It's May. Spring is official and we're having more nice days than not. We've pulled out our shorts and skirts and are embracing the warmth with everything we have. So, we'll just overlook the fact that I've had our winter wreath hanging on the front door well past the last of the snow melting. The girls informed me that we needed a new wreath for spring (you know it's bad when your kids are commenting your decorating!) and that they wanted something with a rainbow. After a little bit of digging ... Read More

Spider Wreath
Are you tired of Halloween decorations yet? I have to admit that I'd keep mine up all year if Scott would let me. I keep adding to it until 1 November, and even then, I take my time putting it away. I'm sharing an easy spider wreath for that last minute addition to your decor. I shared it on See Vanessa Crafts' 30 Crafty Days of Halloween first. For this project, I took a grapevine wreath and spray painted it with black Rustoleum. While the paint was drying, I cut out a spider ... Read More
