Happy Easter! 

I wanted to show a different spin on Easter baskets. My boys are old enough that baskets just don't really seem to fit their age. However, I love to do little things for them celebrating the holidays so this year I decided to use large storage jars.

 These are perfect for all the goodies I wanted to put inside them. So basically I just layered the candy and worked my way to the top. 

Each one has a huge chocolate bunny in the middle...yummy.

In each container I was able to place five eggs with a saying or question for my boys to read out loud.  I wrapped them in money for an extra yay!

These containers are great because I can use them for other holidays Valentines Day, Halloween etc. You can find these large containers at Target and Walmart for around $5.00 in the canning supply section.

Mercedes Benz Left Brain/ Right Brain

Left

Brain

I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.

Right 

Brain

I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.

I know which one I am...how about you?

Little Bird

I'm working on a new bird and so far all I have done is it's little head.

I feel like my scrap stash is out of control so I am trying to use scraps on future projects.

The Art Of The Brick

Nathan Sawaya uses Lego's to create art that is just amazing. I can't imagine the time and thought it must take to do his sculptures. I know my 10 year old would be in heaven in his studio.

Check out his website to read more and see his artwork.

Dan In Real Life...Hell No

Great movie but it's the duet from the movie that sucked me in!

 I love Sondre Lerche and Regina Spektor's music so when you put them together I don't know quite what to do with myself.  I think this live version is great because Miss Spektor messes up and she's just cute.

Hell No

Etsy Art Love

Here is some great Etsy art for ya on this fine Friday.

Happy weekend!!

Great DIY

Have trouble keeping your flip- flops organized? I ran across a great solution from EPBOT blog for a great DIY way to keep them organized and cute.

You can get the full tutorial on her blog here.

What do you think about this make -up magnet board? I read about this project on Laura Thoughts blog and you can see the full tutorial here.

Morgane’s drawer hangers are awesome...I could really use some of these. You can read more at Design Sponge.

In Style Progress

I am coming along on this piece. Ive made a lot of progress on her dress but I still have work to do on the back (I plan to make it a lace up). When I ran across this purple patterned paper from K & Company I knew it was perfect for the dress.

Minor Obsession

I have a minor obsession with three things...Anthropologie, handmade soaps and sleep bottoms. Recently I found some of the best sleep bottoms at Target by Gilligan & O'Malley. I've bought two pair and just love them...love. I can't believe I'm saying this but I love them more than the ones from Anthropologie. It's actually killing me to say that!

Gilligan & O'Malley

Target 14.99

I STILL love the Eloise brand from Anthropologie but I found the Gilligan and O'Malley bottoms are thicker and the price can't be beat. 

Eloise from Anthropologie 48.00

Pretty awesome huh...both brands make me a whole lotta happy. What is one of your minor obsessions?
