Spring is apparently here, and I have a fever! Although, in our area, we have doubts considering how cold it has been, and that we still have a lot of snow left on the ground.  Nonetheless, we are all itching to get outside and enjoy the longer days filled with the sunshine.

To get ready for Spring Time Events, and even early summer times.  We are cleaning, purging, sprucing up our homes.  We also are planning about how we want to relax and have fun during those long weekends.

Fortunately, with stores like Dollar Tree, it is more affordable to pull off our outside shenanigans.  And, if you have a US address then you can even shop online!

If I could order things from the Dollar tree, to have delivered to my home to help me with all our plans and prepping, here is a sampling of what I would get.

Pink Plastic Flamingos at DollarTree.com Pink Flamingoes by the case!  I did say I have a Spring Fever!  Really!  We would certainly be the talk of the neighborhood if we planted those pink birds out on our front yard.  Ok, maybe only temporarily like to announce a garage sale or celebrate something.  But, how fun would that be?

For the kiddos, it would be great to order, EZBreezy Licensed Character Kites at DollarTree.com They can have fun for cheap, and the parents can use the extra change for....


Royal Norfolk Paisley Print Stoneware Plates at DollarTree.com These are just a few of my fun ideas I came up with.  Please share your own Spring Fever ideas in the comments below.

In an upcoming video, I will be sharing a tour of my Craft Room/Studio.  But first I have to clean!

Eggs that Bling

Egg and Easter Craft making is what I am into these days.  I blame the retail industry for this.  I started noticing easter decorations and party supplies in the spring theme available on store shelves at the beginning of January!  OMG!  So I thought maybe I should start crafting some spring and easter themed crafts to decorate my house with.

Another  thing I have noticed is the trend for gold and metallics in home decor this year.  Nice shiny stuff.  Well, at least it helps with dealing with the cold gloomy days of winter.

I have this craft to share with you that is super easy to make.  It is very inexpensive, easy, and quick.

All you need to make these are: styrofoam eggs and metallic flat head thumb tacks.  I find both at my local dollar stores.

1.  Grab an egg and some tacks.

2. Stick the tacks into the eggs.

3. Admire.

I told you it was easy, but don't these look like they are fancy and complicated to make?  Shhh, it'll be our little secret.

I hope that you have fun crafting some cute and easy projects.  Come back soon to see what other project I have to share.  You can also follow my blog and subscribe to my video channel.  That way you won't miss a thing.

Thanks for stopping by.  Keep on Craftin'.
