How fun is this!? A rope bowl.  I think it feels a but rustic personally and I love it! Every Creative Endeavor has a great tutorial that shows you exactly how to make this fabulous bowl.

Be Thankful

Turkey Time

Happy November!!!!

Now that little crafting itch gets a little more intense...at least for me it does. It's time to create yummy recipes for all those holiday gatherings, fabulous decorations to make home feel festive, and plenty of Christmas present to make {hopefully being crafty will help the Christmas budget!} 

Now on to the real reason for the post: 

How to make a cute turkey!

This little turkey of mine is a current favorite. I don't have any power tools, though I really wish I did, so I used my resources...namely foam board. All the supplies you need are:

-Foam board

-Scrapbook paper

-Glue

-Lighter

{sometimes I get really excited to do a craft and forget to take pictures during the process...

this is one of those times....sorry for the lack of pictures :) }

Cute BOO!

Here is yet another Halloween decoration. The cool thing about this one is it's reversible. Halloween on one side and Christmas on the other! Sweet!

Happy Haunting!

I've been trying to decorate every room in my house for Halloween and it has been so fun! I had an extremely empty wall and didn't know exactly what I wanted to do. So I went rummaging through my pile of picture frames for those "someday" projects :) I found a strip of wood from a past project and found a fun frame. 

Simple Organizer

Question of the day....
          Would it be considered white trash if I use certain pieces of garbage for a craft project?

I thought about that as I was putting together this little project. I have a little pet peeve about clutter and would so much rather have something cute to look at instead of a pile of random stuff. So one day after making cake mix cookies I thought, "I wonder what I could use this empty box for?" and came up with this....

Spooky!!

I love Halloween decorations! These spooky blocks are among my favorites. They are kind of a cute twist on a scary holiday....if that's possible :)

Trick-or-Treat!

This was a super simple little project. I just found some old wood out in the wood pile, pulled out the Silhouette and viola.....a fun, rustic, Halloween sign.

Display your name!

I've been wanting to do something cute to display our name. The only problem that kept coming up was the length of our name....it's long! Everything that I would think of just looked awkward and not right. And then I finally found the perfect project. It was quite a project to get right. I wanted there to be color and variation {which there is not much of now} but the wording wouldn't show up. So this is what I have as of right now...

BOO!!!

 With Halloween just around the corner I wanted something a little more festive on my blog. I love the scrapbook type letters and overall it's kind of a cutesy Halloween decoration. Click here for a full tutorial!
Happy Halloween!!

How to build a sofa table...

My new sofa table!!!!

Making this table with my man was so fun! First thing we did was get all of our supplies...

Sofa Table

Here's a before and after shot of the sofa table I made with a lot of assistance from Chris! I have wanted one forever and now I have one. I will be doing a tutorial...it was quite easy to make. So stay tuned-the tutorial is on its way!

 Before...

After...LOVE IT!!!

Personalized Subway Art

I love subway! The concept of it is just so fun. The only thing I'm not a fan of is they all seem generic. So I personalized it. It's never easy coming up with gift ideas for men....they hardly ever give you a straight answer for gifts {please tell me I'm not the only one that struggles with gift giving for the hubby!?}

I thought I hit a moment of brilliance when I put this together. And it helped that I got a GrEaT reaction...he totally LOVES it!!! ahhh...sweet success...  :)

I'm working on another personalized piece that will be much larger and be a focal point for some room in our home. I can't wait to see it finally finished. Stay tuned!!

Paper Flowers

I love spring colors…they are so bright and fun and happy! I guess I’m a little behind on the seasonal thing but I saw these scrapbooks papers and just had to make something cute that I could use for spring decoration. I decided to make all sorts of flowers and then attached them to a wreath to make a fun spring wreath!

Girls Craft Weekend!!!

This weekend my mom, sisters, and sister-in-law came down for some quality girl time. We did one craft each day and it was such a blast! We made "spooky" blocks and the "autumn" blocks. Here is what we all came up with. It's kind of fun that we all did the same crafts but they turned out so different....

Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie

I spotted the most delicious looking pie so I made it. This pie is probably the most sinful pie I have ever taken a bite of!!! No joke! It's called Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie and here is a slice....

If you want the recipe go check out kevinandamanda.com. It is a super easy desert to make and super yummy!!! Try it out and enjoy!

Halloween Preview

     I am so excited to share this post with you!!!! This particular craft has been bouncing around in my head just waiting to come out....so here it finally is-YAY!!

     For this project you will need a few Halloween themed scrapbook pages, glue stick, black paint, wood letters B-O-O, and a paint brush.

Paper Wreath

     
     I spotted a totally different kind of wreath –made from book pages– somewhere on the web and decided I needed one! So I ran over to a local thrift store, found a 900 page novel for $0.75...great deal deal right!? I also had a foam wreath, a glue gun, and paint so this whole thing was soooo thrifty! Here are a couple of photos of my wreath in process as well as the finished product.  I tend to be a slight perfectionist so my wreath is pretty darn structured, but they don’t have to be. Below is my tutorial so read on and enjoy!!
     Just gather a few supplies and you are on your way to creating a very fun wreath...
             -Foam wreath...any size will do depending on how big or small you want it to be. 
             -An old book 
             -A glue gun
