Plant your flowers in your boots!

Do you think this is a creative way of planting your flowers; in a pair of boots? Plant beautiful flowers in a simple everyday item: your old boots! :-)

  • This basement office now has a beautiful view of a small waterfall. Open the window to enjoy the sound! 3
  • Creative use of rock provides inspiring scenery. 1
  • Isn't this view much better than the ordinary corrugated piece of metal you typically see out a basement window?
  • A mix of plants and rock was used to provide a fantastic view.
  • Cleaning the windows becomes more enjoyable, too. No more stooping into a spider-ridden window well.

  • Sage Seed
  • Sage Leaves

Sage is a perennial herb it is the same family as thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

It has a long tradition of culinary and medical use.a

When you cook your favorite pasta, think about chopping up some Sage leaves; it enhances ...»

the flavor of the pasta and it garnishes the dish. Enjoy!

Sage is also known for its natural use as mouthwash because its tannins are thought to help kill the bacteria that cause gingivitis. Sage has traditionally been used to treat canker sores, bleeding gums, sore throat, memory boosts, and much more.

Don't worry if you think that it's too difficult to grow. It's actually really easy to grow; almost carefree.

  • Blooming Spring trees decorated with colorful Easter eggs!
Pick some up at your local Michael's, supermarket or pharmacy and hang them on trees around your house. It's a great family project  to do with your kids! 4
  • Giant papier -mache Easter Eggs- making a papier-mache is bit complicated, but there is a simple way to create your giant eggs with your own style by simply grabbing a bunch of loose-leaf papers and crumpling them up into balls. Tie all the balls together by wrapping tape around them. Finally, take  large colorful wrapping paper or create your own design with craft paper, then wrap the balls. Fun ribbons and bows will add something special! 1
  • Bunny surrounded by colorful Easter eggs! We love bunnies! All you need is a bunch of colorful plastic eggs, a life size mother bunny, and the perfect area for her to get the most attention! 1
  • Easter eggs under blooming Springs tree-It's as easy as it looks! Find your nearest craft store and buy those colorful large plastic Easter eggs! A selection of 3-6 is ideal when decorating an outside space, like the beautiful tree seen here. Locate the most desirable section in your garden and arrange accordingly! 1
  • A Scene of Easter Celebration -What's cuter than a bunny hiding behind a shrub? Not much else! Find your nearest craft store (such as Michaels, AC Moore or some local pharmacy)  and look for a medium sized bunny decoration, (we don't want it to get lost behind the large shrub). Find additional decorations such as colorful Easter eggs made out of ribbon (use a metal wire and wrap with the colorful ribbon)  or small plastic Easter eggs. The combination makes for an adorable scenery!
  • An Easter bunny hiding behind a shrub!
  • Decorative tulips with friendly duck couple! I love this cute  duck couple. 1
  • Little Easter bunnies!
  • Spring is here! If you have a bare mantel and need some color, pick up a set of tulips and a cute character couple to create a sweet moment!

Wishing all Hometalkers - Happy Easter !!!!!!
