    December 1, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Confessions from this girl – I love the dollar store! But what really bites is when you find a darling metal sleigh ornament at the dollar store and sadly only purchase two. So, you find yourself driving to 8 different dollar stores. Only because all of the other stores were sold out. Yes folks! Sadly that happened to me.

    November 19, 2020 / 0 Comments

    It seems like I go through phases in crafting. Sometimes I love lots of ribbon and details. Next thing I know I am loving simple and clean craft projects.

This Easy Fall Leaf Board is one of those simple projects that can come together in about 30 minutes and doesn’t need a lot of embellishments to make it look classy.

    Classy White 4×4 Wood Pumpkins

    November 18, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I love these 4×4 pumpkins. I have seen them decorated in so many different styles and colors. In fact, many years ago I made a set that was orange with dots and other designs you can see them here. I had several different sized pieces of 4×4 wood to create something with. I knew I wanted new pumpkins but, I wanted them to be classy and timeless. In the end, I painted them white added a few ribbons, and aged/distressed the wood. To create your own Classy white 4×4 wood pumpkins you will need: 4×4 wood posts cut into desired lengths wooden dowel or tree branch cut into 2″ to…

    November 9, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I absolutely love and adore my neighbors, co-workers and friends. Every year I am looking for some way to show my gratitude towards them. These cute little party cups had been sitting in a closet when the idea came to fill them with treats and make a Thanksgiving Neighbor Gift. You can purchase these little party cups at any craft store such as Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Joanne’s or even on Amazon. Fill them with whatever treat you would like. Wrap them up in cellophane, add a small bow and a gift tag for a fast and easy treat. When preparing a care package for Thanksgiving for my daughter who lived…

    It’s that time of year when we begin to see the weather change, turn up our Christmas tunes and deck the halls! How can you not love this time of year with all the glowing lights, traditions and of course the décor. The look of pine boughs, trees and a Holiday wreath is one of my favorite traditional things about Christmas. How exciting it is for me to share with you one of the most gorgeous wreaths I have from Nearly Natural. Nearly Natural has a large assortment of beautiful holiday wreaths, garlands, trees and swags.

    3-D Framed Wood Pumpkin

    October 21, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Check out how I made this 3-D Framed Wood Pumpkin. I love to turn other people’s trash into treasures! Sometimes other people don’t see the value in items like I do. Going to yard sale’s and find things for fairly cheap to make new again is one of my favorite past times. Finding this cute turquoise chicken wireframe at a yard sale for .25 got me really excited and knew I couldn’t pass it up. At the time of the purchase I had no idea what I would use it for. A few months later I purchased a 3-D wooden pumpkin for $1.00. The size of the pumpkin fit perfectly…
