Who is still trying to decide what kind of goodie to make the Father in your life this weekend? Well, look no further! What man doesn’t like a good cinnamon roll? And a giant sized one at that?

DIY Watercolor Printable (she: Carmella)

ByCarmella

Hey there! It’s Creative Carmella here again to show you a quick and easy creative project! Today I am going to share my tips and tricks for creating a beautiful, customized, watercolor printable. My kiddos are already out on summer break so it’s only natural that I have been beach dreaming 😉 This watercolor print was very much inspired by that day dreaming!

First, I painted a blend of blues of greens onto watercolor paper. To get the colors to flow and blend together, simply paint a little water on the paper right were the paint will be… this way the blend of colors will flow right into the next.

Easy Father’s Day Treat {Mustache & Tie Edition} (she: Brooke)

ByBrooke

Hello everyone! How are you all? It’s Brooke from Blissful Roots. Are you in the full-swing of summer vacation mode? We sure are, and I’m loving every minute of it! My four-year-old, and I, are thrilled to have my twins home all day. It’s so fun to plan different activities, or just spend some relaxing playtime at home. I’m just hoping all of our summer vacation weeks go this smoothly!
So, today’s post. I was in my favorite local scrapbook store (Pebbles in My Pocket) a few weeks ago, and they had this adorable Father’s Day treat put together. Mustaches are everywhere these days, aren’t they? And while my husband doesn’t have a mustache, and I don’t know that ties are his favorite, I absolutely loved how they dressed up a simple bag of candy (which my husband does love).

Strawberry Pretzel Popsicles (she: Allie)

ByAllie

Hello again, friends! Allie here, from Baking a Moment, to share this really fun, easy, and delicious recipe for summertime!

Promise me you won’t think I’m weird, or like a big food dummy, but honestly? I never even heard of that Strawberry Pretzel Salad thing until a year or two ago. I do not know how I made it through (ahem) thirty-mumble-mumble years without this ever crossing my radar. Especially considering food is my life. For reals. Like, sometimes I feel like it’s all I think about.

And, when I first started seeing it on Pinterest and stuff I thought it sounded kinda gross. I mean, sweet cream cheese and strawberries, yes. But pretzels? Not so sure. But here’s how the idea for strawberry pretzel popsicles was born:

Sequin Monogram Letter Tutorial (she: Darleen)

ByDarleen

Hello! This is Darleen from Darling Darleen, and I am sharing another easy letter craft project. If you’ve read some of my other posts, I have a slight obsession with monograms. I just love how they can personalize a space or make a gift more sentimental. This is a fun, easy project making a sequin monogram letter. These sequin letters can be used as a decorative object for your home or office shelf or used for wedding decorations or a bridal shower. Or any party that needs a little bling! I chose gold, but of course you can do it in any other color or metallic.

Avocado Goat Cheese Dressing from Kleinworth & Co.

Avocado Goat Cheese Dressing (she: Gina)

ByGina Kleinworth

Hi there! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. I’m back today to share with you a quick & easy way to add a creamy & tangy avocado flavor to everything you desire. We always seem to have an aging avocado on the counter. Everyone loves them & so every trip to the market results in more avocados. But they have such a short window of time for perfection. I don’t want to waste them. So I have been using them in all sorts of recipes whenever I can. One of our new family favorites is this Avocado Goat Cheese Dressing.
It’s the perfect creamy dressing. My daughter (who is just crazy for salad) just loves having this in place of her regular Ranch or Italian dressing. The avocado flavor is perfect.

Glitter Star Cake Topper (she: Anne)

ByAnne

Happy June! It’s Anne from Circus Berry posting today, sharing a fun and spark-tacular DIY glitter star cake topper with you all. It is just what you need for a little bit of glam on top of your dessert and is especially great for the Fourth of July holiday. I, on the other hand, used it to dress up a special, post-dance recital treat for my daughter this past weekend. Anytime there is a good excuse to celebrate in the Circus Berry household, we do it!
I used silver glitter card stock. Change the colors to something more patriotic and you are good to go this Independence Day.
