You can also visit my Etsy shop at jaderbomb.etsy.com. Make sure to check out my FREE PRINTABLES site www.freeprettyprintables.com My biggest accomplishment thus far is being a guest on the Martha Stewart show, yes she smells good. I love my dog Ceaux Ceaux, pens,the smell of Christmas, GOLD, Dr. Pepper and blogging. BTW: I bleed glitter, all shades.

Pom Pom’s… It’s what’s for dinner. Well not really but if I could eat them I would. Why is it when I encounter fun things my insides bubble? For instance I just came home from Wal-Mart and when I was there I saw a Lisa Frank notebook. I literally had to stand in the isle for 10 minutes debating with myself on reasons I need it and reasons I don’t. Did I end up buying it, NO.  On another fly note I am pumped to show you this tutorial. I love the look of felt balls and I started thinking of an easier way to make a felt ball garland minus the felt balls. I found a normal bag of pom poms at Hobby Lobby the other day for maybe $1.00. Yep, I bought them! Come with me and I will show you how to make a garland made with Pom Poms.

Garland made with Pom Poms

The materials you need for this project are minimal. Baker’s twine and a bag of pom poms. Plug in your glue gun, when it’s super hot glue the pom poms to the twine! That’s it y’all!

I love the way they look and remind me of a vintage room. Maybe I just like anything bright and fun against white walls.

 The other night I sat down in the living room with my freshly brewed sweet tea, tv ready for the greatest episode ever of Real Housewives of New Jersey, un-crustable slowly defrosting in the kitchen and a crate full of fun nail polishes. I could of sworn I was in the mood for red nails with a pop of teal on one or two fingers but then I really took a look at all of the colors in the crate. It’s like they were talking to me. Pick me, NO ME, wait you have not used me in a while. I started getting anxiety because I was questioning what colors I should use. Now, I know what you are thinking. I am crazy, and yes I am! Finally I decided to paint rainbow nails!  I mean I got a little dose of every color, right!

What is your favorite colors to paint your nails?

BoHo is what it’s all about with Mark Montano this week. Not only will you fall in love with him but you will also love this craft. They are like candy land jewels hanging from your ears, right! Go Mark!

I never loved the taste of candy dot’s but I always loved they way they looked. Kathy Cano-Murillo , CraftyChica.com created this whimsical candy inspired shirt that I can’t wait to make. I don’t think there is an age limit on wearing this right?! (hehe) 

What the FAUX! I feel like this beautiful hand crafted wine bottle needs to be in everyone’s home. Once you see how easy it is to make you will have 10 on your kitchen table thanks to Heather Mann and Morena’s Corner.
I am not sure the world knows how excited I am about FABRIC CHARMSCathie Filian of Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza unlocked my heart with this craft. You will be stunned when you see how they made it!
And if you have not seen my water color flag bunting then check them out. This is a great craft for adults and kids! 
I hope you enjoyed these great craft projects. Get creative and make your own versions of everything. Make sure you check out everyone’s blog’s and facebook pages to learn about exciting news and giveaway’s. Now that I am thinking about it Mark is giving away the BoHo set he made. HURRY!

Help! I need your ideas to complete this temporary table in our kitchen. As you know we are remodeling pretty much our whole house little by little and we need to DESIGN THIS TABLE asap! I am doing something a little different right now. I am asking for your advice and I will choose my favorite tip given. Once I am done I will blog about the person’s idea I chose and show you the end result. Of course I could just paint it and call it a day but I am looking for FUN, UNIQUE, DIFFERENT ideas. Possibly something that is out of the box because we all know I don’t like following traditions. I will be keeping track of ideas given on all of my social media sites. Maybe in a week I will decide on something. I love all you to the glittered moon and back! I am super excited to hear your ideas.

PLEASE LEAVE YOUR SUGGESTION IN THE COMMENT SECION BELOW HOW I SHOULD DESIGN THIS TABLE OR EMAIL ME: [email protected]

Dream On, Dream On… Insert a tired face drinking coffee, singing this.  The other day I took a walk in my neighborhood ,remember the pictures I shared?  I have this odd desire to “collect” things that cross my path. Maybe it’s a little obsession or it could be that I am a little bit of a hoarder. I am sure people who know me reading this will laugh at that sentence. The only good thing is I get rid of these things as soon as I get them, so technically I am NOT a hoarder, haha! We will be making a dream catcher mobile today and trust me you will fall in love just like I did. Speaking of fall I can’t wait to start spraying these scents all over my house!

Wouldn’t this dream catcher look splendid on top of a baby’s crib?! It is sorta abstract v/s modern v/s county v/s whimsical.

how to put glitter on wood

It’s been forever since I used these sparkly glitter pens and boy am I glad I busted them out of their cubby hole!

painting wood

 Make sure when you open your bottle of paint to remove the protective paper on top! Or you could do like me and keep squirting and NOTHING ever happen. You would think as long as I been using these paints I would remember about this little piece of paper, right!

how to use clay

 I used Crayola air dry clay to form little balls. Make sure to stick a tooth pick through them before they dry.  Once they are dry paint them whatever color you want.

On the end of each branch hot glue twine in a circular motion, don’t forget to leave a long piece on the end to connect them to each other!

how to string beads

String your beads now! I used super thin twine for this.

The next step is easy! Start connecting them any way you want, after all it is your dream catcher mobile.
