Sunday Rewind: Skeleton Vase (A Pottery Barn Knock-off)

October 26, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love a good knock off.  I made this skeleton hand vase last year for Halloween and it was fun and easy to do. All you need for this Halloween project is an old pot or vase, plastic skeleton parts, spray paint and… Vaseline.   Click here for the full tutorial and supply list.

Creepy DIY Halloween Candlesticks.

October 23, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love Halloween and although I haven’t been able to do any new projects this year, I still love to bring out the decorations from previous years.  The other day I posted an Instagram of these creepy candles and I had a few comments and emails about them. These are the easiest things to make. […]

Sunday Rewind: Halloween Bookcase

October 19, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love decorating our home for Halloween.  Last year I decorated this bookcase with a little bling, some glass, a few pumpkins….. and household cleaning products. That’s right.  Cleaning products. So often people think that you need to go to the holiday/seasonal section of a store and buy your home decor or holiday decorations.  Not […]

Sunday Rewind: Spooky front porch decor and a Halloween Chair.

October 12, 2014 Leave a Comment

This year’s Halloween is looking so very different from previous ones.  Problems with my back and a busy work schedule are preventing me from getting creative with any new projects.  Fortunately, I have a whole heck of a lot of Halloween decor from holidays gone by to get me in the mood.   I loved, […]

Sunday Rewind: Black Spray paint turns everyday objects into Halloween decor.

October 5, 2014 Leave a Comment

It’s so funny, but I see the image from this post pinned all over Pinterest.  To me it is a total no-brainer.  Spray paint makes everything better… Painting something black makes it work for Halloween. Simple. Please remember that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to totally do it up right for Halloween. […]

The first stop for my holiday shopping? Uncommon Goods. (Is it wrong that I got myself a gift?)

You guys know that I like wine, right?  I might have mentioned that a time or two five.    I even managed to use all the wine…. even the corks and the bottles. If I were a hunter, you could say that nothing goes to waste… I have a lot of friends who love wine […]

Pumpkin topiaries for Fall and Halloween

October 1, 2014 Leave a Comment

Pumpkins.  It might be a sickness that I have.  (Is Pumpkinitis a thing…?)   The only thing that might be better than an awesome pumpkin or two would be awesome pumpkins stacked into a topiary. I searched Hometalk and put together a little round up of some super examples of pumpkin topiaries that are sure […]

I can’t believe we are bidding goodbye to September.  Didn’t we just say hello?  October is one of my favorite months… the air is crisp and cool (or at least it’s supposed to be) and We get to spend the whole month gearing up for Halloween. I am incredibly bummed out.  Due to my back problems […]

Sunday Rewind: Heirloom Pumpkin Bread

September 21, 2014 Leave a Comment

We’ve had a heat wave in Southern California this past week.  Things seem seem to be cooling down a bit and the weather seems to at least be considering the idea that it is fall, according to the calendar.  As soon as weather permits, I want to bake some of this Heirloom Pumpkin Bread from […]
