Mini Lavender Squares

I love the smell of lavender.  I have it in my bedroom and bathroom.  (Lavender soap, lavender fabric softener, lavender candles, lavender lavender.)
These lavender squares are easy to make.  You need felt squares, lavender buds and thread to stitch it together. 
Put them in your dresser drawers, purses, in a bowl, everywhere.

Painted Stones

This is so simple, but would look beautiful in a bowl on lined on a bookshelf.  What an easy way to spread a bright color in your room for spring. All you have to do is paint half of a smooth stone in different color paints of your choosing.

I love this quote.  I could do this more and I know a few others who could too...

Life-sized Calendar

Make it as big as you want.  I guess it depends on how busy you are and how much space you have for it.  I love this bright, cheerful calendar.

Travel Collection

I came across this sweet idea whilst perusing Pinterest today.  It's from the blog Iowa Girl Eats, and while I couldn't find exactly where in the blog this particular post was, you should check out this girls site, she's got lots of fun stuff.

These are "travel boxes".  You know how sometimes you collect ticket stubs or rocks from a beach walk or tons of other little trinkets from your trip?  Well, this is a way to not just store photos, but all those little memories.  You can get these wooden boxes from a craft store and then just a little dye or paint to get a variety of colors.  I can't wait to get started on mine.
