Find of the Week
We’ve all seen the automatic plant waterers. Dollar Tree has the round plastic ones, but now you can decorate your planters with plant waterers in different shapes like a butterfly, a bird or a mushroom. Cute!
Quick Tip
I’ve used window clings on candles before, but I thought these turned out especially cute. All I did was pull two small-sized images from a sheet of Easter window clings and stick them onto the LED pillar candles.
The window clings stick on the waxy candle surface without the need for tape. Takes no time at all and looks like something you bought in a store.

I thought it would be fun to replace the regular checkers on my game board with heart-shaped wood pieces for Valentine’s Day. I’ve had these wooden hearts in my stash for some time. I believe I found them at Dollarama last year.
I hesitated to paint the plain hearts black, it didn’t seem appropriate somehow, but you could add flat Valentine stickers to them for a hit of colour.See the tutorial for this homemade checkerboard that I made using Tumbling Tower Blocks.
