Simple DIY for fresh flowers


I love simple DIY projects.

 After cutting a few flowers from my flowerbed, I decided to display them in an old glass candle jar.

 I have done similar projects like this before, and it only takes a minute or two. 

 Any glass jar will do, but I ended up using an empty glass candle jar. 

I  started off by washing out my glass jar. You want to make sure to remove all the candle wax that may still be in your jar.

After I took some of my pink and green tapes, cut them, and applied them to my glass jar. 

Taking some fresh flowers from my garden, I placed them in my glass jar with some water.
Place your fresh flowers in an area where you can enjoy them. I set them on our kitchen windowsill. 

 Now I'm able to enjoy the beautiful colors of my summer flowers. Simple and fun. -Enjoy!

Little Clay Bowls.

Little clay bowls  I created these simple textured clay bowls, and I'd love it if you created some too! Take some clay and mold them into a round bowl shape. I used air-dry clay for this project.  Allow it to dry completely overnight. Then take some paint and mix a few colors together and paint each bowl. I'm using these cute handmade clay bowls to store some of my jewelry in them.   Enjoy~ **Hello to all my readers, and welcome new readers. It's such a pleasure to have you come along on my journey.

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! We just picked up our youngest daughter from summer camp yesterday. She had so much fun and met new people. The drive to her camp was beautiful. When we dropped her off last week, I took this picture of a cow as it passed by.  At that moment, I was reminded of all the beauty that surrounds us. Here in Colorado, like many other places, we are battling wildfires. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, including families, wildlife, firefighters, and others who have been working so hard to deal with these fires. It's been dry and windy, and we could honestly use some moisture. Wishing you all a ...
