4th of July Candy Favors + DIY Twist Tie Tutorial #printable #craft

(Used in this project: Scallop Favor Tags in Boxicle and Fest styles with Small Cellophane Bags and Printable Paper Ribbon.) Simple candy favors, for any occasion, are easy to make and always loved by guests who take them home (especially children). For these 4th of July favors, I chose to use handmade twist ties instead of ribbon to tie up small cellophane bags filled with cherry and blueberry Jelly Bellies. I first read about making twist ties here and knew I wanted to try it with our … [Read more...]

matchbox-shrine-5

(Used in this project: Rectangle Labels in Henna style.) Matchbox shrines are one of my favorite craft projects and I thought the idea could transform well into a beautiful wedding favor. Decorate blank matchboxes with personalized labels from Evermine and fill them with small trinkets and treasures that symbolize your love and wedding day. I included the phrase, "Live my the Sun. Love by the Moon." to match the mood and theme of the new Henna style. The final result turned out beautifully … [Read more...]

pot-holders-3

(Used in this project: Circle Labels in Mele Kalikimaka style.) Last summer we went to the Cowboy Dinner Tree. It is pretty famous among a subgroup of Oregonians who value odd experiences in the country and like to eat a lot. It’s outside of the town of Silver Lake, Oregon, about two hours south and west of the dead center of Oregon. We wanted to eat there; we had heard about it for years and years, and never came close enough to stop, but on this trip, we knew well enough ahead of time to … [Read more...]

herbal-foot-soak-3

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Scallop Tags in Kashmir style.) Whether your feet contend with high heels, hard floors, and long days or get a workout in runners and gardening clogs, they deserve a little pampering, right? When I come in from the garden in my very favorite gardening flip flops I'm sure to leave a dirt trail behind me. But even after a hot shower and a quick sweep, my feet still ache from the pounding they just took. I made up a herbal foot soak just to pamper my … [Read more...]

The end of the school year is approaching and for some, graduation! My friend's daughter is a senior in high school this year - kids grow up so quickly! This time next week she'll be handed her high school diploma and take that giant leap into adulthood. As a graduation gift, I decided to give her a pack of her favorite grape soda personalized just for her. I soaked off the labels and added custom labels in her school colors from myownlabels.com. For the finishing touch I topped each bottle … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Oval Tags in Spring style and Custom.) Last month, while researching ideas for DIY wall art, I stumbled upon this post for pressed botanical specimens from Design*Sponge that was not only perfect for my walls, but would also make a great gift for anyone who loves plants. It just so happens that my mom is fond of ferns, so I decided to gather some extra fronds from my yard to make her a gift for Mother’s Day this year.

(Used in this project: Large Circle Labels and Oval Tags in Briar Rose style with matching Note Cards.) Sometimes the way a gift is packaged can make it just that much more fun. If you have followed some of my posts in the past, I clearly have an affinity for mason jars. In fact, I have a overflowing collection of vintage or unique canning jars that I pick up from thrift shops or garage sales whenever I see them. Some of the jars are just too pretty to be stuffed with salsa and hidden in … [Read more...]

Mason Jar Sprouting Kit

March 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment
sproutingkit-5

If you are like me, you may find it a bit hard to get through the winter months without fresh grown garden veggies. That's why I started sprouting originally, but this crunchy bean mix has me addicted! It adds a whole lot of flavor and freshness to salads, soups, pasta, and sandwiches, but also packs in a whole lot of nutrition. Each teeny tiny sprout is more digestible than the unsprouted grain, plus it packs in all the nutrients needed to grow that seed into a seedling. No need for a … [Read more...]
