Crayola Nail Art Pen


Crayola makes nail art pens?  How did I not know this?  I guess you can get them at Walmart.  I will be on the lookout.  What a fun summer activity for the girls!

Have you seen these?  Have you used them?  Either way, let me in on your best nail painting trick?  I love painting my nails, and the girls, but it usually looks like they painted them.  I don't really have any nail painting skills.

Swiss Roll Ice Cream Cake

I am pretty sure that this tastes as good as it looks:


You can get the recipe for this Swiss Roll Ice Cream Cake at Good Eats 'n Sweet Treats.

Mason Jar Storage

Another fun use for Mason Jars:


You can use hose clamps to secure the jars to a piece of wood and use it to store all sorts of things.  Office supplies above your desk, scissors above your craft table, wooden spoons in the kitchen.  So many fun ideas!

And if you don't want to make your own, you can buy some from Old New Again on Etsy:


She even sells a super cute coat rack version:


Summer Strawberry Treat

I love this quick and easy recipe from Sweet Paul.  A bowl of strawberries with sugar and lemon zest.  YUM!

A Twist on the Draped Fabric Ceiling

Ashley Meaders has some really beautiful party ideas.  She is the person behind these cute little pancakes I posted about back in April:


My new favorite idea from her site is this:


Instead of draping fabric, she draped strips of  lots of different fabric.  Such a fun and colorful idea.  I think I want this over my bed all of the time!
