Teal Pumpkin Project - Free Printable

I LOVE the idea of a teal pumpkin so that all kids can

enjoy such a fun holiday, today!!

I whipped up this quick printable that you can place

near your blue pumpkin and special bowl full

of non-sugary sweets, enjoy!

and here's our teal pumpkin, complete with

baby ghost feet, isn't it sweet?!

my other kiddos enjoyed painting and carving their 

pumpkins, now for some trick or treaters!

Happy Halloween!

Spooky Mummy - Kid Craft

If your kids are itching for a Halloween craft to make,

this is the easiest one out there, truth!

Just snag a empty TP roll

(we used a roll that used to have tulle on it, so it's a little sturdier)

A hot glue gun (parental supervision needed here), a roll

of toilet paper and a pair of googly eyes (you can find them

at your local craft store or wally world)

I added one drop of glue and pressed the end of the 

toilet paper onto it before handing over to my four 

year old. He wrapped and rolled till all the brown was

covered and then I added one more drop of hot glue

to finish off the other end, so

the toilet paper wouldn't unravel from the roll. 

Two more drops of hot glue that your little one can 

press the googly eyes into and tada....

The easiest Halloween Craft Ever!

I think he's pretty cute too.

Glamorous Gold

Remember this Trashy Treasure, I vamped up HERE back in 2012?

I found a new spot for this beauty above the doorway in our Sunroom

but orange just wasn't going to cut it with the turquoise and yellow decor.

Soooo, out came the bottle of gold spray paint, again...haha. Hope

you're not getting sick of the color yet?!

DIY - Pantry Makeover

It all started on a scratch piece of paper...

The four large wire shelves just HAD to go. Whoever

can keep their pantry organized and clean with those,

high five! This girl just isn't a fan of wire.

I apologize for not taking a before photo...the wire 

shelves were removed too quickly and thrown to

the curb for trash pick-up.

The hubs spent two days on this project and we 

love the results!! The only thing we changed while

he was cutting and installing the wood was making an

extra pan/tray cubby, so we ended up with four instead

of three. Once we were able to visualize the gap, it just

needed an extra cubby.

Note to self: paint before, touch up later...

I was the painter and couldn't help but get paint

all over me. Obviously, I'm NOT a professional!

With the ceilings being high...putting a large shelf above

would be silly, since we wouldn't be able to get to it, so 

a skinny shelf proves to be the PERFECT spot for vases

since I still haven't opened the cupboard above our fridge yet.

and here it is in it's non cluttered glory!

Have you updated your pantry? Leave a link to your
pantry post in the comments below, we'd all love to see!

Coordinate with Paint

I added this piece in our Sunroom (just not on the main

wall) and wanted to  have it flow with the room, 

so a bit of frog painter tape,

a touch of GOLD spray paint and tadaaa...

An easy way to update a piece of art or make

it coordinate with the tone of your room.

I actually like it better now!

DIY - Just Spray Paint It

Paint it....black GOLD!!!

If you happened upon my sunroom wall post, 

then you know I went a little crazy with the spray paint.

Step away from the can...haha

The reason the wall took me all day,

was because I tweaked a few things here and there

as I was hanging and just so happened to have one

can of spray paint in the house... Thanks to an

impulsive buy at the craft store and because I

give away all of our paint before we moved

this past summer, boo...

'Stuff'

The birdcage was fine but looked a little dull, so it

got a new facelift and now sits center stage ready

to clip some Instagram photos to it. Orange wasn't

happening in the room but I love the frame, so of 

course...gold but I'll probably end of repainting it 

black. I even got down and dirty with the screws

for the birdcage since they are visible. I think I

might be painting a few of my hubby's tools next!

'LOVE'

This little nugget was tucked away for a rainy day,

with plans to make a Shhh, don't ring, sign...but as

you can see, nada wholada going on with it. It was

however the perfect size and color for 'the wall', so

I dusted off the Cricut and made a very sketchy

stencil. I taped one letter outline down at a time,

using a bit of snail adhesive for the inside little bits

and sprayed. The paint dried fast, so I was able

to move onto the additional letters quickly. By the 

time I got to the 'e', I was pretty darn proud of

myself and will be trying my hand at more of this

in the future but maybe with proper tools.

Fall in LOVE with Decorating

Swung by Wally World today to snag a few of my favorite

glass jars (yup, I just said Wally World) and to my surprise, 

I found a few other fun items, to get me in the mood to pull

out the dreaded but fun orange topped tubs from storage...

Two pieces of black 'creepy' gauze, One large glass jar, One 

black large pumpkin, A sparkly BEWARE sign, A large black owl

and A roll of black sparkly tulle were the only purchases. 

The rest was tucked away, nothing got broken in the move, woohoo!!

I didn't realize my hubby had a fear of rats until last year,

when his co workers would leave them in unsuspecting places

and he'd end up chucking them back at them...haha

...let's see if he can find the two in our house! 

A little bit creepy, a little bit dreamy...

and a lot of fun, don't you think?
