How are excited are you to be crafting for Christmas?! I can hardly contain myself. Don't these Mercury glass bottles get you in the holly-jolly spirit?! I picked them up from the Dollar Store. I used my Cricut to cut out the noel and joy words, and added tea-stained seam binding and some vintage floral enbellishments to them. I'm in love! I have to go back for more. This reindeer ornament is also courtesy of...

I'm enjoying the last few days of our Halloween decorations. Hard to believe I'll be packing it all away in a few days. I didn't do a lot in the new she-shed/tea room this year.

I finished up...

Halloween is just a couple of weeks away and I've put the finishing touches on a few last minute projects. This one is my favorite! I found this little velvet-y address book at our local thrift store. Once I picked it up, I knew it would make for a great mini book of spells. I found the image on Pinterest and added it to the front of the book using sticker paper. Here's how I...

I had a couple of girlfriends over for lunch the other day and wanted to set a pretty table for them - and play around with some ideas for Halloween. Each setting included a white pumpkin plate from Target's DollarSpot, an orange or black plate from the Dollar Store, a gold charger plate and these great napkins. If you look closely you can see some creepy books I bought from eBay and skull shot glasses. ...
