When I was wrapping up my gift for my friend’s baby shower a few weeks ago, I realized that I didn’t have a baby-appropriate gift bag or any rolls of wrapping paper. In fact, I’m pretty sure the only rolls of wrapping paper in our house right now are leftovers from Christmas. Whoops. Instead, I turned to a roll of plain kraft paper. This, of course, works just fine, but it needed some fancying up. So I came up with this baby shower clothesline gift wrap to dress up my gift for the occasion!
Happy Wednesday! Are you ready to kick off Creative Spark Link Party #96?
I am so excited about this week’s Features – I selected three incredible DIY Easter egg projects to share with you. They make perfect last-minute projects too, in case you’re like me and haven’t done anything Easter-y yet 😉
Did you know that March is National Craft Month? Now that’s my kind of thing to celebrate! Wayfair recently asked me to be part of their Craft Redux campaign, and I jumped at the opportunity to participate. The challenge? To re-make or reimagine the first craft project you ever posted on your blog.
Sign me up! I love a good craft challenge. For me, this meant a chance to re-invent my Spring floral wreath.
I hope you had a good first week of “Springing Forward”! I am already loving that the sun sets later; I feel like I’m ready to come out of hibernation—haha!
We have another round of wonderful Spring-inspired Features to share with you this week. I am loving all of the sweet and colorful Spring crafts you’ve been sharing with us recently, and of course, all of the Easter dessert ideas and sweets are making my mouth water!

For this month’s “Spring is in the Air” theme, I took the “in the air” portion somewhat literally. When I think of the signs of Spring, I think of the scents – new grass, warm breezes and blossoming flowers. After having our home shut up for winter, I look forward to opening the windows, clearing out the stale air, and filling our rooms with light, fresh scents.
I frequently see simmering pot recipes shared around the winter holidays, combining clove, cinnamon and other heart-warming seasonal scents. But the idea of a simmering pot is one you can use and change up all year long, and this is what inspired me to put a Spring spin on a few simmering pot recipes.
