A Fresh Start: My 20-Point Spring Bucket List

Spring is my absolute favorite season. There is something so restorative about the fresh air blowing through open windows and the intoxicating smell of the lilacs bursting into bloom. For me, spring is about the whole process of renewal—a fresh start for the heart and the home.

As a crafter, there are things we can do to give our studios a spring makeover. Remove any unused supplies and donate where possible. Declutter your tools—I promise you don't need five die-cutting machines! Spring is a great time to set goals to achieve. Without a roadmap, it's hard to find our way, and spring provides the perfect light to see clearly.

20 Things to Do in Spring

To get you started on your journey of renewal:

  1. Open Every Window: Let the winter dust blow away and breathe in the fresh start.
  2. Visit a Local Greenhouse: Surround yourself with green and find inspiration for your next project.
  3. Create Pressed Flower Bookmarks: Use the very first blooms of the season.
  4. Declutter Your Stash: Donate what you haven't touched in a year.
  5. Take Your TN to a Park: Spend a Sunday Reset session in the sunshine.
  6. Experiment with Flower Pounding: Try "stamping" with actual petals on cardstock.
  7. Buy Fresh Lilacs: Bring that signature spring scent into your studio.
  8. Write a Handwritten Letter: Use your favorite floral stationery and a wax seal.
  9. Mindful Birdwatching: Spend 10 minutes observing the birds returning to your garden.
  10. Refresh Your EDD List: Update your "Every Darn Day" tasks for the warmer weather.
  11. Start a Small Herb Garden: Even a windowsill pot of mint brings life to the kitchen.
  12. Picnic in the Backyard: A simple, sunny lunch to ground yourself.
  13. Document a "First": Journal about the first robin or the first bud you see.
  14. Try Botanical Stamping: Use leaves and stems as natural stamps with distress inks.
  15. Switch to Lighter Linens: Refresh your bedding or curtains for a brighter feel.
  16. Cozy Morning Air: Enjoy your morning drink on the porch or by an open window.
  17. Doodle Spring Florals: Fill a page in your notebook with simple line-art flowers.
  18. Bake Something Zesty: A lemon treat to celebrate the bright days ahead.
  19. Take a Sunset Walk: End a day of renewal by watching the light change.
  20. Set One Big Creative Goal: What do you want to finish by June?

I hope this list inspires you to find joy in the little things this season. Have fun and enjoy every moment of renewal!

My Christmas Gift List: Trophy Wife Aprons

Image
As you know I love all things vintage and rarely do I fall in love with something this cute and trendy. It does have the vintage vibe since it is an apron...but let me tell you...these are certainly not your Grandma's apron. Not mine anyway. They are so cute you will want to get one for all the women on your Christmas List. Emmanuella is a true artist with her sewing designs. Hi everyone, my name is Emmanuella Koenig with Trophy-Wife Aprons. I started to sew as a teenager on my mom's sewing machine. I bought my very first portable sewing machine at 21 years old. I felt like a queen with my new toy. I worked in an office up to few years ago and made all my clothes. Fabric was less costly then. I have 2 sons which sometimes, as you know, can take-up quite a bit of my free time. I have the best husband in the world... sorry ladies, he is mine and all mine! I love wearing aprons and because it was impossible to find nice ones out there, I decided to make my own...

FabScraps Design Team Unboxing: Holly Jolly Christmas & All Aboard Collections

Image
Hi everyone! I am so excited to finally share my latest design team package from FabScraps. I may have been a little "negligent" on my recent project wrap-ups, but I promise the wait was worth it! I had to improvise a bit with a steak knife to get into this box (don't tell my kids!), but inside was an absolute papercrafting treasure. A Holly Jolly Christmas 🎄 First up is the Holly Jolly Christmas Collection . If you love traditional reds and greens but want that vintage flair, this is for you. Some of my favorite bits include: The "Chipboard" Goodies: Adorable reindeer, snowflakes, and "Joy to the World" die cuts. The Ultimate Cheat Code: I am obsessed with the "cut-apart" sheets. They make creating Christmas cards so easy—it’s almost like cheating! Stocking Stencil: There’s a clever envelope stencil with a stocking detail that I can't wait to show you in a technique video soon. All Aboard for Nautical Inspiration ⚓ Next, we dived in...

My Grandma's Teacups: Turn your Cricut Explore into a Paper Doll Cutter

Making Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamps Easier with Cricut Cut Files (No More Fussy Cutting!) Why this game-changing tutorial is getting crafter clicks worldwide So it’s no secret that I am totally crazy about Prima Marketing’s Julie Nutting Dolls Stamps . I mean — I talk about them a lot… okay, really, really a lot. But they bring me such joy! They’re whimsical, expressive, and perfect for cards, scrapbooks, tags, journal layouts, planner spreads… You name it. But not everyone shares my undying love for fussy cutting all those tiny layers. Why This Matters: The Pain Point Every Crafter Knows Some of my crafty friends were less than thrilled about cutting out the myriad tiny pieces that make these dolls come to life. They liked the look of the finished product, but the process? Not so much. I get it — spending time with small, fiddly pieces isn’t everyone’s idea of creative zen. And let me confess something: that diminished my joy a bit. I wanted everyone to love them as much...
