We're in the midst of a winter weather warning (AGAIN), an unexpected snow storm (AGAIN).  Last week it was near 60 degrees then BAM (teaser!) - yesterday afternoon at least 6 inches of snow fell within a few hours. It took Mr. DIY an extra hour and 15 minutes to get home weaving in and out of fender benders, dodging stopped vehicles and sliding around on the icy un-treated roads in the blizzard.  All while I waited nervously at home, biting my nails, praying for his safe return dodging a bat flying around my living room (he must of thought it was spring too - where is that darn ground hog?  Last week I wanted to hug the little guy, this week ... well, no hugs!).  

So, I'm in the mood for something warm and DIY sunbursts feel HOT to me. Sunny = smiley.  Here are some great ideas and tutorials to help you thaw. Click the links for more pictures, details and the full tutorial from some very talented DIY divas!
