So, it's officially Summer! I just came across a great center on the web- 60 Days of Summer. There are plenty of great entertaining ideas, handmade gifts, and fun activities to do outside, or in an air conditioned room. Start crafting now, and you can have 60+ projects done before labor day! Below are a few of my favorite projects pulled from the center- what are yours? We'd love to know- please post a link to your favorites in our comments section!
PLUS: Sign up for our 60 Days of Summer newsletter to get a new recipe, craft, or tip in your inbox every day of the season! It starts on Monday, so sign up today!

I really love the photo centerpiece idea- what a classic and clever way to recognize the guest of honor at a summer party! I may have to try this out for a party I have coming up soon!
I just made a necklace from the "handmade jewelry and accessories" slide show and posted pictures on my blog, collegiatechic101.blogspot.com It looks beautiful! Thanks marthastewart.com!

I have a little DIY... recycle/ repurpose idea for a herb hanger/dryer. Now that I think about it, I should have taken better pics
