I know I am! I have a can of orange spray paint and I know how to use it. =)

My boys went back to school today. And you know what that means: in between tears and missing them, I'm back to blogging, creating, dreaming, etc. Stay tuned!

If you follow Stampington & Company on Facebook like I do, you probably spied this photo last week. I thought to myself, "what a sweet and simple idea." So while I was at the Dollar Store today, I picked up two salt and pepper shakers and made my own version.
This entire project cost me $2 - for the two shakers. How lovely would these be to gift to a special friend?!

So remember a few months ago I mentioned I was going back to school? What I didn't mention is that I went to real estate school. Yup, yours truly is now a licensed real estate salesperson in the state of New York. It was hard juggling work, kids, crafting, life, etc., but I passed all of my tests and officially became licensed last week. I'll still be working my current job and crafting, but I'm excited to also embark on this new career as well. Wish me luck!

I'm sure many of you, like me, receive a lot of product pitches via email. Some are clearly not a good fit for my blog, while others seem to hit the nail on the head. Case in point: Labor of Love Co.
I was beyond thrilled to receive one of their DIY Soy Candle Kits.
I love candles and I love DIY, so it was a match made in heaven. If you've never heard of Labor of Love Co., they offer a variety of curated DIY kits via their website (click link above) and Etsy shop. Their kits provide everything you need for the ultimate DIY experience.
The instructions are super easy to follow. They show you everything step-by-step.
For the candle kit, you receive the wax, fragrance oil, wicks, 2 Mason jars, stirrer and clothes pins. Seriously, it was easy peasy for a candle novice like me.
After melting the wax and adding the fragrance oil (I received Jasmine, yum!), I had my hubby help me pour it into each Mason jar.
After 24 hours you go from this...

Such a smart idea and think about all of the gift-giving possibilities this holiday season. The Soy Candle Kit is $25. They also offer a DIY Gold Foil Tote Kit and DIY Gold Leaf Frame. I give Labor of Love Co. two thumbs up!

The past few days have been a bit of a blur. You see, our 11 year old fell last week and split his chin open. Fifteen stitches later, I'm still a nervous wreck.
Since he's taking it easy this week, I did the only thing that would calm my nerves: I crafted. I had some sachets hiding in my craft room. I broke them out and put my new RV/camper rubber stamp to good use and made some lavender-scented sachets.
I also made this cute little holiday one. All are in my Etsy.
In other news, coming home from my Mom's the other day, we spied this petite rocking chair in the garbage. See the broken piece? My husband swears he can fix it. So this will likely be my next project.
Meanwhile, the 11 year old gets his stitches out tomorrow. Wish us luck!
