				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;">Friday Flair Link Party //</span> Well, it&#39;s FRIDAY friends!! Time for a little R&amp;R this weekend. We are about to head into the last week of school and I have all kinds of things on my to do list before the kiddos are home all day. I am totally looking forward to the summer, but a little nervous at the same time. When we were in Vegas we had our normal summer routines and being in a new place I&#39;m not sure how the routine is going to shake out. Do you ever worry about that kind of stuff? I&#39;m weird about that kind of stuff. &nbsp;I need to be mentally prepared and then I&#39;m just fine. &nbsp;The unknown, unnerves me.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#39;m loving Spring here in Lincoln. I go outside every morning to water all of my plants and I fall more and more in love with this place. The whole idea of it NOT being 100 degrees at 6:00 am is just so lovely!!&nbsp;My neighbor has several lilac bushes and it brings such an amazing aroma into my yard. I LOVE the smell of fresh cut grass too! I haven&#39;t really had either one of those scents in my life for quite some time. I&#39;m loving it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This weeks inspriation comes from a sweet friend of mine. I had the chance to meet her at <a href="http://www.havenconference.com">Haven</a> last june and she is just a DOLL. Seriously, one of the cutest ladies I&#39;ve even met. She created a fabulous guest post several months ago for WhipperBerry on how to make a&nbsp;<a href="http://whipperberry.com/2012/07/sail-cloth-shower-curtains.html">sail cloth shower curtain</a>. To DIY for! (get it, to die for!!) &nbsp;LOL!! &nbsp;Her name is&nbsp;Kari and she is from Thistlewood Farm and she made the most amazing Bicycle Wheel Wall Clock that I think is one of the most creative&nbsp;projects out there in blog land right now. She is one super talented lady!!</p>

<p>I am just loving what you can do with old bicycle wheels. Yesterday, I posted a sneak peek at what I&#39;m working on with my <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/05/color-blocked-bicycle-wheel-sneak-peek.html">old bicycle wheel</a>. I can&#39;t wait to see how the final project pans out. Head on over to <a href="http://www.thistlewoodfarms.com">Thistewood Farm</a> and say hello to Kari from me. She has all kinds of fabulous inspiration for you!!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;">Color Block&nbsp;Bicycle Wheel //</span> I have always loved finding quirky little treasures to add some character to my home. I seem to always have my eyes peeled looking for fun goodies to get my hands on. &nbsp;A few years ago I was junking at a fabulous junk shop called <a href="http://patinaantiquesandhome.com">Patina</a> close to my Mom&#39;s house in Denver and found a wonderful old bicycle wheel. It made it&#39;s WhipperBerry debut in this <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2012/01/crayon-heart-valentines-with-lifestyle-crafts.html">post</a> and was an instant hit! &nbsp;For the last little while I thought it could work as a fabulous photo display, but it needed something a little extra to dress it up a bit. &nbsp;So, I decided to give it a little color block treatment and I LOVE how it turned out!!</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WhipperBerry-Bicycle-Wheel-Photo-Display.jpg"><img alt="WhipperBerry Bicycle Wheel Photo Display" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10413" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WhipperBerry-Bicycle-Wheel-Photo-Display.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>I have been obsessed with color blocking along with gold accents. You may have noticed&#8230; I&#39;ve created several posts lately with all kinds of&nbsp;gold goodies. I have <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/05/dress-up-your-dinnerware-with-decoart.html">Dressed-up Dinnerware</a>, <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/04/gold-accent-picture-frame.html">Gold Accented Picture Frame</a>&nbsp;&amp; a <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/04/gold-accented-bowl-refashion-project-relove.html">Bowl Refashion</a> to name a few. I&#39;ve been going to town with <a href="http://www.krylon.com/products/general_purpose_metallic/">Krylon&#39;s Metallic spray Paint </a>and it&#39;s been getting a lot of use around my home as of late.</p>
<p>For this project, I used <a href="http://www.krylon.com/products/premium_metallic/">Krylon&#39;s Premium Metallic Gold Paint</a>&nbsp;and their<a href="http://www.krylon.com/products/indooroutdoor_paint/"> Indoor/Outdoor paint in Catalina Mist</a>. The only other thing I used was some painters tape to create a clean line. I took the wheel which was already painted off white and distressed and hung it up in my back yard to paint.</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Bicycle-Wheel-Before.jpg"><img alt="Bicycle Wheel Before" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10409" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Bicycle-Wheel-Before.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>Then I added one strip of painters tape &nbsp;at two different spots on the wheel. For some reason I didn&#39;t get any photos of this, but you get the idea. No need to tape like crazy. As long as you spray carefully you won&#39;t really have any issues with it. The tape is really just to create a guide for where you want to spray. I sprayed two-thirds of the wheel with the Catalina Mist and then the bottom third, gold.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Color-Blocked-Bicycle-Wheel.jpg"><img alt="Color Blocked Bicycle Wheel" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10411" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Color-Blocked-Bicycle-Wheel.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>Now, this is just a sneak peek, you&#39;ll have to wait until next week to see the finished project and how I use it to display my Instagram photos from <a href="http://www.origrami.com">Origrami.</a> I can&#39;t wait to show it off&#8230; It&#39;s going to look sooooo cool!!</p>
