Texas Decor

So I had a neighbor that wanted me to make some things for her little boys room. They are big Texas fans and that is how his room is decorated so this is what I came up with:

Its not much but I wanted to share so here ya go!

Live Laugh Love Stackables

These are my live laugh love stackables:

I just used the basic 2x2s and painted on my words with a khaki color. I got the thin ribbon from wally world and I had the little black wire. I just tied it all at the same place and added some little colorful beads that I also got at wally world!

Very easy!

Its been a while!

I am so excited to be back and to be blogging! This was the hardest holiday season that I have ever had! My brother was diagnosed with Leukemia on June 1, 2010 and it didn't take it long to get him down. I tried to visit as much as I could (he lived 120 miles away). We lost him on December 9th, four days before his little boys 3rd birthday. I have not felt like crafting, or posting, or really doing anything. I finally feel like its time to get back up and going and am excited to be back in the blog world! Sorry for my "bad blogger behavior"!!

Oh Christmas Tree!

I know that you all probably think that I am jumping the gun on Christmas but I promise that I am not crazy... PROMISE! No, I have a craft show coming up this weekend and I wanted to make these little Christmas Trees for it. I used a 2x2 and some Emerald green Krylon spray paint. After I painted them, I sanded the edges and corners and then I used some watered down brown to glaze. I hot glued them together and tied on some ribbon! I am really happy with how they turned out!

Easy Fall Decor

So I just wanted to share a couple of really easy and inexpensive ways to decorate for fall.

The first way is to decorate any candlesticks that you might already have. I did have these decorated for Halloween but now that it is over I had to change it up. I tied two silk leaves that I already had to the big candlestick with some raffia. Next I just placed some pumpkins on top in lieu of candles.

Next, I just took a glass vase from the Dollar Tree and put some pot pourri in it. I got the little candle from the Dollar tree as well and tied some raffia around the glass.

Lastly, I had this glass bowl and the little scoop and I usually change this out seasonably as well but usually with candy. I decided to fill it with cotton bowls this time which was great for me since it was free!

Just thought I would share since I know that everyone is always looking for new and inexpensive ways to decorate!!!

Is Halloween Over???

This was the first year that I have ever decorated for Halloween and I really enjoyed it! I really got into making stuff for the holiday and it was really fun but I might have, kinda sorta over did it... lets just say I got a little burnt out! Ok, to be honest, I can't wait to take down my Halloween stuff... I am Halloweened out! However, I am pumped to start in on Thanksgiving and Christmas crafting!!!! Here is one of the first of many Thanksgiving crafts that I made today. I really like the way that they turned out!

Mini Sign

If you have been following me then you remember that earlier this month I made a sign stand. I wanted to make a little fall sign to hang on it so hear it is. I just got a little wooden 5x7 plaque from Walmart and painted it the tan that I wanted. I tore the shape of the pumpkin out of scrapbook paper and inked the egdes. I used wire to hang it and tied a burlap bow. I think it turned out pretty cute!
