I've been on the lookout lately for something to keep my large summer earrings organized and after searching the stores and the internet I decided to make my own. 

Do you love hydrangeas in the summer? I sure do! Problem is, I can't grow them very well! One year I will have 3 blooms, another year I will have a bush full of gorgeous flowers.  I may have figured out the secret this year! 

I can not take credit for this cute idea but I'm going to put my own spin on it and put it out there for everyone looking to decorate a tiered tray or fill a bowl with decorations for summer and the Fourth of July. 

Sometimes I just like to create from things I have around the house.  Today I'm making a stenciled American flag project made with found objects!  DIY Fourth of July decorations are my favorite this time of the year! 

I may be losing it a little with this project, or so my daughter has told me.  I saw a tote like this at a fair one time and when my other daughter, (I have 4) got chickens, this project was well on its way! 

These candles are a cinch to make! See how easy you can turn a dollar store candle into a holiday treasure! I'm making these candles in an American flag design but the same directions go for any occasion! 

This project is so free and easy to make that it's sinful!  The inspiration came to me from a project a friend did recently and I just happen to have the sweet gum tree nearby!

This was a quick and easy project from parts I found in my basement. Every once in a while I get the urge to just dig through my box of junk pieces and see what I can make. Sometimes I even surprise myself and am thrilled with the results! 

The minute I saw these driftwood fish in Marshall's I new I wanted one.  I could either pay the cost of the fish or I could make myself one or two for free! I choose free...

This idea was a total experiment and it developed as I worked on it.  It all began with a recycled paper bubble mailer and some cinnamon! 

Driftwood lovers pay attention to this... Here are  6 fun projects you can make with driftwood of all sizes!

I haven't been doing big earrings lately because they are usually very heavy.  When I found these incredibly light earrings I had to have more and when I couldn't find the colors I was looking for, I had an idea! 

Today I'm creating a sturdy pedestal dish for my kitchen from things I already had around the house.  I love it when there is no trip to the store!

This project came just in time for Mother's Day! I've had the idea to make plant markers for my herb garden for a while and when it ended up to be this easy, I was ready to make a bunch! 

This teeny tiny tiered tray was an idea I had after realizing I had an abundance of small terra cotta saucers for plants.  The most recent plant saucer I acquired was no larger than 2" across! 

I just love decorating my tiered tray for the season and for special holidays.

Here's a quick and easy project that costs only pennies and looks great. Customize this idea and decorate your home for the Fourth of July and the summer months! 

I found the cutest wooden fish at the dollar store and being a fish lover I knew just what I wanted it to be! 

Here's one for you... a recycled Amazon plastic mailing bag. Yep, you heard it right, and if this doesn't give you another reason to shop nothing will! 

The idea isn't mine but the fish pattern that I'm using on everything in my outdoor space this summer is!  When I watched a video on how to decoupage candles I couldn't believe how easy it was to do... I jumped right in and got to work!