<p>Have you found some cool and unusual ways to display photos? Leave a comment and share your fun ideas!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center; ">Tired old dinnerware&#8230;&nbsp;Dress it up with DecoArt</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dress-up-your-dinnerware-with-DecoArt1.jpg"><img alt="Dress up your dinnerware with DecoArt" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10368" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dress-up-your-dinnerware-with-DecoArt1.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>So the other day, I was on a date with my sweetheart and we were walking through Target (yes, it was a glamorous Target date) and I found these fun summer dinnerware items that had some really great&nbsp;texture to them. They were also on clearance, total&nbsp;score. I thought they would look lovely with a little hint of gold and a touch of Americana Sea Breeze&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dress-up-your-dinnerware.jpg"><img alt="Dress-up your dinnerware" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10354" height="759" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dress-up-your-dinnerware.jpg" width="543" /></a></p>
<h2><span style="color:#DAA520;">Supplies</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Some dinnerware that needs some dressing up.</li>
<li>Gold spray paint &#8211; I used <a href="http://www.krylon.com/products/premium_metallic/">Krylon Premium Gold</a></li>
<li>DecoArt<a href="http://www.decoart.com/cgi-bin/Products.cgi?Americana_Acrylics"> Americana Acrylic &#8211; Sea Breeze</a>&nbsp;<a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/DecoArt-Americana-Sea-Breeze.jpg">​</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/DecoArt-Americana-Sea-Breeze.jpg"><img alt="DecoArt Americana Sea Breeze" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10352" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/DecoArt-Americana-Sea-Breeze.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Painters Tape</li>
<li>Plastic Wrap</li>
<li>Sponge brush</li>
<li>Fine grit sand paper&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="color:#DAA520;">Instructions</span></h2>
<p>To begin, you need to mask all of the portions of your piece that you don&#39;t want painted. I only wanted to paint the handles of the salad spoons and the bottom of the goblets so I masked off a good portion of the items with plastic wrap and painters tape.</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Use-plastic-wrap-to-mask-your-surface-before-painting.jpg"><img alt="Use plastic wrap to mask your surface before painting" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10360" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Use-plastic-wrap-to-mask-your-surface-before-painting.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>Use the painters tape to create a a clean line for the spray paint. Next, use the gold spray paint and spray paint the selected areas of your piece.</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spray-with-gold-Krylon-spray-paint.jpg"><img alt="Spray with gold Krylon spray paint" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10358" height="442" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spray-with-gold-Krylon-spray-paint.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>I decided to use spray paint because I didn&#39;t want any brush lines in the gold portion of the project. I wanted it to look as much like metal as possible. Once the paint was dry, I taped it off again to create another line for the Sea Breeze paint with a little of the gold peaking out. Now for this layer of paint I didn&#39;t mind the brush lines. I wanted it to be rough and look like a fine almost coppery patina.</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Use-painters-tape-to-create-clean-lines-on-our-cup.jpg"><img alt="Use painters tape to create clean lines on our cup" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10359" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Use-painters-tape-to-create-clean-lines-on-our-cup.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>When the paint was dry I the sanded it lightly with super fine grain sand paper to show off the fabulous texture. It almost looks like aged copper. I love it!</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Fun-textures-with-DecoArt-paint.jpg"><img alt="Fun textures with DecoArt paint" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10356" height="343" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Fun-textures-with-DecoArt-paint.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>It really adds a fun look to these simple and inexpensive dinnerware items. Make sure you hand wash them from this point, but they should last for quite some time and add a fun look to your summer table.</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dressed-up-dinnerware-with-DecoArt.jpg"><img alt="Dressed-up dinnerware with DecoArt" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10355" height="400" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dressed-up-dinnerware-with-DecoArt.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>This is a fun project that you could even do with your kiddos this summer. Find some fun and inexpensive dinnerware or picnic items and let the kiddos go to town.</p>

