This is the first year I've ever painted pumpkins. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner! I love the look. Kind of a nice break from the usual orange. All you need is a couple of cans of spray paint. I used a flat white and chalkboard paint. I want to do at least one more with the chalkboard paint because, well, I like being able to write/doodle on them! Jeanine ...
I don't know about you but when I craft, I just can't seem to throw out bits and pieces of paper, cardstock, etc. While those random bits come in handy occasionally, they are taking over precious space in my little craft room/office.

It's quite the rainy, dreary day here. Perfect for sharing some Halloween decorations that I've put up so far. Won't you come in... I've been wanting to do this mice look for two years.

I did mine on label paper, so I only had to cut, peel and stick. The striped straws are from Etsy. I just love them! I picked up the pencils...
Sometimes I like to keep it simple. I bought some ceramic pumpkins from the Dollar Store last year. The colors were a bit drab, so I painted two of them white last weekend and love them now! I put one ontop of a vintage desk and this one I added to an upcycled Goodwill cloche that sits on my kitchen counter. I added the word fall to a coffee baked tag. I love the simplicity!...
Here's a really easy DIY project for Halloween. I like to add decorations all over my house for any holiday, but the bathroom always presents something of a challenge. So I made some quick Halloween soaps to add to our soap dish. All you need is some glycerin soap (I used black), paper, a printer and of course some fabulous images from The Graphics Fairy. I used a vintage dictionary page with a skull, a...
