Satisfying Slime ! Best Slimes 2019

Looking for a quick and easy Mother's Day gift? Well, look no further... I found this unfinished frame at Michael's for $1.00. I spray painted it glossy black, hot glued a few simple rosette blossoms made from fabric scraps (see a great tutorial here ) and some loose pearls , and inserted a quote that will have meaning to our mom. One of her favorite songs is " I Often Go Walking ," a song we often sang as children at church around Mother's Day. Annie used her mad skillz to turn the last line of the song into art , so I printed it out and framed it. I then used some fabric scraps to hang the frame from. I think our mom is gonna love it! (I told her not to read our blog this week, so shhhhh....) --Tammy * * * * * * * * * Here's the quote image if you'd like to print/use it for yourself:

Last week we got to share this tutorial and free printable with the lovely readers at Mine For The Making (thanks Kara!) and now we would like to share it with you ! This free printable was created for you using part of a song called "Give, Said The Little Stream" which we learned when we were children in our church Primary class. It's a reminder to us all that no matter how small we may think we are as individuals, we can still make a big impact and have a positive influence on everything and everyone around us. "I'm small, I know, but wherever I go... the grass grows greener still." You may have learned it as the "fields grow greener" instead of grass, but this is how we learned it and how it will always be in our minds. Here is how we decided to turn this fabulous quote into a piece of framed art! You can print your quote as large or as small as you would like. Ours is printed on a regular-sized piece of cardstock and will fit perfect...

Since it was my turn to host Book Club this month, I thought it would be fun to make a little gift for my book club friends . A Book-Page Brooch seemed appropriate. I found this great tutorial at Under the Table and Dreaming on how to make beautiful book-page rosettes . They were surprisingly easy and fun to make! I added a couple of leaves, hot-glued some white felt to the back, then glued on a pin, then another small piece of felt to finish it off...and now it's a cute little brooch! I "served them up" alongside Barefoot Contessa's to-die-for Lemon Bars (they're thick and really tangy). We had an enjoyable evening discussing The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton...I highly recommend it! Happy First Day of Spring! --Tammy *Click HERE to see the lovely linky parties we participate in!*
