Editor's Note

After a weekend away from home spent blissfully shopping for craft supplies and marble accessories, I am back with loads of creative project ideas in mind. Starting with Fourth of July to some Christmas projects (which go on perennially) and general re-decorating ideas, I plan to spend some time giving my home a new look.

And it's also time to think about having a more organized craft supplies storage. I am really running out of ideas to manage the ever-growing stock but a crafter and decorator can never have too many punches or stencils, can she?

BEAUTY

Best Haircuts for Long Faces

If you have a long face and are looking for a new haircut, don’t go ahead till you have read this article. After reading this article, you will be well equipped with information on what suits you best and what an absolute no-no for your face shape is.

Here we list some tips and haircut suggestions you should carefully go through and follow before having your hair cut:

1. Keep in mind that you need to create width on the sides of your face to minimize the oblong look that you currently have. You need to choose hair cuts which add volume to the sides and stay away from those that create volume over the head making your face seem longer than it already is.

2. Bangs are the easiest way to achieve a balanced look for a long face. Long, side swept bangs will quickly and easily make your face look much less longer and add instant style quotient.

3. Get your hair cut to chin-length. This creates an illusion of width on your face. Chin-length bobs look smart and stylish and are a good option if you are not averse to having a short haircut.

4. Medium or long hair can be treated with curls or waves to add volume. Avoid curls in short layered hair as it will create volume on the top of your head instead of the on the sides and will not give you the desired look.

5. Layered hairstyles are a must if you intend to keep your hair in medium or long lengths. Straight long hair will make your face seem more oblong.

6. ‘U’ or ‘V’ shaped haircuts will help in giving width at the sides and hiding away all the length of the hair at the back.

7. In general, try to stay away from very short or very long hair and stay with medium and long-medium hair length.

RECIPES

Pinwheel Sandwiches

2-8oz pkgs of cream cheese (softened)
1 pkg of Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing Mix (original Ranch)
1 large pkg of flour tortillas
Ham, turkey, cheese (all sliced thin at the deli)
1-4 oz jar pimento (diced)
1-4 oz can green chilies (chopped)
1/2 cup sliced olives

Mix cream cheese and dressing mix. Spread on tortillas. Next place some pimentos, chilies, and olives over the cream cheese layer. Top with ham, turkey, and cheese. Roll up tightly. Cut each roll into about a 3-4 inch segment, depending on how big your tortillas are.


HOME DECOR

Create Beautiful Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor living spaces are becoming quite popular, and why shouldn’t they? What better way is there to expand your square footage without building an addition? Making your yard, garden, or patio feel like an extension of your home is one of the best ways to create more useable space.

Continue the Same Scheme

Start by continuing your indoor color scheme out to the patio or the garden. This is especially important if an interior space opens directly onto the outdoor living space. Throw those French doors or sliding glass doors open and instantly increase the amount of square footage.

Co-Ordinate Outdoors with Indoors

Choose patio furniture and outdoor accessories that coordinate with your interior furnishings. You don’t want to go from modern inside to French Country outside if the spaces are tied together, unless of course you plan to create some type of eclectic mix in both spaces.

Beautify

Beautify your outdoor spaces with some quick tips. For closed spaces like patios, add a pretty picture on the wall. Wreaths made of seasonal flowers and foliage look great on walls and garden fences. Tabletop fountains and other similar water features have a soothing effect on your nerves and make your outdoor living space more welcoming. During spring and summer, a few hand-picked flowers from your own garden will brighten up your outdoor space and make it more inviting.

Outdoor Furniture

You can find beautiful outdoor furniture that looks good enough to use indoors and is comfortable enough for daily living as well as for entertaining. Take special pains in caring for your outdoor furniture so it continues looking great. With a little bit of additional color and a few well-chosen accessories, you can instantly create more livable space for your family.

WEDDINGS

Edible Wedding Favor Ideas

The trend of edible wedding favors is constantly growing and chocolates, cookies and even preserves make the most stylish of favor ideas these days. And it is not just the bride and the groom, but also the guests who love to take home these favors.

Here are some beautiful ideas for edible wedding favors that you will want to consider for your wedding:

1. Boxes or pouches filled with personalized chocolates are a huge hit. Get creative with the shapes and match them to your theme. If you have a motif for your theme, get the motif engraved on the chocolates. Or you could order or make chocolates in different shapes such as coins for a Las Vegas wedding, flowers for a Garden wedding, shells and starfish for a beach wedding etc.

2. Clear glass bottles or wine and cocktail glasses can also be filled with a variety of sweets like chocolates, candies, mints, sugar almonds or even nuts. Wrap in clear cellophane and tie at the top with ribbons.

3. Cookies make for lovely favors. Customize your wedding favors by getting your names or initials or wedding motif engraved on the cookies. You can also get the cookies made in different shapes like doves, butterflies, flowers etc. to match your theme or get them decorated in different color combinations to match your color scheme.

4. Little bottles and mini jars of preserves are making an appearance at many weddings today. Choose preserves that come out in a color that matches your wedding colors or decorate the jar lids with fabric in your wedding colors.

5. Mini-cakes are a great way to save money on your wedding cake as well as thank guests for attending your wedding. Get mini-cakes made just like your wedding cake but in just 2 tiers. They look delightful and will also help you save money since you can get a simpler and smaller wedding cake made for cutting.
