The Creative Corner Link Up Party & Weekly Recap - 02/26/17

Welcome back to our DIY/Craft Link Up Party! Thank you for stopping by every week!

Today's Feature is Welcoming Spring with Farmhouse Florals by Worthing Court.

I like to share a little recap of my week at the start of each party:

Last Sunday, Autumn had World Thinking Day for scouts. Her troop did Lebanon, we did a swap of the Lebanese flag and had Baklava for a dessert. The girls got to learn about several other countries, such as Belgium, Egypt, etc.

Nathan FINISHED cub scouts! We have decided not to continue on with boy scouts. It was a really hard decision after 5 years in cub scouts (and Brian is an Eagle scout!), but we are trying to cut back on some of the kids activities. With Nathan having karate 3 days a week and Autumn in dance competition... IT'S A LOT. We don't get a lot of nights at home as a family. Boy scouts was going to be A LOT more, too... so, it is really sad, but I think the best decision. Nathan also won 2nd Place in the Pinewood Derby for Webelos.

Brian is going to be the best man in a wedding in April and I'm trying to decide if I want to shop from my closet or splurge on a new dress. When Cassie from Hi Sugarplum! shared this dress on her IG Stories last week, I fell in LOVE. However, it looks SO different online (I think)... what do you think? Here is the link to the online dress. She says it is the same dress, so I think it just looks way better on her than the model! 

As for the other photo, one of my favorite candies is Cadbury Eggs. I LOVE them. This is a photo one of the mom's in Aut's class shared with me and it is a Cadbury Egg COOKIE!! I tried to find it at our local grocer, but no luck. I MUST FIND IT.

Once a month I try to plan a fun/relaxing day for myself. In February I decided to go to HomeGoods. I only get there maybe twice a year, which I know is surprising. I loved these Spring wine glasses and you'll see what I took home in the cart. Lots of gold/white/neutral Easter decor! And... cream soda! And, better yet... would you believe all of the items in my cart only added up to $35?!

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...

November Monthly Goals

Happy Halloween everyone! We are going to have weather in the mid-70's today, so trick or treating tonight will be nice! Everyone enjoy your day and stay safe... I know I'll be stuffing my face full of my favorite Halloween candies (Snickers, PB Cups, etc., etc.) all day. ;) This year I've decided to set  three monthly goals  for myself each month. These will be lighter goals that I should be able to finish within the month. I used to do yearly resolutions, but I wanted to try out monthly goals this year. I am really enjoying it so far and I feel like I accomplished a lot with my January-October Goals. The recap for my October Goals will be at the bottom of this post. Here are my November Goals! 1.  Decorate House for Christmas I have a Holiday Home Tour I am doing with some other bloggers in early December and I wanted to get a head start on my Christmas decor. I always decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving, but we are going to be busy and it'd be nice to decorate BE...
