New Halloween decor




I love Halloween!  I make new decor every year.  Here are my new additions this year.

witch hat from an old record


I used the record and the cardboard case.  I purchased the party hat, from the dollar store.  I used it as a template.  I traced the template on the case.  Then hot glued them into cones.  Spray painted the cone black.  Glued them on the records.  Then decorate as you wish!

yellow gravy boat


 My new favorite, garage sale find!   Isn't she cute!  only $1.25










spoon clock

I have be seeing these all over pinterest.  Finally made my own.  Still need to find a place to hang it:)

$5 Kitchen makeover











I have been wanting to, lighten up my kitchen for awhile.  I saw a post on my sister's suite case.  She punched paper dots, and stuck them above her fire place.  I knew I couldn't use paper.  Who wants icky gross paper, stuck in the kitchen.  I found the contact paper at walmart for $5. I Knew it would work.  Next, I cut about 500+ circles on my cricut.  I figured it took about 3hrs, total to put up all the dots.  I decided to spray the electrical covers teal blue.  It was to much with everything white.  My kitchen is so fun now,  No more dark boring blah!!!  I really wanted a custom back splash and Granite.  Maybe in the next few years.  I do love the $5 transformation.  The best part is, at anytime I can pull the dots off.

Old jeans to skirts


My cute friend Mio came to craft.  We made her 2 skirts, from old jeans.  One skirt had an old skirt attached to the bottom.  The black lace was an old curtian.  They turned out darling.
