Kathleen's Pick

I'm always looking for fun new ways to celebrate summer with food and drink. That's why I love Crystal of Crystal & Co.'s Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes. While she whips them up from scratch, I had an idea -- why not use ready-made cupcakes and make it an even easier summer party treat? Either way, I was intrigued by the idea and plan to make some for sure this summer. Drop by and check out the fun, yummy goodness!

Cecilia's Pick

If you appreciate a fabulous new tutorial, you're going to adore this Coastal Calm in a Jar: Easy Jellyfish Air Plant Terrarium shared by Susan of From Bay to Beach. Creative? Check! Nature inspired? Check! Beautiful results? Check, check, check! This beachy craft ticks all the boxes so pay our friend a visit and see for yourself!
