Sunday Rewind: Skeleton Vase (A Pottery Barn Knock-off)
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.
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. […]
Support the USO and our troops with the #ComfortsFromHome Project
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Marie Callender’s for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My father served our country in the Marine Corps. (22 years – Master Gunnery Sergeant – Semper Fi!) and we have many friends and family memebers who have served in the US Military, so I […]
Sunday Rewind: Halloween Bookcase
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: Black Spray paint turns everyday objects into Halloween decor.
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
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 […]
