  • Poison ivy ~ avoid this if you are allergic.

Do You Know What Poison Ivy Looks Like?

Last year I had poison ivy 3 times ~ it was horrible. After finally figuring out what it looked like I wanted to share what to AVOID!

    Leaves of three, let it be. Old saying regarding poison ivy. ...»

    I used absorbine jr on mine and it helped with the itching. Fool the senses, ice packs, menthol such as the absorbine jr. I was okay cutting all my poison ivy, it was when the puppies were being petted by me that I got it, BAD. My two puppies had rolled in the cuttings from the poison ivy so the poison ivy oil was all on their fur. Don't ever burn poison ivy, it can get into your lungs.

  • This is the paintbrush I almost threw away because the paint had been dried on there for almost a year.
  • Now it looks like this ~ and I couldn't believe how easy it was to clean.

  • I save my natural dyes in Mason Jars in my refrigerator so they're handy when I want them.
  • The delicate dusky brown of the dye is a perfect combination with some faux robin blue mini eggs.
  • The eggs look so natural!

  • This was my anchor piece ~ a vintage pot from the Thrift Store ~ perfect for the yellow and white flowers.
  • The color of these little speckled eggs perfectly matched a container I already had and the little yellow pipecleaner peep was added just for fun.
  • I placed some fresh yellow flowers in a Thrift Store milk glass vase and tucked in a cloth bunny.
