Right now our windows are open and I’m enjoying the fresh air or another beautiful day. We’re supposed to get up to 80 today! It’s a stark difference from the frigid air that we just experienced on a trip to New Hampshire (pics to come), but a welcome one, I assure you.

Are you ready for your weekend to start? Here are some happy links to add to the bliss that is today. :)

First off, you have to take a look at these Peanut Butter S’mores Turnovers….just saying it makes my head spin. They look like heaven, but I haven’t ventured to make them yet. My friend is planning on making them for a dinner she’s having this weekend, and I’m so anxious to see how they turn out

I absolutely love this next idea from Craftiness is Not Optional. My girls love dressing up and their dress-up area is beginning to look like it exploded! I think this would be a fabulous idea to help keep things tidy, and it doesn’t look too difficult for my handy husband.

And, speaking of kid-storage solutions, how about this beautiful way to keep and display your child’s artwork from A Thousand Words? Our countertops always end up piled high with work that our kids lovingly created. While I do frame some individual pieces, I’m at a loss for what to do with the others. I hate the idea of throwing any of their artwork away, but there’s only so much room in our house for storage! I love how they have so many works displayed at once. It looks so beautiful arranged together! (And another lovely example can be found here).

And lastly, I have to share these two tutorials I came across showing how to make your own buttons. I think homemade buttons would really add a little something special to any project. These little twig buttons from Rhythm of the Home Blog are a particular favorite, but I also love how bright and cheery the ceramic buttons are that Jennifer made.
