Recycled Playdough Container Wreath!

Recycled Playdough Container Wreath by Heather

 When you visit Infarrantly Creative, Jaime from That's My Letter guest-posted with this wonderfully colored wreath that is made from recycled playdough containers and dollar store plastic tablecloths! It is weatherproof, and hangs on an outdoor playset, I love it! [how to make a recycled playdough container wreath]



It is very cute and ingenious!

Fall decorating: The Mantle

Fall is everywhere. 


Decorate with the falling leaves!

 Thanks to a steady rain a few days ago, the leaves are really colorful...yellows, oranges, reds, and some still green!  I went scowering walking through the woods at Mom's and we came out at my Aunt Ang's house.  I rummaged browsed through some old things and found many glass jars.  They are beautiful.  Glass is timeless...that is unless you break it! 


Use glass containers and fill with acorns, pinecones, or CANDY CORN

So, to decorate, you don't have to have a lot of money.  Just pick leaves from the woods and decorate.  Find or buy glass jars and fill with acorns, pinecones, or CANDY CORN!  Hang empty frames with ribbons tied in a bow at the top. 

Candles add a nice touch, too!


Happy FALL Y'ALL

Adding some Halloween to tree stencil




From a previous post, I showed how to create a tree silhouette out of wallpaper.  Since Halloween is coming up, I am adding some crows and owls to the mix.

Click here  (courtesy of Martha Stewart) for the spooky owl...I am loving owls right now.  You can even put a bat on it too!

Click here for a somber forboding crow....creepy but seasonal!

Happy crafting!

A snow-craft-throw-together! {in honor of snow coming}




We are getting snow! I am so happy..you know why? Because it is not ICE! We had an ice storm last year and it devastated Kentucky. I really feel for Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

In honor of snow coming, I threw a little craft together.

Take a bowl. This bowl is precious to me...was my great grandmother's.



Take a metal plate stand. Get one sturdy for the plate or bowl you are using!



I attached a snowflake ornament from my Christmas tree to the top of the plate. Bingo. A visual reminder of what is coming in a few hours! Bundle up and enjoy the weather!

If you build it they will come
