Butterfly Silhouette Art {Tutorial}

Confession. Sometimes I find some really great deals on neat stuff that I'm looking for. And sometimes I find some really great deals on neat stuff that I didn't know I was looking for and have no idea where I'm going to use it {but I buy it anyway - because it was a great deal!}. I know I'm not the only one.

I found this wall art at Goodwill about 2 years ago for $3 and it has been sitting around waiting for me to use it. I'll use the birdcage for another project, but the butterflies were perfect for this!

I'm sharing these with some of these parties!

Monogram Picks {Tutorial}

Last week I bought some cute tin buckets at Old Time Pottery and had planned to make mini Easter baskets for my girls' teachers. I didn't want to load them up with candy and we have already given them handmade necklaces for Christmas and I am pretty sure we gave them silk flower pins earlier this year, so I decided to use the buckets for flowers. While I was at Hobby Lobby this morning, I saw that the chipboard letters were 50% off, making the small ones, only .50 cents each. That's when it hit me that I could make monogram picks to put in the flowers. They can always use the picks some other way when the plant dies, but with all the cheery, bright-colored scrapbook paper options, I couldn't pass this up. I hope they like them!
