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. The name is a tad misleading since the pumpkin was in fact, $2.50. Either way, cheapest pumpkins I've seen. I was fortunate to be sent a package of glow in the dark puffy paint from Tulip as part of the iLoveToCreate campaign. I was tempted to forgo pumpkins and paint spider webs on some glassware, because I loved how my ...

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.

You might remember that gorgeous wooden bowl from my World Market ...
Southwest Inspired Dinner Table

My husband and I stumbled upon it, on clearance, when walking through World Market right after we were married. It was the first piece of furniture ...
Fall Mantle Photography
I have been working on putting together my fall "mantle", which is really a shelf in the dining room, because I don't have the luxury of having a fireplace. At the end of the day mantles are just shelves, right? I started with my fall wreath (a huge improvement from last year's fall wreath). Obviously, we have a long way to go before this shelf reads fall. I decided it was time to find something fall-ish for the frames. When Ross came home from work on Thursday, I was all, "Hurry up and ...
