Happy April Fool’s!! I tried to come up with a prank to play on you guys but I’m not very original. And it is hard to virtually switch out someone’s sugar for salt or jump out and scare them. Did you guys have a good Easter? We had a wonderful church service and then got to relax at home.
I’ve been a very very busy bee recently! There has been tons of big stuff going on around here that I can’t wait to tell you about… but it has all kept me insanely busy. Seriously. It has been crazy. All this busy-ness is leading to the desire and need to clean and organize and purge. Yes. Cleaning is my catharsis. One of the first things I tackled in my cleanization-palooza {why yes, I did just make that up…} was my spices. You see, our apartment has an itty-bitty kitchen. No seriously. I have a total of 5 cabinets and 5 drawers. And a grand total of about 3 feet of counter space. So counter and cabinet space is valuable real estate. I hated my spice rack taking up so much of that space, so I decided to get my spices off the counter by making my very own DIY Magnetic Spice Tins.

Oh yes! You read that title right! Maybe I’ve gone a step too far in my DIY-ness. Maybe I’ve lost my mind. Maybe I should have just spend the money and bought some baker’s twine. But, in my defense, baker’s twine doesn’t always come in exactly the color my little heart desires. And sometimes I don’t want to spend money but I want the adorableness. So instead… I ventured into the realms of insanity and made some Homemade Baker’s Twine!

Spring, oh spring! Where have you gone!? Last week we had some gorgeous days in the 70s and this weekend we got a foot of snow! What the heck!? Come back to me, spring!
In an effort to encourage spring weather to come back to me I decided to make my very first spring wreath! If you have been around LPH for any amount of time you may have already realized that I kinda have an obsession with wreaths {seen here, here, here, and here}. This time I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and go with a complete DIY. No wreath form or anything! Just stuff I had on hand. What did I come up with?? This gorgeous Paper Dahlia Wreath!

Once upon a time there was me. And I chopped off 8-inches of my hair and then it never stayed in a ponytail and always fell in my face. And it drove me crazy. Most of you would tell me to pin it back or use a headband. Except there was so much hair falling in my face I would have to create a lovely bobby pin crown to pin it all back and because all of my old headbands were so stretched out that I would have to fix it on my head every 5 minutes so it wouldn’t fall off. That is almost more annoying than hair falling in my face! And since I’m cheap and didn’t want to go buy a headband, I decided to make an adorable Knotted T-Shirt Headband!!
