Picnic Easter Baskets and Picnic

Easter Picnic Baskets and Utensil Caddy's! Swoon, sweet Easter picnic here we go..............




Oh, this just caught my eye today! It sure makes me want to have an Easter Picnic! Thanks to Anj at SnowyBliss I just might have to do a picnic and make these wonderful picnic caddy's with her lovely tutorial over on her blog!


How about a little birds nest treat for your basket of goodies? It only takes 3 Ingredients!

I spotted this on Pinterest and thought this would be a sweet Easter skirt for Sammie!  Simple Simon & Company made a tutorial for making just that skirt! Oh, all the Easter sweetness I am seeing across the web!

So now that I have the idea of a picnic I am on the hunt for a perfect menu to go in the basket besides those cute little birds nests treats. Do you have any menu suggestions for an Easter picnic?

Spring Cleaning and Organizing

I was surfing around looking for ideas for organization and spring cleaning. My house is in need of a good spring cleaning! I came across some simple DIY's and spring inspiration my house could use. 

This idea is actually so simple. I don't know why I have never done this. I love pretty papers and here is an easy way to display them as they are just by decoupaging them onto canvas. Then just paint the sides of the canvas. Thanks Better Homes and Gardens! The link is under their image. PS visit their site for some other great tips! Tips for conquering clutter and organizing closets..... Who couldn't use a little help in that department? Now on to the inspiration.........
