Susan from Oh My Creative shared her adorable Potted DIY Herb Gifts with Printable Tags

Chalk Painted Mason Jars!

I have been a very busy blogger here, this Spring! I LOVE it!  The weather has been nice enough for beautiful blooms galore everywhere you look, yet cool enough that it's not uncomfortable and still a good time to have projects to do inside. It really would be the best of both worlds, if we weren't in the worst drought in history, here, in Northern California.

I am often asked, for one occasion or another to make floral arrangements. Whether it be for a church function, holiday festivities or family event. I imagine you have seen some of my arrangements, here, by now. If not, where have you been? And, Welcome!

(Distressed with twine, just baby's breath)

I am very excited that my Nephew is getting married in July! His quite, smart and savvy fiance, is a Pinner, a Cook, and a DIY'er, too, and quite gifted! So, when I heard she wanted a budget-friendly, country shabby-chic-ish reception, I, of course, asked what I could do.
