Did you know that Americans spend $1.9 billion dollars on Halloween candy every year? That’s $1,900,000,000. On Candy. Oh. My. Goodness. That’s a lot of candy. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking where are you going to put all that candy before you eat it pass it out. Well, I have a couple ideas for candy storage. Today’s project is an adorable wood coffin that I’ve decorated. I found the plain coffin box at a local store in their … [Read more...] about All The Candy

Spooky, Spooky
There are two kinds of Halloween: cute Halloween and creepy Halloween. My family is partial to the creepy Halloween. We proudly display our "Bates Motel Vacancy" sign, we string up garlands made of bones, and we have several skeletons that take up residence on our porch every October. I've been working on some Halloween Decor pieces the last couple days and now they are ready for the unveiling. They appear to be quite simple, and they are, but … [Read more...] about Spooky, Spooky
Five Minute Friday – Cookie Cutter Christmas
School has been back in session almost two weeks and I'm quickly reminded of how crazy the Fall Season gets with all the homework and all the soccer. All. The. Soccer. Both kids play on the High School team and they both play on other teams as well (Club and AYSO). In addition, my husband and son are coaching a third team as well this year. If you ever need to locate me, it's guaranteed that I'll be on a soccer field somewhere in Southern … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Cookie Cutter Christmas
Cell phones and Holly Berries
Have you ever received your cell phone bill and really looked at all the charges closely? Or do you just send them money and be thankful that you have the convenience of a mini computer in your hand everywhere you go? Usually, this is me. Except when the bill comes and it's quite a bit different from what it usually is. Our cell phone bill last month was about $85 higher than usual. I hate when this happens because I can't in good conscious … [Read more...] about Cell phones and Holly Berries

Five Minute Friday – Holiday Candy Bar Wrappers
So many decisions! Now that the Holiday Catalog is out, I just can't make up my mind. Do I work on Halloween goodies? Or Christmas Goodies? Well, lucky you, because I have one of each today and both are candy bar wrappers. So a few nights ago, I decide I'm going to make up several of these to get ready for today's post. I send the kids to the store with $15 cash. I asked them to get me one regular size Hershey bar and the two notebooks they … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Holiday Candy Bar Wrappers
Candy Cane Lane
Starting tomorrow, YOU can order goodies from the Holiday Mini Catalog. And believe me, there are soooo many good things in there. As a Demonstrator, I was able to place my pre-order on 8/2, which I did. Would you believe it took me all month to break out this beautiful Candy Cane Lane pack of paper? After flipping through it last night, I'm kicking myself for not opening it soon. It is seriously so cute. I love sheet with the itty bitty … [Read more...] about Candy Cane Lane

The first card uses the brand new Halloween Night Specialty Paper, which I layered with the Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper. The banner is from the Sweet Home stamp … [Read more...] about Spooky Fun