<p>How do you add splashes of COLOR to your life? This year, that is the question I am going to answer for myself in Project Add Color. I don&#39;t know why, but I&#39;ve had such a hard time adding bright colors into my home decor. I&#39;ve been so afraid to commit to a color palette (paralyzed really). What on earth will I do when Pantone announces<a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/index.aspx?pg=21055"> the new color of the year</a> and it doesn&#39;t co-ordinate with the palette I had previously chosen? It sounds silly, but really! When you invest in decor for your home&#8211;and it IS an investment&#8211;how sad will you be when that color palette is no longer relevant? You don&#39;t want to be the one house on the block with a&nbsp;kitchen full of avocado appliances and an avocado porcelain sink when the new trend is white.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/How-do-you-add-a-splash-of-color-into-your-life.jpg"><img alt="How do you add a splash of color into your life?" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10349" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/How-do-you-add-a-splash-of-color-into-your-life.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>How do you take a blank space in your home like the one above and add a little color to it? I took some <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/04/whatever-craft-weekend.html">inspiration</a> that I&#39;ve found all over the place lately and gathered some fun fabrics and placed them into embroidery hoops for a fun little pop of color!</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/After-Photo.jpg"><img alt="After Photo" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9925" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/After-Photo.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>I peppered in a couple of other fun objects to give the display a little extra texture, like the mirror and framed print. It&#39;s amazing how simple it is to do&#8211;just a little fabric and a couple of gathered inexpensive pieces can add such life to a bland little corner!</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/before-and-after.jpg"><img alt="before and after" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9929" height="447" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/before-and-after.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>The same goes with fashion and so many other things in your life. How do you attack your wilder,&nbsp;more colorful side of life? How do you had a splash of color into your boring cuisine? How do you turn up the dial on your plain jane water and add a hint of flavor? Crystal Light has introduced a new line of products that can add a splash of color and flavor back into that lackluster water. The new <a href="http://goo.gl/9jz4R" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crystal Light Liquid</a> is a fabulous way to add that splash of color without the added calories.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The new Crystal Light Liquid comes in six different flavors: Iced Tea, Peach Bellini, Pomtini, Strawberry Lemonade, Mango Passion Fruit and&nbsp;Blueberry Raspberry. The flavor combinations are endless.</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/New-Liquid-Crystal-Light.jpg"><img alt="New Liquid Crystal Light" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9930" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/New-Liquid-Crystal-Light.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>I fell in love with the Peach Bellini, but quite honestly I think they are all fabulous. The nice thing is you have so much control over how you design your drink. You can add just a hint of flavor with a few drops or you can go extra bold with good squeeze. I have to say I&#39;m a middle of the road kind of girl. More than a splash, but not so bold it blows my socks off.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It&#39;s the same with your home decor. If you are feeling timid you can add just a few little splashes of color with a couple of throw pillows or you can be bold and add splashes of color EVERYWHERE!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;">Friday Flair Link Party //</span> Soooooo, this week started off a little odd. Hales a.k.a. Lil&#39;Whip was in a minor car accident&#8230; She&#39;s fine&#8230; but dealing with whip lash, which I&#39;m learning is no fun. We&#39;ve been busy going from doctor appointment, to doctor appointment. Poor girl. In the mean time I&#39;ve been working on some fun painting projects to share and I&#39;ve continued working on my backyard makeover. I can&#39;t wait to have that finished up&#8230; it&#39;s going to be so fun.

