I have a thing for pretty bottles and decanters. I always keep my eyes peeled when I am thrifting, hoping to find some cool ones. So far I have exactly 4, and they are making an appearance in my Halloween decor this year. These cool bottles got a creepy make-over, thanks to fabulous Halloween Clip […]
Easy chain covered pumpkins for Halloween.
Nothing says Halloween like pumpkins covered in chains. (Right…? Possibly…? It’s just me, then?) I love how these chain pumpkins turned out!
Make a skeleton monogram for Halloween.
I love monograms and initials. I love Halloween. I love the Dollar Store. Ergo, I love this project: a monogram made out of silver skeletons. It was pretty easy to create. I grabbed a few of these skeleton garlands from the Dollar Store, took the ropes from around their bony little necks and spray painted […]

My First Pumpkin of the Season… and it’s a total Craft Fail.
It’s September! I am so ready to start thinking Fall! Unfortunately, I am kicking off the season with a Craft Fail. Last week I shared my big, fat feather failure… Well I had set some of the orange ones aside. This is what happens when you cross a pumpkin with a Muppet. Please believe me […]
Fifty shades of pumpkin. No-carve pumpkin ideas.
OK, maybe not 50, but it sure seems like I did a whole heck of a lot of pumpkins last fall. As autumn approaches and we gear up to go into another fall season, I thought I’d do a quick recap of last year’s pumpkins.
