Fall is here, well sorta!

It’s beginning to look like fall in my house (not the temps outside though!)!  I changed out the placemats to red/yellow/green, put some pine cones out, made up a burlap wreath and of course Target had some awesome pumpkins in their dollar bins (not a dollar but they $2.50 was still worth it!!).

It all started because I went to Hobby Lobby to get a lamp…baaahahahaha!!  Yah, what a joke right!  I didn’t find a lamp but I made out with this stuff for only $14!!

So here’s my wreath!  I still need to cut some burlap to hang it from but I wanted it up so bad I just hung it straight on my door!  I love it!  I got the brown burlap and the chevron burlap from Hobby Lobby.  I know you can’t tell it’s chevron but you will once I make my bow to hang it up with!  This was also my first time to make fabric flowers…so easy!!!  I watched this tutorial from Jen over at Tatertots and Jello.

Next up is my mantel.  I wanted to do some Halloween decor but I just can’t come up with anything at the moment so I decided to start with Fall.  I absolutely love these pumpkins from Target!  I also used the FREE shape from Silhouette to get my pumpkin in that frame.  That was my first official Silhouette project!!!

Back To School 2012-2013

So yah….we’ve been back to school for 3 weeks now and I was going to write about the survival kits I made and well I’ve been so busy I haven’t had any time!!  So here goes!!

Back to School Survival Kit

I decided to be all crafty and give the boys teachers a back to school survivor kit.  I figured a bunch of candy was the right way to go.  Then I thought well I bet they’ll have dry hands too so I got them some lotion.  Then I said oh hell they’re gonna have a headache too..so motrin it was!  It was a fun little super easy way for us to say welcome back to school.

I’d been super busy since we had our little “staycation” the weekend before school started that I’d forgotten to even do these.  They seriously took me all of 15 min (minus the 15 min store trip) to make.  I hit the candy isle and then the trial/travel aisle.  I spent more than I thought I would but I was doing it last minute…oh well.
