My St. Patrick's Day And First Day Of Spring Planner Layout


My planner spread for this week is full of cheerful St. Patrick’s Day charm with rainbows, lucky gold accents, and sweet little sentiments sprinkled across the pages. I used a mix of mint, gold, and bright rainbow stickers to keep the layout festive while still leaving plenty of room to write. The stickers help mark the holiday and bring a little fun to the week without crowding the page.


The left side of the spread highlights the beginning of the week with a playful “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” theme leading into St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday. I added a “Kiss Me, I’m Irish!” sticker (even though I'm not!) and a little rainbow accent to give the holiday its moment, along with a cute girl in green to keep the theme going into Wednesday. Even with those decorative touches, I kept the layout simple so the boxes stay mostly open. Since we don’t have any meetings scheduled at work right now, I’m embracing the extra white space—it makes the planner feel calm and gives me lots of room for notes if the week suddenly gets busy.


The right page continues the lucky theme with shamrocks, gold, and more bright rainbows to carry the St. Patrick’s Day vibe through the rest of the week. Thursday would have been my mom’s birthday, so seeing the “Lucky to Have You” sticker there fmakes me smile. I added a few spring-themed stickers as well since the first day of spring arrives this week, which makes the spread feel fresh and hopeful. Just like the first half of the week, the boxes are still mostly blank, and I’m loving the clean white space since our work schedule is wide open for now. It leaves plenty of room for plans, ideas, and maybe a little extra creativity as the week unfolds. What does your First Days of Spring planner layout look like?

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
