Hey sweet Friends! Do ya'll get into Halloween? I know of a few of ya'll that do, but my guess is that most people do not. Around here, we really have fun with it! We are still tweaking this year's outdoor decorations at the moment. It has been fun decorating a new house! One of my favorite projects I've created for Halloween started with this mailbox box post I found at the Home Depot for $28: I knew it would be perfect to recreate this sign I saw at BHG.com a couple of years ago. I … [Read more...]

Hi there! It's time once again for our Power Tool Team to bust out the power tools and build something!

Hi Friends!! It's officially Spooktober around here, and today I am sharing my entry table all decked out to welcome Halloween as part of this month's Décor Challenge. We are finishing off the year the same way we came in, with a one space, three ways challenge. I chose my Dining Room Hutch for the first time around, but I decided to change things up this time.

From Tea Towels to Halloween Pillows

Hi Friends! I'm back with a much simpler sewing project today! I'm sharing what I did with these fun Halloween tea towels I found at Homegoods last year.

We put a LOT into our outdoor display, but … [Read more...]
Simple Halloween Soap Dispenser
October 21, 2014 by
Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a super simple way to turn an ordinary soap dispenser into something boo-rific! I shared this on my friend, Mandy's blog last week and I thought you might enjoy it too. I started with a bottle of Dial Gold hand soap. This was 88¢ at Walmart: I peeled off the labels. They will not likely peel off and leave a nice clean smooth surface. But, I used De-solv-it citrus scented adhesive remover to remove the residual adhesive, which took all of two minutes. (I've … [Read more...]
