  1. Gorgeous! One of the things I plan on doing more often this year is to have fresh flowers displayed in my home. The loveliness they offer is priceless.

  2. Flowers! I love to arrange my generous bounty every year. My husband says that if I keep putting flowers in, the kids won’t have to mow the lawn. I agreed. Flowers are more beautiful than grass, anyways. ????????????????

  7. Stunning. I have made it a priority to have fresh flowers in my home almost every day. I admit, however, that my bouquets are pretty common and mundane. I’d love to win this book – it would step up my displays!

  8. What a gorgeous cover. Looking at a foot of snow, I would love to have this book to remind me that spring will come.

  16. Whilst I don’t have access to beautiful flowers in my home each day – I could simply display this book and turn the page each day to a fresh new page and a fresh new bunch – thereby brightening my home and my spirit.

  24. From the first crocus of spring to the last mum of fall there is color outside and when plants are moved in for winter there is blooms of all kinds! I enjoy the color and the surprise of every blossom. One very special flower is my night blooming Cerius, each time it blooms I am thankful for pictures… Smells… And sight

This DIY Board Game Table Made Me Want to Dust Off My Cricut

You know that feeling when you see a project and instantly start mentally rearranging your whole weekend to fit it in? That was me with The Carpenter’s Daughter’s DIY Board Game Table tutorial. I mean, it’s so good. Functional, stylish, and honestly—such a conversation starter.

It’s the kind of piece that looks high-end, but she breaks it down step-by-step in a way that makes it totally achievable, even if you’re not a woodworking wizard. And if you’ve got a Cricut machine (like I do, gathering dust in the corner), this is your cue to plug it in and actually use it. She used hers to create the game board top, and it adds such a clean, custom finish.

I never really thought about how handy a built-in game board could be—no more shuffling Monopoly pieces off the kitchen table when it’s time for dinner! It’s perfect for families, game nights with friends, or even just a cool coffee table alternative with a little hidden fun.

What I Love About This Project:

  • It doubles as a gorgeous piece of furniture.

  • You can totally customize the games—checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, you name it.

  • It’s an awesome way to up your Cricut game (seriously, I’ve been inspired).

  • And let’s be honest—it’s a great excuse to get crafty and competitive.

If you’re looking for a project with style and function, check out the full tutorial here. Fair warning though—you’ll probably end up wanting to make more than one.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to charge my Cricut and pretend I know how to play chess again…
