To help inspire your Memorial Day weekend projects, I've compiled a list of my favorite projects from blogs this week. Are you ready to be inspired?

1. This DIY chevron magnet board is both pretty and functional! Check out the details here.

2. Alicia used an IKEA picture frame to liven up a typical bathroom towel holder and the end result looks great! Visit her blog, Thrifty & Chic for the step by step tutorial.

3. Coral is one of my absolute favorite colors so of course I fell in love with Natalie's chalk paint dresser makeover! Head over to her blog, Natalme to see the stunning before and after.

4. This spool art is so unique and creative! It would be a great addition to a sewing and/or craft room. Check out Ashley's blog, Give me the Simple Life, for the details.

5. Kimbo created this beautiful pallet wall art and I just love how it turned out! Visit her blog, A Girl and a Glue Gun to see how she created this project.

Don't forget to fill us in on the projects and crafts that you've been working on. We'd love for you to send us a picture and short description of your project to our e-mail: craftivitydesigns (at) gmail (dot) com. Who knows, you might even get featured in an upcoming Kick-off Friday!

On Monday I shared my DIY Wooden Spoon Herb Markers and you got a glimpse of my blue herb planters too.

We had these faux-stone {actually plastic} planters leftover from the previous owners. Instead of tossing them, we kept them around, thinking a coat of spray paint might fix 'em up.

And now I love 'em.

They are the perfect container for the herbs that we picked up at the Bluegrass Farmers Market last week. Since we are beginners at gardening, I'm so glad we got the herbs at the Farmer's Market. The farmer explained how to care for each herb and gave us lots of helpful tips, like:

they can all be planted together in a container, but put them in the ground for the winter {yes, many of them are perennials!}
most of them are very hardy {phew} -- pretty much weeds that you can eat
the basil is sensitive to the cold, so keep it inside until the soil can remain over 60 degrees {we have it in the little clay pot for now, so we can move it indoors on cooler nights}

You may have noticed that the clay pot with the basil has gotten a paint makeover too. It was inspired by the DIY Potted Herb Favors (#3) from The Sweetest Occasion.
