BE MY GUEST: Beach Vignette by An Extraordinary Day
Every summer growing up, I spent time at the beach. It's my favorite place in all the world. I can close my eyes and dream of splashing waves and sand between my toes.... Ahhhh.... All the dreaming in the world just might not get either of us to the beach. No worries... We can create a beach vignette. Don't roll your eyes....it really is a sweet band-aid solution. And it's super easy to do.
Have you ever noticed play sand for sale at the garden center? When you do...be sure to buy a bag. Yes...it may be more than you need, but I'm pretty certain that once you have your bag of sand, you'll be glad you bought it (and it certainly won't break the bank). Plus, you'll find lots of ways to use that sand.

So, onto the reason I'm here today! To share a tasty (seriously, OMG) recipe for Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies! This idea came to me after standing in front of the vending machine at my office, indecisive between the raspberry thumbprint cookies and the peanut butter and cracker sandwiches. All it took was finding an old handwritten recipe of my mom's to kick me into gear!

BE MY GUEST: Watercolor Projects & Printables by Persia Lou
Hey there Homework readers! My name is Alexis, and I am excited to be here filling in for Carolyn today! I blog over at Persia Lou where I write about my latest crafty, crochet, or DIY adventures.
Lately, I have been really into watercolors. I love the layered, translucent look of watercolor. They can be a bit frustrating to work with sometimes because they can be a bit difficult to control, but that element of the unexpected is kind of what makes them so much fun!

BE MY GUEST: 10 Summer Projects by bliss bloom {blog}
Hi Everyone! I hope you're having a great week. I'm Melanie and I share craft and creative ideas at bliss bloom {blog}. A big "Thank You" to Carolyn for inviting me over! homework is one of my favorite creative blogs and I love all of the innovative ideas and beautifully crafted projects that are shared here.
Let's talk about Summer... I'm not sure if it's just me, but crafting in the Summer is sometimes a challenge. There are just a few holidays to craft around and, for me personally, with my kids out of school, my blog time is usually pre-empted by family time. Honestly though, this is a good thing because stepping away from routine usually gets the creative juices flowing. Right? So now is a great time to think outside the box and try out new materials and ideas.
Here's a Round-Up of some of my favorite Summer Projects--
photo vases | egg carton succulent + roses | lyrics stenciled pillow | milk jug water lilies + votives | fern coasters | alcohol ink vases | craft punch journals | stone trivet | flag table runner | water color banner card

BE MY GUEST: Poured Paint Vase by Little Red Window
Hi everyone! I'm Cassie from Little Red Window, I am a former architect, craft addict, artist, Etsy shop owner and mom to one very busy preschooler. I was so excited when Carolyn asked me to guest post while she's on vacation and I thought I'd share one of my favorite projects with you today! It all started when I realized I had too many boring florist vases. You know, the free ones that come when you get sent flowers?
It's not that I get sent flowers a lot but after 15 years of living on my own (omg, that makes me feel old!) and some big life events like having a baby and a death in the family, we'd acquired quite a few and I got a little tired of looking at them. I can rarely leave anything be for too long in our house. So I tried a quick little spruce and now these simple (and free!) florist vases are some of my favorite things on my shelves!

BE MY GUEST: Raspberry Coconut Lollies by Twigg Studios
Hello Friends! I’m in and out traveling a lot lately. I was in Anaheim, CA the past three weekends (no, not at Disneyland), Irvine, CA two weeks ago at my son’s new college and this past weekend another three days in Anaheim (no, not at Disneyland – sad face). I’m barely going to have time to do laundry and then I’m heading to Houston, Texas for my son’s big Junior National competition. Seriously, I don’t know if I’m coming or going lately. In the meantime, I’ve lined up some of the most talented and creative bloggers to share their amazing projects with you.
First up is Aimee from Twigg Studios. To say I’m a fan of Aimee’s culinary skills is a huge understatement. Aimee creates amazing dishes and then presents them to us like beautiful artwork. She has a signature look and I can spot one of her creations easily.
Aimee is from Devon in England. She shares crafts and recipes at Twigg Studios which is her passion.

