool slab of wood, I thought back to how much I like it.  Queen B and Me has an amazing kitchen with a fabulous counter!  This would be great in a house or ESPECIALLY a cabin!!!!  If you personally don't like the rough edge, you can get that sawed off!
