Happy Halloween everyone! It's been a crazy day and now that the madness has died down, I have a quickie project to show. Remember that little candy tin I got at the church thrift store sale? Here it is now: I bought this image off of Etsy a week or so ago, and althought I can't stand bugs, I do love to decorate with bees. I printed it off onto some sheet music and glued it to...
Yup, it's snowing here today. Can you believe it?! No real accumulation but enough to make it messy. It wasn't messy enough to keep me from my favorite church thrift store's annual fall fair. Popped over there this morning and it did not disappoint: How cute is the snowman? I got it for $1. One booth allowed you to fill a bag for a buck. I could have gone to town but I tried to...
I really love the embellished frames my sister Kathy from Creative Home Expressions makes. In fact, she has some for sale in her Etsy shop. Me, I'm trying to work my way through my craft room trying to use things I already have for some projects.

They are wrapped in plastic still making them perfect for this makeover: I bought a disc with a ton of these vintage holiday card images off of Ebay a few years ago. This was before I discovered the joys of Etsy. Still, they come in...
I hope my mom isn't reading today's post! I actually started planning some of the holiday gifts that I want to make this year. First up is one for my mom: These ceramic Dollar Store mugs are just great. My mom is a big coffee drinker and she likes to alternate her pretty mugs each morning. I'm hoping she likes these! I hand-stamped Mode de Paris in black ink on the bottom of each one. ...