<p>Isn&#39;t it fun?! I love the contrast of the aqua and black with the fun rain drops&#8230; it&#39;s just stunning. I&#39;m getting ready to paint a few pieces and this has definatley helped me to start thinking outside the box.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;"><span style="font-size: 13px; ">Quaker&reg; Perfect Portions //&nbsp;</span></span>This is Hannah.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Hannah.jpg"><img alt="Hannah" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10309" height="649" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Hannah.jpg" width="600" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hannah has almost finished the 6th grade.</p>
<p>Hannah has come to the age where a little independence is quite fun.</p>
<p>You know that time&#8230; you almost have your first year of middle school under your belt. You&#39;re feeling pretty cool. The idea of spending the summer at the pool with your little brother and sister makes your skin crawl.</p>
<p>Hannah is definitely at that point in life.</p>
<p>She has big plans for the summer.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hannah loves to read, and we lucked out when moving here to Lincoln, we live right down the street from a library.</p>
<p>Hannah plans on taking her red bike and making several trips to the library this summer. Not to mention all kinds of adventures with her friends all over exploring our new neighborhood. We not only have a library, but we have parks, a pool, ice cream shops and all must be explored for sure on her red bike.</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Hannahs-Adventures.jpg"><img alt="Hannah's Adventures" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10305" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Hannahs-Adventures.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>With all this peddling around our neighborhood, Hannah is going to have to fuel-up for all that exploring. Luckily she takes after her Dad, the oatmeal lover. Her Dad wishes that oatmeal was the ONLY food group. They are a lot alike those two&#8230;</p>
<p>Now remember&#8230; Hannah is almost twelve&#8230; She likes to make her own decisions. That&#39;s what almost twelve is all about.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hannah was so excited when I introduced her to&nbsp;Quaker&reg; Perfect Portions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Quaker-Perfect-Portions.jpg"><img alt="Quaker Perfect Portions" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10307" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Quaker-Perfect-Portions.jpg" width="600" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Remember&#8230; She&#39;s almost twelve (she likes to remind me of that quite a bit.) She&#39;s not a &quot;kid&quot; anymore.</p>
<p>My stars, she&#39;s almost a third of the way through middle school&#8230; She&#39;s almost ready to vote and get her own apartment, right?</p>
<p>She&#39;s at that age where one packet of oatmeal is not quite enough to get her through until lunch, but two packets is just a little too much. That&#39;s why Quaker&reg; Perfect Portions is PERFECT for Hannah.</p>
<p>She gets to decide how much she wants, and it still has the ease of just adding hot water like the typical instant oatmeal. &nbsp;Quaker&reg; Perfect Portions Oatmeal has no sugar added&#8230; That way, Hannah can have total control as to how sweet she wants her oatmeal. Let&#39;s be honest&#8230; She likes it a little sweeter than her Dad, who is the health nut. Her Dad also likes HUGE portions of oatmeal&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#39;t know about you, but I am getting so excited about the weather warming up. With warmer temperatures come some of my favorite things&#8230; Flowers start to bloom, the days become longer, grass becomes green again, waking up to song birds in the morning, spring rain showers and the sun on my face.&nbsp;&nbsp;Farmer&#39;s markets start to open&nbsp;and fresh spring and summer fruit comes into season &#8211; by far one of my favorite parts of the spring and summer. You just feel like you are snacking brighter when you have a good juicy strawberry as a treat.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, when the temperatures rise we all start to crave cooler treats. It doesn&#39;t matter how old I get, I still enjoy sharing a popsicle&nbsp;with my kiddos. More than anything these days, when selecting my cool treat, I gravitate towards fruit bars that are packed full of real fruit just like Edy&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="http://goo.gl/jBSMR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Outshine</a> frozen fruit bars&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Edys-Outshine-fruit-bars-with-WhipperBerry-6.jpg"><img alt="Edy's Outshine fruit bars with WhipperBerry-6" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10036" height="400" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Edys-Outshine-fruit-bars-with-WhipperBerry-6.