Be My Guest: The Silly Pearl
Happy Fourth of July everyone! I hope you all enjoy the holiday - if you’re here in the U.S. If not, well, happy Thursday to everyone else. Today, while I’m still away, I have the wonderful and adorable Steph from The Silly Pearl holding down the fort.
Hello! My name is Steph and I write over at The Silly Pearl about the crafts I make and the thrifting I do in between cuddles with my six year old twin girls. I am so honored to be posting here on Homework today, as Carolyn is such a wonderful friend and great supporter of her fellow bloggers! And you all know about her amazing style, of course!
Is it the 4th of July already? Time to make a new wreath for my front door. I’m so excited to share it with you my Patriotic Sunburst Wreath today.
I had recently made a larger sunburst wreath in more pastel-y colors for the spring, and I had just enough wood pieces left (game pieces from the thrift store) to make a smaller version of it in patriotic colors. I used a small wreath form from the craft store to anchor everything together.

Today, I'm sharing an amazing cookie recipe that I've been making for years. I love these cookies so much because they are not just chewy but also crispy! How, you ask? They are nicely chewy in the middle but sweet and crispy on the outside.

Be My Guest: town and country living
Friends ~ I’m out of town for a few days and have some great guests lined up to share some wonderful creativity with you. Today, please welcome Jennifer from Town and Country Living.
Hello Everyone! My name is Jennifer and I blog over at Town and Country Living. I'm so thrilled to be guest posting here at Homework! I live in a circa 1875 farmhouse and love the casual approach that farmhouse decorating brings to our busy world. Today, I want to share with you a peek into my home with its simple and easy style.
Plants play a big role in my home and plant choice is critical to lending the right casual touch. Tropical plants look more exotic while a simple Ivy is better for a cottage look. White bead board makes a great farmhouse backdrop for any vignette!

Be My Guest: The Taylor House
Friends, I’m away for a few days and have some wonderful guests lined up to share fantastic crafts, décor, recipes and more with you. And what better way to start off than with chocolate! Please welcome Chrissy from The Taylor House .
Hi, everyone! It’s Chrissy from The Taylor House! I am so excited to be sharing some of my family’s favorite Chocolate dessert recipes with you today. I have picked ten of our favorites that range from brownies to hot chocolate and all of them contain our favorite ingredient – Chocolate!
I love trying new recipes or creating my own new chocolate version of a recipe for my family. My boys love it when I make desserts and they seem to always be requesting desserts with either chocolate, peanut butter or caramel. So, I have quite a list of chocolate dessert recipes in my file and have tried to share them with my readers and fans. I think that it is my mission in life to make as many delicious looking and tasting recipes as I can!
What are your favorite dessert recipes? Do you always make them the same or do you change them up and try new things? Does your favorites include chocolate or do you prefer peanut butter or maybe even fruit? Do you prefer a cookie type dessert or more of a cake type dessert?

Be My Guest: vanessa of nifty thrifty things
Hi friends,
I'm still away but you will love today's guest. I'm so thrilled to have Vanessa of {nifty thrifty things} here as my final guest. I love Vanessa's style, her projects and beautiful photography. Here's how Vanessa describes herself and {nifty thrifty things}:
I love decorating, designing and most of all, being thrifty.
I started this little space on the web to blog about things I like,
things I love and things I convert into things I like and love. Always
trying to stay on the thrifty side.
Being frugal on my spending has always been part of me and I believe
that you don’t have to spend a fortune to make your home comfortable and
cozy.
Currently I live in northern Germany. This is where I’m from and
where I grew up. From 2008–2010 I lived in Texas though, where I met my
best friend and now husband. Eventually we’re planning on making Texas
our home and settle down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi everyone! My name is Vanessa and you can usually find me blogging over @ {nifty thrifty things}. I'm super excited to be here at Carolyn's blog today and to share one of my favorite tutorials from my blog with you:
I'm in love with all kinds of decorative tape. After trying the DIY version of washi tape, I also tried my hands on fabric tape. I love that you can use up scrap fabric and make the tape in any pattern you can find fabric in.
What you'll need:
- Strips of fabric
- Strong double-sided tape
- Scissors
- Paper clips
How to:
- Apply the tape to the wrong side of your fabric scraps. (Leave the backing on until you're ready to use the fabric tape)
- Cut the fabric around the double sided tape.
- Cut strips to desired width.
- Roll up the fabric tape strips and secure with a paper clip to keep it from unrolling.
