A while back, my mom bought me a variety of unfinished paper mache and wood cutout Christmas trees from Hobby Lobby knowing that I would have fun figuring out a creative way to decorate them. I stalled and stalled and didn't do anything with these Christmas tree crafts for a couple of years - not because I didn't have any ideas, but because I had too many ideas and couldn't make a decision. Does anyone else have this same problem? I call it craft indecisiveness! Finally I realized that I ... View the Post

{seasonal style} Falling Leaf Garland
The leaves have just started changing here in Denver, but up in the mountains it's a different story. I am hoping that this weekend we might have a chance to take a drive to the foothills to enjoy all the gorgeous colors of fall. While it will still be a while before the leaves start falling in our neighborhood, some colorful leaves are already falling inside are home thanks to a quick and easy fall leaf garland that I made for our kitchen window. If you've been reading my blog for a while, ... View the Post

Rings Around South Africa
I can't believe it's already been three weeks since we returned from our trip to South Africa {if you missed it, I posted a quick trip overview the day after we got home}. I've been so busy working on the redesign of our master bedroom for the One Room Challenge {and designing rooms for two other people...fun projects that I'll tell you about soon} that we've barely started going through the thousands of photos we took on our safari and during our time in Cape Town. I can't wait to put ... View the Post
{seasonal style} Modern Peek-A-Boo Pumpkins
Today I want to share the easy tutorial for one of the projects that you saw in my Halloween Home Tour last Friday - my modern peek-a-boo Jack O'Lantern pumpkins! If you've been out shopping recently, you've probably noticed that these craft carving pumpkins are sold just about everywhere - from your local craft stores, to Home Depot, to Walmart - but the prices vary widely. I originally looked at some white craft pumpkins at Michaels and Hobby Lobby, but I just couldn't justify the $25+ ... View the Post

Easy DIY Lumiere Costume from Beauty & the Beast
My boys love Disney movies, and Beauty and the Beast is one of their favorites. Last year, Beckett and Cooper announced in March that they wanted to be Lumiere and Gaston for Halloween, but I didn't think much of it because I assumed they'd change their minds twenty times by the time the holiday rolled around. But when it got to be October and they were still set on the Beauty and the Beast theme, I realized I'd better get their costumes figured out! I started with a quick online search and ...

{five minute friday} Dress Up Your Christmas Card Display While You Wait for the Mail
I can hardly believe that Christmas card time is nearly upon us, but they are bound to start showing up in our mailboxes before we know it! I am definitely not one of those people who is so on top of it that I have cards already ordered {I am usually mailing them at the last minute}, but I do have some very organized friends and family members who always manage to have their cards arrive on the day after Thanksgiving. With that in mind today's Five Minute Friday is all making your Christmas ... View the Post

{decorating with style} Quick and Easy Striped Bathroom Canisters
I'm currently working on a minor reorganization of bathroom drawers in preparation for my monthly contributor post over at Pretty Well Organized, but, as usually, one project leads to another. As I was lining my bathroom drawers with some pretty paper, I started looking at the glass canisters on my counter and thinking how they could use a little dressing up as well. A little washi tape and five minutes later, now I have silver striped canisters! I like storing my cotton balls and ... View the Post