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, my family had an opportunity to try the&nbsp;<a href="http://goo.gl/jBSMR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Outshine</a> Fruit Bars and we were transported straight&nbsp;to summer even though the temperatures were still in the 30&#39;s here in Lincoln. I&#39;ve tried several kinds of fruit bars through the years and I LOVED these. No matter what flavor you select, and there are many, you will have no&nbsp;doubt that you are enjoying fresh fruit. My daughter Emily even said, &quot;check out this huge chunk of strawberry, it&#39;s sooooo good!&quot; We tried four different flavors&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Edys-Outshine-fruit-bars-with-WhipperBerry-5.jpg"><img alt="Edy's Outshine fruit bars with WhipperBerry-5" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10035" height="363" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Edys-Outshine-fruit-bars-with-WhipperBerry-5.jpg" width="578" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I can truly say, I loved them all. Each one of them tasted like fresh picked fruit and basically that&#39;s pretty much what they are. They are a much better for you option when it comes to sweet treats. The Strawberry&nbsp;<a href="http://goo.gl/jBSMR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Outshine</a> bar has 70 calories and 0 grams of fat. How can you pass up that fresh picked goodness?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify; "><span style="color:#DAA520;">Better Life Bags Giveaway //</span>&nbsp;So, funny story&#8230; &nbsp;a few weeks ago on Instagram, I discovered a bag and I fell in LOVE! Then I went to <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/04/whatever-craft-weekend.html">Kansas</a> and met Ashley from <a href="http://www.littlemissmomma.com">Little Miss Momma</a> and she had one of the amazing bags and I fell even deeper in love&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Giveaway-from-Better-Life-Bags.jpg"><img alt="Giveaway from Better Life Bags" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10281" height="828" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Giveaway-from-Better-Life-Bags.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">The bag was just so lovely, we all were joking about how we were going to sneak it home. Then when I arrived home, it was one of the first things I checked out&#8230; It was the <a href="http://www.shopbetterlifebags.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&amp;path=60&amp;product_id=216">Brynnda</a> from <a href="http://www.shopbetterlifebags.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&amp;path=60">Better Life Bags</a> and then I fell into an even deeper LOVE! When I found out what Better Life Bags was all about, I knew I needed one and I needed to share them with all of you. They have such an amazing product and a wonderful mission.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Rebecca the owner of <a href="http://betterlifebags.com">Better Life Bags</a> started her company totally on a fluke. After searching for a diaper bag that was her style, she decided that the only way to accomplish that would be to make her own. She did just that, and posted a picture on Facebook. All of her friends went crazy over the bag and people started ordering them left and right. A handmade business was born!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Rebecca knew that if she was going to create a business like this, she wanted to give back in some way. Her family had moved to a economical challenged area in Detroit and she decided that she wanted to help women who were having issues making a living, women who really didn&#39;t have any marketable skills and who couldn&#39;t really provide for their families.&nbsp;She trained them, rented out&nbsp;equipment and paid each of them a fair wage and now they all have better lives. That is how Better Life Bags was created. I admire women who&nbsp;create not only a handmade business, but a handmade business with a cause. &nbsp;I LOVE how she has taken an idea and turned it into a mission. Here&#39;s a little video about her mission&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wC5oitpyrlA?list=UUSPFZkCd0PFqhq3MpT3mCKw" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">I was so excited when I finally received my very own Better Life Bag! And I thought, wouldn&#39;t this be a perfect giveaway for Mother&#39;s Day. The day when we honor all women. I chatted with Rebecca and she agreed, so this week to celebrate Mother&#39;s Day Rebecca and I are giving away one Better Life Bag to one of you!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;">Friday Flair Link Party //</span> It&#39;s Friday friends!! This week has been so crazy weather wise. Monday and Tuesday I was outside spray painting my heart out for a new project that I&#39;m working on. &nbsp;It was sunny and warm, perfect Spray painting weather. Wednesday, the Mother Nature decided that she wasn&#39;t quite finished with winter, and Thursday morning we woke up to snow. It was actually quite pretty with the green against the lovely white snow&#8230;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;">Spring Wreath DIY //</span>&nbsp;WOWZA that&#39;s quite a bit to have all in one post!!