SPRING GREENS
A Few Favorite Posts

D

on’t you love the calming color of green in the spring?  I do and it’s with that in mind that I decided to share a few of my favorite posts that feature the color GREEN.

Let’s start with these adorable cookie mix gift sacks.

These handcrafted sacks (feature pre-packaged, store-bought cookie mix inside) are really quite simple to make and you can see my easy tutorial HERE.

If you plan to do some small scale gardening this season, consider making your own herb markers.

A handful of inexpensive spoons, a mallet and an alphabet die set is almost all you’ll need to create these whimsical markers.
