Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 115

I hope you’re doing well and enjoying this beautiful spring weather in April.

How’s your spring weekend going?

Isn’t it lovely to see the flowers blooming and the trees getting all green again?

Hopefully, you’re enjoying some sunshine, taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and doing something fun or relaxing.

What are your plans for the rest of the day?

Personal Note from Janine

How to Make Crepe Paper Flowers is an easy tutorial that will walk you through step by step. These Icelandic Poppies are beautiful as a bouquet in a vase or as a wedding bouquet. They are easy paper flowers to make. #paperflowers #crepepaper #paperprojects #crepepaperflowers #paperflowerstutorial #papercrafts #paperdiy

Hey there! It’s great to be here chatting with you on this lovely Saturday.

Can I just say I absolutely love Icelandic poppies too? There’s just something about their delicate and unique appearance that always draws me in.

It’s amazing how a small act of kindness from the flower vendor led me to discover a new love for these flowers. It’s the little things in life, right?

And it’s so cool that I was inspired to create paper poppies from my own supply of paper. There’s something special about creating something beautiful with your own hands. Plus, the fact that they last forever is a major bonus!

I don’t know about you, but I think this is the perfect day to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of these gorgeous flowers. So, whether you have the real blossoms or the paper ones, let’s take a moment to appreciate the simple things in life that bring us joy.

Cheers to a fun and inspired Saturday!

Cheers,

Are you looking for a pretty gift idea or want to add some new candles to your collection? Here’s a fun and easy DIY project to make your own candles using either a family tea cup or an empty yogurt jar.

One of the things I love about candle-making is how simple it is to pour the melted wax into various containers. With a few added scents and colors, you can quickly create a brand-new candle that’s uniquely yours!

My tutorial on candle making is super helpful, but if you want an easy kit, here’s the link to one.

Latest Obsession – Painted Bread

Painted Bread

Hey, have you checked out those amazing hand-painted loaves of bread? They look incredible, and I’m really itching to give it a try myself.

Basically, you make your bread dough as usual, but before you pop it into the oven, you paint it with some food coloring to create a beautiful, colorful design.

I’ve been thinking about trying this out for a while now, and who knows, maybe I’ll even create a tutorial to share my experience with others. Stay tuned!