&nbsp;I have been working on my Spring Vignette for a little bit. Gathering treasures and such, tweaking and rearranging.&nbsp;I finally have a fun grouping to share with you today that&#39;s inspired by my Whatever Craft Weekend. Of course it starts with my <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2012/12/diy-winter-white-wreath-tutorial.html">Winter White Wreath</a> that I will be using all year. I&#39;ve used it for <a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/WhipperBerry-Christmas-Vingette.jpg">Christmas</a>, The&nbsp;<a href="http://whipperberry.com/2012/12/ring-in-your-new-year-with-styled-by-tori-spelling.html">New Year</a>, <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/02/valentine-vignette-with-decoart-giveaway.html">Valentine&#39;s Day</a> and now I&#39;ve updated it for Spring!</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Wreath-from-WhipperBerry.jpg"><img alt="Spring Wreath from WhipperBerry" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10239" height="880" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Wreath-from-WhipperBerry.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">All I did was add some fancy yarn and a fabric banner&nbsp;to the wreath. The fabric garland was&nbsp;made by my friend Amy from <a href="http://amerooniedesigns.blogspot.com">Ameroonie Designs</a>. I had been trying to find time to put together a fabric garland for the wreath and just hadn&#39;t found the time. Luckily, Amy was handing little fabric garlands out to her customers at the <a href="http://www.thequeenbeemarket.com">Queen Bee Market</a> last month at <a href="http://snapcreativity.com">SNAP</a> and I was sooooo excited&#8230; I&nbsp;didn&#39;t have to worry about that element anymore!&nbsp;Not that they are hard to make, the issue for me would be to find my sewing machine in the sea of boxes still in my garage. We are in a temporary home right now, so there is no need to unpack everything. Thanks Amy for the rescue!!&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Now, for the full vignette. It&nbsp;was inspired by my <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/04/whatever-craft-weekend.html">Whatever Craft Weekend</a>&#8230; Yes, I will be trying to live in that fabulous weekend for the rest of my life I think. Almost everything in the display came from that magical weekend&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Vingnette-from-WhipperBerry.jpg"><img alt="Spring Vingnette from WhipperBerry" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10238" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Vingnette-from-WhipperBerry.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Isn&#39;t it cheerful and fun?! Part of the Whatever Craft Weekend is a fun Junking trip. Meg &amp; Kimberlee have some amazing treasure troves that they share with all of their guest and I had a ball finding all kinds of goodies.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Lunch-at-the-barn-Whatever-Craft-Weekend.jpg"><img alt="Lunch at the barn Whatever Craft Weekend" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10243" height="806" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Lunch-at-the-barn-Whatever-Craft-Weekend.jpg" width="700" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">Here are <a href="http://www.littlemissmomma.com">Ashley</a>, <a href="http://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com">Mique</a>, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/barnowlprimitives">Kristi</a>, <a href="http://www.pamgarrison.com">Pam</a> and several other friends on our junking tour, Kristi is going ga gah over all the amazing wood available at this amazing junk barn!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">I curated a group of fun smaller items like these&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WhipperBerry-typewriter.jpg"><img alt="WhipperBerry typewriter" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10245" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WhipperBerry-typewriter.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">Many of these goodies made it into my vignette&#8230; and, I even found a large item that I am head over heels in love with.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/shopping-at-the-barn-whatever-craft-weekend.jpg"><img alt="shopping at the barn whatever craft weekend" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10244" height="321" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/shopping-at-the-barn-whatever-craft-weekend.jpg" width="700" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">Check out that lovely, chippy bench that Ashley is testing out&#8230; yep, it came home with me!! Several friends found some amazing quilts in our antique tour. All of them just divine. I&#39;m not sure if there is anything more fun than junking with several fun friends!