House & Home From Diane Schmidt, your About House & Home Editor Besides the fact that March is the last official month of winter, it also represents a time of change, of seeing the old transformed, whether it's a surprise win at the Oscars or the thrill of transforming yourself from a blond to a redhead. Whatever gives you that extra skip in your step is what this month is all about. Host an Academy Awards Party It's Oscar time and this year looks like it'll be worth throwing a party for. Whether you'll be watching it in a ballgown or in your old gray sweatpants, there's no reason not to make the celebration a little more festive with these great party tips. How To Make Your Own Herbal Hair Color I change my hair color every spring, but I've never tried to make my own color at home. This year, I've convinced some of my friends to join me in a makeover party where we can create our own unique colors. I'll just make sure that we save the wine for after the colors have been mixed. Celebrate National Craft Month I think it's so perfect that March is National Craft Month. Not only are crafts a great way to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, but they also bring a sigh of relief to every parent who's struggling with filling that long hiatus known as Spring Break. Trash to Treasure Makeover These are the ultimate transformations; seeing the beauty that no one else could see and turning that sparkle of light into something truly wonderful - a treasure worth holding on to.
