Me and my shelf are like that (picture me with fingers crossed). We are always hanging out, switching it up. Just this fall, the shelf went from: fall, to decked out for Quinn's pirate birthday (I'll share later), to Halloween. We have done it up for Christmas, and Valentine's Day, and just regular old days. Without further ado, here is the spooktacular Halloween mantle. The tree cut outs, tombstones and spider webbing were all dollar store finds. The ...
DIY Trick-or-Treat Bag
I was lucky enough to receive a box full of Martha Stewart Crafts products and they did not disappoint. I already whipped up this chalkboard tray, and I couldn't wait to craft more! This is little Miss E's first Halloween. Well not her first, she was this unbelievably adorable strawberry last year. Oh-my-word they grow up fast! Last year she couldn't walk and she couldn't eat the candy, so aside from being adorable she didn't really have the full "Halloween experience". Well now ...
Puffy Paint Glow Pumpkin
I can't believe it is possible that I am a craft blogger and this is my first pumpkin blog post. What? Crazy, right? I found this pumpkins at Target's Dollar Spot.

I was tempted to forgo pumpkins and paint spider webs on some glassware, because I loved how my ...
A Day In The Life
Ask and you shall receive. Some of y'all said you wanted to see a day in the life post. Be prepared to be wowed. Or not. Probably more not. Turns out I am super bad at this. I tried snapping pictures with my iPhone throughout the day. Turns out I got a lot of dark and blurry photos. Whoops! Quinn is usually the first one up. He feels the need to wake up at the crack of dawn. Why? He always comes straight into our room, usually asks to snuggle and then talks way too much for 6 am. And even ...
Dollar Store Tray to Chalkboard Decor
I have an obsession with chalkboard paint. We have it on the closet doors in the kid's rooms and in the kitchen. When I got some Martha Stewart Chalkboard paint (courtesy of Plaid Crafts) I was just itching to turn something into a chalkboard. Over the weekend I was at the Dollar Store trying to snag some cool fall decor. That is when I saw a stack of these metal trays. ONE DOLLAR FOLKS! So this, contact paper and a junk toy for Quinn turned out to be our only Dollar Store finds. Quinn ...
