This is another Pinterest-inspired project. And I, once again, had everything I needed to make these spooky Halloween bottles. First, I gave each bottle a couple of coats of black spray paint. While they were drying, I printed out my labels (also found on Pinterest) onto label paper. I gave each label a couple of coats of clear spray paint so they won't get wet or rub off. Once everything was dry, I simply peeled...

Martha Stewart Snake Wreath Knock-Off
When I saw Martha Stewart's black snake wreath floating around on Pinterest, I just knew I had to make one for Halloween. I had a random wreath hanging around and some fake snakes (from the Dollar Store) left over from last year. I spray painted the wreath black and then used my hot glue gun to add the snakes (which were already black). The snakes are a little bigger than I remembered. Either that...
Here's a quick and easy banner for fall. All you need is some book paper, twine, clothes pins and a printer. I used some of my leftover Romeo & Juliet book paper for mine. I picked a pretty font to spell out fall. After playing with the sizing (I enlarged my letters 250 percent!), I simply printed out each letter onto its own sheet. Then I clipped the pages onto the twine using my clothes...
I was able to pop in to my favorite church thrift store this morning. Look at the goodies that I picked up for a mere $5. I never ever pass up a bag of buttons! I'm not sure what the ceramic piece is supposed to be but I love the French writing so I grabbed it. It has a plastic topper?! The cat head reminds me of vintage Halloween decorations. The pyrex piece is definitely...
This little, vintage desk sits in a corner in our dining room. I change it out every season. I started adding some autumn touches to it earlier this week. I'm still adding some pieces but here it is so far. I found the autumn printable via Pinterest. What's wrong with this picture?! Can you see it? I didn't have an M Scrabble tile (thanks to my boys!) so I had to turn the W upside...
The kiddos are officially back to school and I'm chomping at the bit to catch up on some crafting! Garage sales were a bust this weekend so I looked in my crafting stash and pulled out two Dollar Store prayer candles. I wanted to make some spooky candles for Halloween - even though I have a bunch left over from last year. First I wrapped some vintage book paper around each candle. Then I hand-stamped...
