This post contains sponsored content and affiliate links. I love decorating for Thanksgiving. It feels like fall's last hurrah, so all of the pumpkins and leaves and fall colors explode around the house. I never really thought about Thanksgiving much other than a big meal day until I lived in another country. Of course they didn't celebrate it, but even though I didn't have sentimental memories of the holiday, I missed it. Now I make a point to celebrate it with my family and to give thanks for ...

Witch Silhouette Halloween Pillow
I'm a bit of a pillow junky and realized that I didn't have any Halloween pillows in my closet. That's pure craziness, especially with my love of going overboard for Halloween. During a recent wander of Target, I found some great pillows in the dollar bins and I immediately had the base for some fun Witch Silhouette Halloween Pillows. This post contains affiliate links.

Firefly Frame
I've had a lot of fun playing around with paints and mixed media lately (in case you haven't noticed!), and I've been using it in a lot of my recent swap gifts. I wanted to make something with a frame for a fellow Firefly fan, and played around until I created this fairly simple Firefly Frame. I used a frame I had in my stash, paints, black vinyl, and my Cricut Explore. I started by painting the frame green. I then sprayed both the frame and the cardboard insert with Glimmer ... Read More
Vinyl Queen of Everything Tote
I was really excited to be able to chat with the lovely people at Expressions Vinyl when I was at Snap last month. I already loved their products, so it was fun to be able talk with them in person. To top it off, they gave us some vinyl to bring home to create something with. I ran straight for my Cricut Explore and played around with a few ideas. In my house full of girls everything is about princesses and queens, so when I saw this crown in Design Space, my Vinyl Queen of Everything Tote ... Read More
