Happy Thanksgiving!

I love to decorate for the Fall and Thanksgiving, and not to mention all the good cooking too! Enjoy, take it easy and "give thanks" because Christmas is just around the corner!!!

Happy Veterans Day!

A Wreath for multiple seasons!

Remember my magnolia leaf wreath I made at the beginning of the summer? (click here to see the original wreath). It made it through the hot summer months and the leaves gradually turned brown just in time for Fall. Soon it will be time to make a fresh one for Christmas....That is one good thing magnolia trees are good for, "Decorating!"

Happy Halloween!

NO ERASING involved to create your own personalized chalkboard from technology...well, at least it only takes a click of a button to erase. I did this one really fast and Nest of Posies has great ideas and links for Free downloadable fonts and chalkboard backgrounds. This will do for now, but I have a real repurpose chalkboard project that I want to make...looks like I will be doing a lot of erasing to achieve this perfection.

Scare those crows away!

I thought maybe I scared him off or the Wizard had problems getting him home...well he is back for the fall season! Scarecrows are fun to make and you can add your own special touches too. Just take some old clothes and stuff with newspaper. Make a head out of muslin and use craft paints for his features and stuff with poly-fill pillow stuffing. Stuff garden gloves too for his hands. Take a dowel stick or baseball bat to prop up his body and head. For his hat, I used an apple basket. Finish off with a little raffia to stuff around his head, feet and hands and to tie the ends. Use your imagination!

Fall into some new pillows!

The Fall season is always a fun time to decorate and to throw in a punch of orange. I made these pillows for a special friend of mine. Orange and teal are lovely coordinating colors for your decor all year too. Pillows are an easy way to create a new fresh look and so many styles and textures to choose from.

Halloween Cobweb Decor

I think I have slacked off on my house cleaning chores! Halloween is a fun time to decorate and this is a simple addition to a chandelier. Just purchase artificial cobwebs and have fun placing them everywhere. Now I am ready for our guest, The Adam's Family!
