If I could makeover a bathroom, I would only dream that it would be as breathtaking as this redo from Batchelors Way. How dreamy!
I'm totally in love with carrots and there are amazing carrot ideas linked up today! I think these patterned carrots from Deck The Halls are simply adorable. .
Crochet some circles and turn them into an adorable necklace by following what Mandipity did!
Add some flair to some plain, uncoated rainboots with the help of My Own Road. She painted some darling ladybug rainboots for her daughter too!!! Puddle stomping is such a fun spring activity! 
Dress up a frame with beautifully colored faux Easter eggs! J and J Home claim this gorgeous framed egg piece! 
I'm loving this simple addition of wheat grass to The V Spot's home decor. Such a pretty touch of green for spring. 
Chunky is the trend for frames and home decor. (I wish it was for body type because I'm quite chunky!!!) Learn how to make some chunky frames for your walls with Impatiently Praying For Patience. The bulk makes a huge (positive difference).

. BLOG TIP FOR THE WEEK!
This week's blog tip is brought to you by Seven Thirty Three - A Creative Blog.
The tip is on HOW-TO: Choose a Link Party Service.
If you are thinking of hosting a party, you will probably need to choose from one of the two following services. Unfortunately, you have to pay to use either of the pictures linkies now. I use Inlinkz and I highly recommend it.

I love what Dream Book Design did with this old vintage scale. She turned it into a clock! What an original idea! What else can you make into a clock?
If you've got boys, you've got to head over to Moore Minutes to check out her 3 boys bedrooms! They are awesome. My favorite part of the rooms is this corregated metal wall. Wow! Isn't that a statement and a focal point!!!! It would look cool in several different areas of a house! All three boys rooms are in different posts!
See the boys game/music themed bedroom with these dice book holders or the eco-friendly boys bedroom.
I am excited to introduce a new sponsor (and a new love affair) of mine! 
Welcome to the BEST SELLER- (which I ordered)
Peppermint Wake-up Bar w/ Green Sea Clay!
This is the description in the listing!
Peppermint & Spearmint together are invigorating and smell Fresh.
This soap has the addition of green sea clay that leaves your skin feeling smooth. It has remarkable abilities to draw impurities from the skin as well as a beneficial detoxifier of the skin.
Traditional cold process soap making that has been perfected over the last 8 years.
No dyes, or perfumes, just all natural essential oils.
Perfect for sensitive skin.
This listing is for one bar of soap. Homemade and cut in the last three weeks. Each bar is approx. 3.5-4oz .
Ingredients: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Distilled Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Peppermint Essential Oil, Spearmint Essential Oil, Tea Tree Essential Oil, dried mint leaves & green sea clay. .
There are a few other things besides soap with which Rachael can supply you.
I hate to tell Rachael this, but she is ripping herself off. She sells these cute bath scrubbies for so little that it wouldn't be worth the time of making them. A group of 5 costs only $3.50. (I'll do the math for you - that's only $.70 each. What a steal!!!!) I got one of these bath scrubbies and my kids have taken it over for their bathtime. They LOVE it!
You can also do the dishes or cleaning in style with some fashionable oil cloth gloves!
Or you can decorate your countertop with a shabby chic mason jar dispenser!
When I received the box in the mail, I could smell this wonderful peppermint smell flowing out of the box. As I opened it, the bars of soap were lovely packaged in "brown paper packages tied up with string." Totally worthy of sending as a gift to someone across the country!
(I'm going to send some to my MIL in Texas for Mother's Day. No need to buy it at the store, package it myself and then pay for shipping.)
I received 4 soaps that I requested. The all natural face soap, spiced pear, black raspberry vanilla, and peppermint wake-up bar! Wow!
I recommend all of them, but especially the all natural face bar. It takes my make-up off better than the more expensive soap I have been using, and my face feels great. No drying out!!!
The scented soaps are heavenly. They smell wonderfully, look so beautiful, have great texture and work well doing the job of soap!
Individual bars only cost $3.00. Or you can get this good deal of 4 bars of soaps for only $10. I tell you, it is WORTH it!!!
But, the best deal is to buy 16 bars of soap for only $35.00! That's only $2.18 each! Eat your heart out Bed, Bath and Beyond. I'm not buying any of your soap anymore!!! I've found my new supplier of womanly gifts!!! Christmas will be so much easier this year!!!

For all of you who have a fancy camera, I'm jealous!!! I want one!!! You probably also want/need a fancy camera bag to go with that nice camera and all the lenses and gadgets for it! Head over to The Crafter's File Box to see how to turn a regular purse into a handy camera bag.
Making the top of a table to look like a clock is a rockstar idea! This one from All About Vignettes used roman numerals on hers! I'd love to eat lunch at this clock table any day!
A Vintage Vine made a different table into a clock top too. She used regular numerals! Another beauty!!!!
Carrot cake pops look irrestible! How cute are these at Paper, Plate and Plane! What a fun spring treat! (Found via Craft Gossip.)
And speaking of yummy looking carrots, take a peek at these chocolate covered strawberry carrots! I don't think I have ever seen anything this cute! This is my kind of carrot! See how to make these (and some other REALLY fun chocolate covered strawberry robin's eggs) at Stories of A to Z.
These fabric carrots by Creations By Kara are some of my favorite fabric carrots because of the threaded tucks she makes in the fabric. It makes them look quite real and so cute!!!

Use newspaper (or other paper) to make planters for seeds. The thing I like about this idea is that you don't have to take the plant out of the newspaper when you bury it in the ground. The newspaper will dissolve! See this at Cottage Hill.
Use an ice cube tray as a place to plant those seeds until the weather gets warmer and plants get bigger. See this and other spring planting ideas at Silly Simple.

I see quite a few ideas on how to store ribbon and fabric, but rarely do I see a button or thread storage idea. These organization and storage solutions at Made It On Monday are brilliant (especially for buttons). It makes me want to run out and buy a lot of buttons.
I know apples are not "in season" for crafting, but I think these apple looking cupcakes at An Apple and A Tree are just too cute! Perfect for teachers, fall or just because!

I think the purses made out of paint chips are simply adorable! They would be cute out of scrapbook paper or cardstock too! Infarrantly Creative has a little video showing how to make these!
Every one loves a Pottery Barn knock-off and this roman number clock (without hands) is no exception. You gotta love "rough" look of it! This was made by Too Much Time On My Hands. It looks amazing on her wall.
