All the colors of spring are one of my favorite things, whether it’s seeing the flowers come to bloom or just having fun with dying some of my favorite things.  The happiness I feel when I’m surrounded by beautiful colors I call “Pure JOY!”

This week’s Round Up puts spring into full motion and hopefully brings some JOY into your day.

If cascarones (confetti eggs) haven’t been a part of your traditions, this might be the year to try them out.  Kathy Cano-Murillo gives us some awesome ideas.  Fill your eggs with confetti or little toys!

And if you’re in the mood to dye something other than eggs this spring, check out these awesome Rit Dyed bangles that Mark Montano put together.  They will take us from spring into summer.  I can see wearing them with my swimsuit this season.

I’m crazy about mixed media crafts.  Do you enjoy them too? Cathy Attix and Margot Potter inspire us to mix it up and keep it whimsical.
