I want to thank you all for your participation in Creatively Crafty over the years. This will be the last party I host. I enjoyed doing this blog while we lived overseas but much has changed since moving back to the US. I’m working full time again and dealing with assorted aches and pains associated…

Ann from Apple Street Cottage has the cutest Spring Picket Fence décor. Love the bunny and the carrots. Ann has a great pictorial to inspire you to make your own.

It’s a great way to use various pieces of paper, fabric, embellishments that are too large (or too cute) to throw away. Julie has a ton of upcycled and/or sustainable crafts on her blog and participates in several…

I’m loving all the Valentine’s Day crafts. This week I’m featuring a fun puzzle piece Valentine heart from Karin of Karin’s Kottage. She, in turn, was inspired by link party regular Creatively Beth. It’s always fun to me to see how crafts (and recipes on my cooking blog) are reimagined and refined to suit the…

Meagan of Decorative Inspirations shared a pretty salt dough heart garland. She painted hers with white and pink chalk paint. The garland looks wonderful hanging from the gorgeous behind the sofa shelf. (And how about the canvases with the numbers 1 and 4? Love them, too!) Drop by Decorative Inspirations for instructions and the shopping…
