It's been a busy week around here. As I mentioned earlier, I am getting ready for a Valentine's Day Home Tour coming up. It's been a flurry here of pink and red glitter, feathers, and hearts. The last wreath I had on my door was my DIY Ornament Wreath. Since the dreaded day came where Topher forced me to take my Christmas decor down (because it was actually January and the neighbors were giving me the "come on already and take down your Christmas crap" look), I knew it was time to find ...

Christmas Home Tour 2013
This Christmas, things are a bit different for me. Usually I am the one that has all of her Christmas shopping finished by Thanksgiving and all of her presents wrapped by December first. Then I get to sit around and think how happy I am that I am not out in all of that crazy traffic or waiting in those long lines at the mall. Well, that plan was shot to heck this year. When we went on our cruise, we were out of town for 10 days. As soon as we got back, and I got caught up ... VIEW POST
DIY Ornament Wreath
We had a busy weekend around here! We had Topher's side of the family's Thanksgiving on Saturday. After that I was back to work on a project. Sunday was spent taking pictures for a couple of this week's posts, cleaning up around here, and working on a couple of other new projects. Somewhere in between, the unnamed child and I watched "People Like Us". It was a good movie. We also looked for a car for the unnamed child but didn't come up with a winner yet. Topher's looking too, we spent a ... VIEW POST
Ghoulish Glitter Halloween Wreath
This week, we are breaking-down some of the projects used for last week's Halloween Home Tour. Yesterday we went over my Glitter Dollar Tree Skull, and today we are moving onto my Ghoulish Glitter Halloween Wreath. The first step is the same as the one I used in my Spooktacular Halloween Wreath. You take a 12 inch wreath form and hot glue black fabric over the entire form. ... VIEW POST
Haunted Halloween Home Tour
It's finally here!! I'm doing my first ever Halloween Home Tour! Or any type of home tour actually. One thing that you won't be seeing on my tour are the things I fear most in life: clowns. I took my daughter to the Halloween shop, and you would be shocked at how many scary clown masks for sale. I quickly scurried down those aisles. I am, however, a big fan of scary movies and always have been, but the one that scarred me for life was "It". Anyone remember that one? The Steven ... VIEW POST
Spooktacular Halloween Wreath
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I got several new projects completed, walked the pups out in the beautiful weather, made some food for my cousin's birthday, but I did get some bad news that my brand new niece was admitted to the hospital and they are doing tests to find out what's wrong with her. My poor brother and sister-in-law are so exhausted they can't see straight, and any prayers for the little pumpkin would be greatly appreciated. Halloween is approaching (I ... VIEW POST
Fall Mantel
It has been a rainy dreary day here in Kansas. Of course we would finally get rain right when I needed to spray paint some pumpkins. There was a little iffy window of time today where I got it done. So the last time you saw my mantel, I had just completed my fall stenciled garland, and it looked like this. ... VIEW POST
