I forgot about mine and it cooked a little too long, so the edges lost their definition and I made a little mess :/ Believe it or not, it really works! I thought this candy serving tray looked like a great idea, but it didn't seem like it could possibly be as easy as the … [Read more...]

Day 188: Gift Tags from Christmas Cards
This is the one time of year that I actually enjoy going to the mail box. There are so many beautiful cards coming in the mail or being handed to us in person in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Some of them are works of art and it seems a shame to throw them away when … [Read more...]
Day 165: Hand Print Turkey
It's the Monday before Thanksgiving! Did you get your turkey out of the freezer yet? If not, quick! Run to the freezer and toss that bird in the refrigerator! Thinking about turkey today reminded me of a cute pin that I saw last week for an easy craft that I'll actually save. … [Read more...]
Day 146: Our Thanksgiving Tree

Day 117: Fall Decor for a Tiny Front Porch
I have such grand schemes for my front porch when it comes time to decorate for Fall or Christmas. If you look at my Fall Board on Pinterest, it's covered with these beautiful pictures of entryways to houses at least five times the size of mine. I don't know why I think I can … [Read more...]
Day 112: Fall Mantel
I've been waiting for ages to get to blog about things from my "Fall" board! It's finally cooling off at night now, so I began to decorate for the season. (We have to decorate here in SoCal- otherwise we wouldn't ever see any changing leaves or signs of winter). I am really … [Read more...]
Day 106: Fall Paper Banner
I wasn't exactly sure what to call this. Paper banner? Garland? Hangy thing that looks cute? Either way, I can't take credit for this one. I was just smart enough to buy it at our last silent auction. However, it IS something simple enough to do and I have all the supplies so … [Read more...]
