Here's another DIY in under 5...This spooky, wood bead ghost garland will cost you $2 to make.  (Yup, just $2).  And literally 5 minutes...
Everything you need is pictured above and it's all from Dollar Tree.  I'm sure you probably have white acrylic paint sitting around in your craft room.  Break it out and paint your ghosts white.  Once those are dry, simply tie them to your wood bead garland.  Done and done!  Told ya it was easy peasy.

You know how I love sharing smart and why-didn't-I-think-of-that products with you guys.  This one is a true life-saver...
Seriously, every few days I do battle with my son's favorite sleeping bag.  Ya know, the one he totes to all of his sleepovers.  The last few months, the zipper has been such a pain in the neck and this kid will not let me throw it out.  It scrunches the fabric in a kung-fu-like grip - leaving me yanking and cursing at this poor defense-less sleeping bag.  Here's where FixnZip ($10.99) comes in.
This handy-dandy device is perfect for fixing zippers on any outdoor recreation and travel items, including: sleeping bags (yay!), tents, luggag, duffle bags and even Jeep windows.  It's smartly carried in the tactical kit of every Navy Seal!
FixnZip literally slides over any broken zipper and instantly replaces it as the new zipper.  Not only is it super easy to use, it's also eco-friendly (made of nickel) and the parts can be taken off one item and used on another.  But wait, there's more!

FixnZip is:
  • Easy to apply;
  • Fits a range of sizes;
  • Can start anywhere on the zipper;
  • Repairs tooth and coil, metal and plastic zippers;
  • Durable and non-corrosive surface;
  • Can be re-used (yay!);
  • Full website offers online instructional support;
  • And my favorite: Made in the USA.
You can find FixnZip at Michael's Stores nationwide or by clicking this link.  You'll thank me later.

(Wood rosette pumpkins.)

I'm just going to say it.  "Take a hike summer and bring on autumn."  After a couple of cooler days last week, we're back to summer part 2.  And I'm done.
(Jenga block pumpkins in white.)

I want to get my autumn on and Mother Nature is putting a kink in my plans.  Sure the warmer weather is great for drying spray paint.  BUT, the heat does zero for my motivation.
(Blinged out Dollar Tree skull.)

I'm ready to embrace cooler days and I'm growing impatient.
(Upcycled toy tractor.)

I know I'm not the only one...Anywho, all of the crafts featured here were made with items I already had in the house or, like the skull, purchased at Dollar Tree.  Scroll back a few posts for directions on how to make your own Jenga block pumpkins.

It's almost my favorite time of year!
I started unpacking our autumn decor last week.
I promised to pace myself and not go full-on Halloween just yet.
I'm also trying to use what I have or make what I need/want - because, as we all know, a girl can get into a lot of trouble this time of year.
The struggle is real, but I can do it, I can do it.
Have you started decorating for autumn yet?