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">Back to my Whatever Vignette&#8230; Here are some of my little elements&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Vintage-Typewriter-with-sign-from-Katy-Girl-Design.jpg"><img alt="Vintage Typewriter with sign from Katy Girl Design" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10242" height="710" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Vintage-Typewriter-with-sign-from-Katy-Girl-Design.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">This typewriter was one of my favorite finds&#8230; it was only $30, a total deal! I&#39;ve paired it with my sign from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/katygirldesigns">Katy Girl Designs</a>. You have to run over and check out Katy&#39;s shop. Its lovely!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Vintage-Canon-Camera.jpg"><img alt="Vintage Canon Camera" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10240" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Vintage-Canon-Camera.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">Next, I have a fun biscuit tin as a base for my vintage fan and Canon camera. The camera belonged to my Grandfather and I love having it out on display. It reminds me of his curiosity and love of life and it makes me happy to see it sitting there all day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/antique-glass-with-felted-foxes-felt-balls.jpg"><img alt="antique glass with felted foxes felt balls" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10236" height="724" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/antique-glass-with-felted-foxes-felt-balls.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">I have always been in love with felted balls and have made many projects with them, but I was dying when we opened a whole package from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FeltFoxes">FeltedFoxes</a> during our&nbsp;craft time at Meg&#39;s.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#39;ve made&nbsp;felt balls&#8230;&nbsp;I even have a <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2011/11/holiday-felted-wool-garland-tutorial.html">tutorial</a> on how to make them.&nbsp;They aren&#39;t easy and take quite a bit of time and effort to &nbsp;make. I think I will just order them from now on from FeltedFoxes and save the time and effort! I love how they look in my emerald Depression Glass&#8230; just stunning!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Create-sign-from-Little-Branches.jpg"><img alt="Create sign from Little Branches" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10237" height="445" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Create-sign-from-Little-Branches.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">I LOVE my new <a href="http://www.shoplittlebranches.com/#/shop/4569644168">Little Branches</a> CREATE sign. It&#39;s just so perfect for my house. I love the colors and the gold accents! It&#39;s just so cheery!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Vintage-Kodak-Camera.jpg"><img alt="Vintage Kodak Camera" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10241" height="585" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Vintage-Kodak-Camera.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">I used &nbsp;fabric in old embroidery hoops to add color and texture to the display and peppered in more cameras from my vintage camera collection. &nbsp; I&#39;m just so in love with this display. It may stay up for a few months while I soak in all the vintage goodness!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Vingnette-from-WhipperBerry.jpg"><img alt="Spring Vingnette from WhipperBerry" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10238" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Spring-Vingnette-from-WhipperBerry.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;">Silk Tastemaker Challenge //</span>&nbsp;It&#39;s interesting how little everyday experiences can draw you back to big, colorful, vibrant, life changing experiences from the past. I was recently given the opportunity to try Silk&#39;s new Fruit &amp; Protein drink and then asked the question, &quot;How would I describe the taste of the new drink?&quot;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The very first thing that popped into my head was a photo I had taken a few years back while I was walking through the streets of Paris taking in all the sights, sounds, smells &amp; flavors of my favorite city. Paris is known for their street markets and all of the markets have these out of this world fruit stands. Fruit like nothing we get here in the United States. Beautiful, scrumptious berries that are a feast not only for your mouth but for your eyes as well&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/My-Silk-Experience.jpg"><img alt="My Silk Experience" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10229" height="742" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/My-Silk-Experience.jpg" width="600" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They would have cart after cart filled with berries of various types and they were just stunning to look at, but even better to eat. The berries had a vibrant, fresh quality that I hadn&#39;t ever experienced before. Maybe it was the magic of Paris, but they tasted sweet, bold &amp; alive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WhipperBerrys-Paris-Market-Berries.jpg"><img alt="WhipperBerry's Paris Market Berries" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10231" height="400" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WhipperBerrys-Paris-Market-Berries.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>Just imagine, you&#39;ve loaded your market basket with all of your favorite berries and then stopped off at the dairy cart and grabbed a pint of ice cold cream. When you arrive home you fill a bowl with berries, a dash of sugar and poured some cream over the top. That my friends is pure Heaven if you ask me.&nbsp;</p>
