"Mom! Can you make me a pink heart for show and tell?? It's my favorite color AND my favorite shape!" I can honestly say that this was one of the very few times that I was able to put together one of my daughters' last minute requests easily. A quick search of my craft room found us exactly what we needed to put together Alice's Pom Pom Wrapped Heart Wreath for favorites day in kindergarten. It was easy, took just a few minutes, and will be a cute addition to our Valentine's Day ... Read More

Easy Snowscape Terrarium
I have some shelves in my dining room that are in serious need of decorating. They aren't huge, so I've been trying to make sure I don't go overboard with my decor (which is really hard for me!). I found some lovely glass terrariums that look like large ornaments and after doing a quick look through my supplies, I created this lovely super Easy Snowscape Terrarium that makes me happy every time I walk by.

Christmas Yarn Flower Wreath
Is there anything better than a bright pop of classic red and green for Christmas? No matter what kind of decor we're doing, I always include red and green somewhere.

Zombie Raven Wreath
There is nothing more perfect for a spooky Halloween night than the combination of zombies and ravens. I may not have the full zombie, but I have some zombie bones and they glow in the dark for extra trick or treating fun! My Zombie Raven Wreath is pretty easy to make and is spooky enough for the adults, but not too over the top for the kids. Happy Halloween! I used: grapevine wreath raven hand and bones from FloraCraft DecoArt paints yarn glue foam ... Read More
Day of the Dead Styrofoam Sugar Skull
This post contains sponsored content. I love sugar skulls and their beautiful designs. I've always been fascinated at how lovely the skulls become when they're decorated. I was excited to be given the chance to create one for myself as I've never painted one before. Americana Acrylics and Neon Lights from DecoArt were the perfect paints to create an awesome Day of the Dead Styrofoam Sugar Skull. I used a styrofoam skull from FloraCraft as my base. I took it as a challenge to change a ... Read More
Teacher Appreciation Apple Wreath
Back to School!! Goodness, I love those words! And I don't just mean for my own ability to get back to work properly because the girls are in school (although I am really looking forward to it!). I always loved school and my girls do, too. This year, I will have a third grader, second grader, and a kindergartener. They have been antsy to get back to school for weeks now. I asked Alice recently if she was ready for kindergarten and her response was "Of course I'm ready. Mum! I've been waiting for ... Read More
