Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well. Today, I want to share a simple decor idea using a Dollar Tree plastic organizer. The organizer I'm using has three compartments.  We will be creating a hanging garden display with faux succulents. If you know me, then you know how much I love succulents.  Honestly, I could decorate every space in my home with them. The best part is that with artificial succulents, I won't have to worry about killing them. I'll provide you with all the details on creating your own hanging garden display, and I'll include a full materials list below. Let's get started! Materials One plastic organizer (I'm using the one with three compartments) Dollar Tree wallpaper sheet Wire Artificial succulents Hot glue Pencil or pen for tracing floral cutters scissors Tracing onto the wallpaper Begin by placing your plastic organizer on top of the wallpaper sheet. Use a pencil to trace around the organizer, but don't worry if you don't tra...

Spring is a wonderful time of year for gardeners, as nature comes back to life after its winter hibernation. Whether you have a large backyard or a small balcony, I have some inspiring spring gardening ideas to help you add color, fragrance, and life to your outdoor space: - Create a cute container display: Plant hyacinths in decorative containers and place them on your patio, windowsill, or porch. Enjoy their vibrant blooms and sweet fragrance. - Start a vegetable garden: Spring is the perfect time to sow seeds or transplant seedlings. Choose easy-to-grow vegetables like lettuce, radishes, and spinach. Even if you have limited space, consider vertical gardening or raised beds. - Cozy up your outdoor seating space: Refresh your outdoor furniture with new cushions, pillows, or throws. Arrange seating areas near blooming flowers or under a flowering tree to create a relaxing nook. - Give furniture an upgrade: Repaint or refinish old garden furniture with cheerful colors like pastel blu...

Here are five effective ways to relieve stress: 1. Start an indoor garden:  Try cultivating different types of succulent plants as they are relatively easy to care for. You can also grow herbs indoors in pots and place them on your windowsill. Exposing them to sunlight, watering them, and observing their growth can promote inner peace and reduce stress. 2. Explore an adult coloring book:  Coloring can be an excellent way to relax. Find a cozy and quiet spot, and spend 15-20 minutes coloring a page from your book. 3. Discover a new podcast:  Find a podcast that interests you and listen to it while enjoying your morning coffee/tea. It can be a wonderful way to start your day feeling refreshed. 4. Take a breathing session:  Guided breathing sessions are available on smartwatches/fitness trackers, but you can also do them on your own. Find a serene spot, calming music, and maybe even a guided meditation video. Take a few minutes and be mindful of your surroundings, and a...

Here are a few pictures from my garden, and a few of my favorite gardening quotes. Enjoy! "When you grow your garden, it grows you." -  T.F. Hodge Source Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning. -Helen Mirren Source Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul. - Luther Burbank Source "A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them." - Liberty Hyde Bailey Source "Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint and the soil and sky as canvas." - Elizabeth Murray Source "Gardening always has been an art, essentially." -Robert Irwin Source “I must have flowers, always, and always.” ...
