I just wanted to thank Romantic Homes magazine for including my blog in their October issue. I'm in good company too! On the same page with Gina from Shabby Creek Designs. =) Jeanine ...
This is the last week off before school starts here next week, so it's going to be quite chaotic. I'm hoping to blog (and comment) regularly once the boys are back in school. Until then, here's a quick project I did over the weekend. I'm sure you've seen the spray painted mason jars all over Pinterest. I decided to make some for Halloween. I really love the candy corn ones but I only had black...
I was fooling around with my stamps and ink, and made these spooky spider web candles for Halloween. I know some people roll their candles over the stamp, but I actually do the opposite.

Of course, when I took my pictures most of the knives were in the dishwasher - doh! I...

School starts in roughly three weeks and although, I'm sad for my little guys to go back, I am looking forward to having more craft time! Last week, I treated myself to these little bottles and crate from Save on Crafts. Speaking of petite, today my baby turns 5. He's a big boy now, he tells me. Sigh! Where...
