With trends gravitating more and more toward nature, it's not surprising that green is the color du jour for showers.

Way up in the Pacific Northwest is an Island. It's so beautiful here.
One of my favorite parts when driving around with my husband is getting to look at all the beautiful houses along our routes (when I'm by myself I tend to swerve a little if I look too much, hehe). I love to "window shop" and see all the amazing houses here in the Hudson Valley. Poughkeepsie, where I used to live, has some amazing Victorian houses that make it almost worth living in the not-so-fun city of Poughkeepsie. So of course it would not be too big a leap to know that I love to look at exteriors of houses on the net as well. And where on the net? Why Pinterest of course. Today I realized I have 187 followers on Pinterest, that is a heck of a lot more followers over there than here (but who is counting?). So let me highlight some of the fun my followers are getting over there HERE. Below are seven of my favorite exteriors from my board apply named "Exteriors." I decided to go with the theme of spring and gardens. {source} I love wisteria. My father grew some amazing wisteria in his old house, and he had dreams of growing wisteria on the exterior of my stucco home. I would love that. I want my house to be yellow with the purple vine all over it. {source} This house just makes me happy. I love the little cottage with the daffodils in the yard. {source} I have an obsession with wrap around porches, I just love them. I especially love when said porch has a curve in it. I have always loved these kinds of houses ever since I was a kid. {source} This picture just makes me see a whole story. I can see the garden and ocean beyond the house. And of course, there is that wrap around porch. I love the walk too. {source} I pinned this picture for one reason: the pergola over the garage. That is just a brilliant idea. If I had a garage this is what I would want to do. {source} This house is done really tastefully well. I love the red accents and the roof is just fabulous. See a trend with the porches? {source} This house was featured on bhg.com and I just love it. It has the porch I love with a nice big section on the corner, the gardens are fabulous and the shutters are so adorable. Except for the tropical palm trees (because it's too cold up here) I would want this house. I hope you enjoyed my virtual drive around the neighborhood. Maybe one day I will take my camera and shoot some of the houses I have "stalked" (shhhh the owners don't know I rubber neck it every time I drive by) in Poughkeepsie, NY.

I've recently been looking into making more Chinese New Year crafts together as a way to celebrate the upcoming holiday. With my current infatuation with watercolor crafts, we recently made these watercolor painted paper fans together. Watercolor Painted Paper Fans This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support! Our Favorite Chinese New Year Books Prior to making the craft, we had already been reading books explaining the holiday. Here are some of our favorites! The Runaway Wok Bringing In the New Year My First Chinese New Year Lion Dancer: Ernie Wan's Chinese New Year Celebrating Chinese New Year Is it just me or are watercolor crafts like the best? The colors are always so vibrant and it's easy to make lovely, colorful art (and it doesn't require much clean up or prep too- score!) We've recently been going through some transitions over here when I gave birth to my second son. He's been such a gift to our family, but navigating transitions (even good ones) have never been my strong point. Luckily, painting and crafting make me feel happy... so I really enjoyed making these beautiful fans! Materials Needed: Ok, all you need for this craft are: Paper (We use drawing paper for the watercolors, but you can just use plain old computer paper too if you decide to go another route.) Other drawing tools (Markers, Crayons, these cool twistable crayons, Sharpies) Stapler Tape Let's Make Some Watercolor Painted Paper Fans You could go 3 routes when making these fans. Option 1: You could just draw/paint whatever comes to mind.... I made this design by drawing a bunch of dots randomly on the page with Sharpie marker and then connecting them with lines to make triangles. I find geometric shapes to be quite modern and aesthetically pleasing, don't you? Then, I just painted all the shapes in. Option 2: Plan a specific Design- Think in halves! Or, you could try to make a specific design on the fan. We'll be folding these fans in half, so imagine the paper divided in half and draw two different designs on each half. I also wanted to make a dragon fan for Chinese New year, so I drew this pattern out. (You can download it over here Chinese New Year Dragon Printable Fan ). When it's folded it makes a completed dragon fan. My son really liked this one, so he spent most of the time coloring it in... and then telling me that he didn't want to turn it into a fan. Oh well! Once you've finished your design, accordion fold it. Then, fold it in half. Staple yourself a handle and tape the two sides together. Spread your fan out and admire your completed design! Oh! Here's what the stripey design looked like folded. I went a bit crazy with painting and made several. Aren't they pretty? Option 3: Fold first, then paint! And... if you want to, you could also just fold up a bunch of these first and then paint them. That's another option too! (The stripey fan on the lower right corner was painted that way.) Another cute fan craft: Now if you liked making this paper fan craft, you should also check out my folding popsicle stick fans. They're a bit more work, but they also are a bit cooler because you can open and close them! Hope you have a fun time making these with your kiddos. Let's Keep in Contact! You can always find more fun ideas on my Pinterest, Facebook, or Instagram accounts! Happy making!