<p>That is exactly what I thought of when I tried the new Silk Fruit &amp; Protein drink for the first time&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Silk-Strawberry-and-Banana-Fruit-and-Protein-Drink.jpg"><img alt="Silk Strawberry and Banana Fruit and Protein Drink" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10230" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Silk-Strawberry-and-Banana-Fruit-and-Protein-Drink.jpg" width="600" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My kiddos just adore it, and they are PICKY!! My little Gage is especially picky and won&#39;t eat any kind of protein other peanut butter. That&#39;s it! He LOVES his Silk Fruit &amp; Protein and I know that he is finally getting some healthy soy protein into is little growing body. Not only that, but he is getting 50% more calcium than milk with his Silk as well. Not to mention without all the added fat. Total WIN!&nbsp;</p>
<p>So what about you? Silk has all kinds of flavors for you and your family to try! They have their new Iced Lattes for you coffee lovers, plus they have vanilla and chocolate too. Have you tried Silk lately?</p>
<p>Below you can visit their facebook page and download a coupon to try a new Silk flavor, then you can visit their Tastemaker Challenge on Facebook and describe the new flavor in your own words. One person will win Silk for a year and have a chance to be a Silk Tastemaker!!&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#DAA520;">Gold Accented Picture Frame with DecoArt //</span> I have fallen in LOVE with gold accents! They seem to be all the rage right now, and I am totally jumping on &nbsp;the trend bandwagon. Yesterday I had the opportunity to take <a href="http://www.decoart.com/cgi-bin/Products.cgi?Dazzling_Metallics">DecoArt&#39;s Dazzling Metallics</a> for a test drive while I dressed-up an old picture frame&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-3.jpg"><img alt="DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Gold Accented Frame-3" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10158" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-3.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>I had this old frame from Target that I had spray painted blue (another new fav) but it needed a little extra love. Recently I had added some gold accents to an <a href="http://whipperberry.com/2013/04/gold-accented-bowl-refashion-project-relove.html">old wood bowl</a> and thought it would be fun to dress-up the frame the same way. The lovely part of this project is that it was soooo easy! You know me, nothing too challenging here. I chose DecoArts Dazzling Metallics Champagne Gold for my paint and set to work&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-1.jpg"><img alt="DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Gold Accented Frame-1" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10156" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-1.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>The frame has flower like petal grooves that were carved out and would act as a perfect natural place for a gold petal accent. Carefully, I filled in the grooves with the metallic paint&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-2.jpg"><img alt="DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Gold Accented Frame-2" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10157" height="400" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-2.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>That&#39;s all there was to it. I filled in all the grooves and let it dry and then added a second coat. After a few hours of drying time, my new frame was ready for display!</p>
<p><a href="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-3.jpg"><img alt="DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Gold Accented Frame-3" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10158" height="900" src="http://whipperberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DecoArt-Dazzling-Metallics-Gold-Accented-Frame-3.jpg" width="600" /></a></p>
<p>I added one of my favorite Instagram photos of my sweet Emily and her friend and put it on display with my gold accented bowl. They make a perfect pair!</p>
<p>Do you have anything laying around the house that could use a little gold pick me up? You&#39;ll be surprised how much it can add to a room! Check out <a href="http://www.decoart.com">DecoArts</a> full line of Dazzling Metallics for all kinds of inspiration.</p>
