time for fall – grapevine wreath

November 4, 2011 3 Comments

I tried to not waste any time going from Halloween to "Fall" decor. South Florida really has no Fall but I should probably retire the bat wreath for a something a bit more in line with Thanksgiving. When I was wandering around Micheal's right before Halloween they were having a super sale and I had a great coupon to go along with it. I bought these three mini grapevine wreaths and fake flower/seed things for under $4. Score!So I didn't find a huge wreath but that doesn't mean it can't look good … [Read more...]

this is halloween – halloween hangover

November 2, 2011 2 Comments

Not really hungover but the day flew by and so did yesterday. We had a great time on Halloween night with our friends who came over. So much fun we apparently forgot to take pictures. All we have are the handful of fuzzy ones I took with my phone while I was not chasing dogs in costumes or the little Superman who was visiting around the house.The weather was soggy so trick-or-treating was minimal. Not many were even able to see my bat wreath and we have a ton of candy left over.My little yellow … [Read more...]

Halloween is finally here! Everything is ready to go for our trick-or-treaters and casual pizza party with a few friends tonight.I even carved a last minute pumpkin yesterday to go with my many bat decorations this year. Now I'm just hoping the weather holds up and we get no rain tonight so the trick-or-treaters show. If not, there will be a lot of candy in my future.Have a great time tonight! I'll be back tomorrow with pictures of the celebration.If you are just joining us, check out the … [Read more...]

my next victims – succulent garden

October 24, 2011 13 Comments

I bought these little glass hanging planters/candle holders when we first bought the house and they've been sitting in storage since. On my last trip to Home Depot I picked up this assortment of succulents determined to put the glass holders to use. As I was walking towards the hubby in the store, plants in hand and all excited for what I was going to do with them, he says "You are going to kill more plants?" He has no faith in my ability to keep a plant alive. Thanks, babe. I know I do not have … [Read more...]

the making of a craft room – hollow door desk

October 18, 2011 3 Comments

After I revealed my craft room a few weeks ago, I had a lot of questions on the furniture and organization. I'm going to share a few of the things I did to help anyone looking to make their own space. We did the room on the cheap. IKEA and Home Depot were my friends during the process. Customizing a room or space for your office or craft room does not need to be expensive.  When I first started the room my desk was much shorter and there was a lot of unused space in the room. I love a lot of … [Read more...]

this is halloween – bat wreath

October 7, 2011 9 Comments

Now that is is finally October, I can start decorating the outside of the house without the neighbors thinking I'm crazy. I didn't have any front door decor in my stash of Halloween decorations from the old house so I decided to make a wreath.This was a fun and easy wreath to make. A simple yarn base, some bats and a Trick or Treat mini banner along the inside.I simply wrapped the black yarn tightly around the entire wreath form. After I was done I went back and wrapped a gray piece of yarn … [Read more...]
