I don’t think I have ever blogged about my neighborhood during Halloween. We are blessed to live in a cul ~ de ~ sac of kindness. Phyllis always sets up a candy station in her front yard first. Ponce plays music all night long and Alan delivers refreshments via a wagon and a cooler. It’s so much fun that my kids actually prefer to remain in “the circle” and pass out candy then go begging for it door to door. Every year I make a little something special for the neighborhood kids.

Saying Boo to a Bad Bathroom
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the bathroom lately. No, not like that. I’ve been trying to find a way to fall in love with it. Strangely enough, 97% of master bathrooms in Phoenix have no doors. Yes, you read that right. No doors. I’d like to talk with the man who thought that was a good design idea. (Yes, I am sure it was a man.) Saying Boo to a Bad Bathroom. The entryway into our master bath is over 9 ft tall. It would take an incredible amount of good luck finding a door to fit that ... View the Post
Spice Girl
I spent Sunday afternoon cleaning and organizing my spice cabinet. It didn’t really seem like work. So this Spice Girl made a few changes. It all began when I spotted this old spice rack at a thrift store a few weeks ago. Do you see the $5.00 price tag? It made me think about what my current baking center looked like. Then I spotted this gem at the Goodwill. (You can also find vintage and antique spice racks and bottles on eBay.) While I have plans for the blue spice rack, I gave this ... View the Post
Fall Fun With Felt
I’ve been busy this week creating a few new, but inexpensive, fun fall projects. I am having Fall Fun With Felt. First up I made a holiday wreath using leftover yarn found at the Goodwill. I cut several extra snowflakes out to use in other projects that I will reveal when it is actually the holidays. :) Of course, this didn’t solve my dilemma of needing a new fall wreath so felt and I became friends again. Fall Fun With Felt I overestimated the amount of felt that I needed for my ... View the Post
Shake Your Pom Pom Wreath Tutorial
I created this wreath a few months ago knowing that the holidays would sneak up on me and be here like… tomorrow. I am so glad I did. Here is the Shake Your Pom Pom Wreath Tutorial. While out shopping at Goodwill I spied a huge bag of leftover yarn and thought I could incorporate a bit of the yarn trend with a pom-pom wreath. (The base was a recycled grapevine wreath.) I know you’ve probably seen pom-pom wreaths. One of my favorites is by Bleubird Vintage. I thought that using a light ... View the Post
Mum’s The Word Fall Wreath Tutorial
While the thermometer might read 110 degrees here in Phoenix my heart says that it is fall. I recently created a new wreath for the front door. Here is the Mum’s The Word Fall Wreath Tutorial. As a child my grandma Mary always had a garden full of beautiful marigolds and mums during the season of autumn. I thought that such a happy memory would be a great way to welcome guests to our home. For the felt leaves I used a template from Creating Cupcakes. Holly used embroidery floss to ... View the Post
