Aren’t these skeletons amazing?! I wish that I could take credit for them, however, my mom is the creator! She made these out of old milk jugs! My little skeleton family! My husband, son and I! So cute! Notice all of the detail…. painted nails, earrings, a tie, a Halloween sack, etc. She did an amazing job and we love them! Thanks Mom! We love you!
I was brainstorming ways to grow herbs for my husband, whom is a chef, and yes, I am spoiled I know, and I came up with this idea. We drilled holes in the bottom of a Ball jar that we had in the cupboard, added some white rocks that we collected on the beach near our home, then dirt, then the thyme! Boom! Cute planter for herbs. I am super pumped to be growing herbs verse paying $5+ for a package that we use half of and throw out. Super wasteful! Plus, its cute and sits in our glass window off the kitchen which is perfect for growing! I plan on doing several of these! Parsley is next!
Happy growing!

Like many of you, our fridge is one of those that is not magnetic on the front and the sides are covered by built in cabinets. Its a nice fridge, though, I am very sad that we can’t plaster a million kid art pieces, magnets, etc. on it. So my mom and I created a magnet board for my son out of a cookie sheet and contact paper. We chose the contact paper that matches the wood on the side of our cabinet, stuck it to the cookie sheet and boom! We stuck it on the cabinet using adhesive squares so that we can move it as he grows. It works like a charm and my son loves it! Happy crafting!

I used a map to wrap my girlfriends baby shower gift and put a heart right by Australia cause that’s where daddy is from. Maps as gift wrap are super fun!
Painted on some rocks and threw them in a planter next to my fall/winter cabbage! Super fun to think of random words you can paint on the rocks. I think I may add a few racy words on the next batch for my rose garden.
This year I decided to do something a little different as far as pumpkin decorating. Rather than carve a pumpkin, I decorated the outside with gems and beads. This was definitely the less messy route! I used Household Hogar Goop glue so that I can just roll off any access around the edges or on the gems. If I would have used super glue, it would have dulled the embellishments.
