Oh my goodness, it's been a while since I've been this excited about how a project turned out! It's also been a while since I've pulled out the paint and stenciled on wood. Like, a long while! I do have a few projects with stenciling in mind that I hope to get to before too long though. We'll see how that goes. Are you pulling out the fall or Halloween decor yet? Temperatures are starting to drop ... read more

A couple of weeks ago, I was using the Procreate app on my Ipad. I've been working on learning how to hand letter, and this app is awesome for that. I decided to ... read more

Simple Fall Throw Pillow
Yesterday was the first day of Fall. I love fall! It is my favorite! I love when the summer heat starts to cool off and the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change.

We don't live on a large piece of property, but we have nine trees, and eight of them are pretty large with lots and lots of leaves. Last ... read more

Fall is Here – Fall Pillow with the Cricut EasyPress
I love fall. I love everything that comes along with fall. Maybe it's because summer can be a little crazy and hot, and it's a refreshing time of year. I'm not sure what it is, but I really love it. It seems like for my little family, fall is a time when we make lots of memories as a family, mostly just at home. No big vacations or anything like that, it's more along the lines of making treats ... read more

Happy Fall! Can you believe it's the first day of fall? I love fall and have been so excited for it to officially arrive. It arrived with a bang in my neighborhood.

I made a few of them then gave them to my boys ... read more
Fall Front Porch Sign
Good morning! Happy Fall! I guess it's not really fall for another week, but it's sure starting to feel like it at my house. Yesterday the wind was blowing and it had a chill in the air with it, and it's getting me excited for fall. I love fall, but I don't really love winter that follows, so it's kind of catch 22, since winter always follows. I just hope we have a few months of the crisp fall air ... read more

Fall is my very favorite time of year! I love the colors, I love the crispness in the air, all the pumpkins, I just love it all.

My Front Porch – Fall Style
How was your weekend? I had a great weekend. It started out by getting up early Saturday morning and doing what I do every week. I go and do Bountiful Baskets. It is something that I enjoy, even if I don't get to sleep in on Saturday mornings. Then it was followed up by having the opportunity to learn and listen to the Apostles and Prophet from our church. Every ... read more
Fall Block
I live in a split entry home, and when you walk in, these cute little black shelves are right at the top of the stairs. I guess I could say that they greet anyone who comes to our home.

I decided that I'd make a fall block, similar to my lucky block. These ... read more
One Fall Day
If you haven't noticed, I don't scrapbook my pictures in chronological order, and I don't really scrapbook things that are in the current season. :) I just grab some pictures and find paper to go with them and get it done. I did this page not too long after Thanksgiving, but never got it posted. However, these pictures are from Fall 2009. I LOVE this line of paper from Imaginisce. I think it's ... read more
Fall decor
Ever since Amy posted her wood pumpkins I knew I wanted to make me a set. I used some colored raffia to tie some bows on. Not sure if I will keep it like that or not, but for now that's how it is.

They seriously only took like a minute to make the ... read more

Happy Fall
o you ever just sit down to make card, with no specific intention for them? I do. Thank you cards, Birthday cards, Congratulations cards, are all good ones to have on hand, when you need one in a hurry. But, do you ever sit down to make a card with a specific intention in mind? It's kind of fun to do sometimes. That is what I did with this one. I knew who I was going to send it to and what the ... read more
Overthink About It Sweat Shirt
Does anyone else feel like they overthink things? Sometimes my husband will kindly remind me that I can't do anything about a situation, so it doesn't do me any good to worry about it. In other words, I like to overthink things, and I know I'm not alone in this. There are plenty of others out there that overthink things as well. If I were to go out on a limb, I would assume that most people that ... read more

‘Tis The Season Christmas Throw Pillow
Have you started decorating for Christmas yet? I have not, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to have it up. I've always been one to wait until after Thanksgiving, this year is different and I don't know why. I was in stores the end of September and seeing Christmas and Fall, and I was so not excited about Fall decor, but Christmas, I was loving it and excited about it then. Maybe it's ... read more
