Light a Candle because they are beautiful and they smell wonderful

We will be lighting some candles at our house today, It's my BIRTHDAY!

When we have a birthday at our house, the birthday person gets to pick out where they want to go out to eat, and everyone has to agree.

Beeswax candles, smell so yummy!

My favorite scents are clove, cinnamon, hearth, pine, beeswax
I burn scented candles all the time.  I have candles all over the house

I sell Real Estate, when I do an Open House, the smell of a candle is always
so welcomed by guests coming in

I leave a window candle in my upstairs window, which is always lite,
I never turn it off, it stays lit 24/7
It's my memory candle in honor of my mom and my brother

Happy Friday

Frightful Friday

Halloween is fast approaching, I found some awesome ideas to re-create for your home, or your Halloween party!!

A mini re-creation, use a wooden fence or a metal fence, spanish moss on the bottom, mini hay-bales,

mini pumpkins and gourds, some cornstalks some mini animals, and make the "Happy Halloween" sign using scrapbook letters, most items can be purchasd at a local craft store

Make these for your steps, using 1/4" plywood, paint the wood white, print a font from your computer print out, cut as a stencil, and stencil on the plywood, or if you have stencils on hand, stencil , attach the boards with mini nails or a strong tape

Vintage birdcages, used as a vignEtte, place a feathered crow on top, some branches from outside as a back drop, spanish moss in and around the cages, spider webs and some plastic spiders and you have an instant scene

In the bathroom, buy some plastic fangs place them in a glass near the sink with a toothbrush, they will be wondering who FORGOT THEIR TEETH !!!!

An instant message, using index cards, stencil, hand draw or print from the computer words to

 re-create a message place inside glass cloches, using old prints from the computer or from an old book, place behind the glass cloches

White cotton kitchen towels, using clip-art, you can transfer these onto the towels, iron them on and you have wonderful images for Halloween.  I have some clip-art  at the bottom of this post, that you can right click and save to you computer.  If you need a tutorial on how to do this, let me know and I will post one on my blog

Create an area of your house with cobwebs, these vintage lamps, have been painted black, the material has been removed from the metal, showing a bare boned lamp, nice idea to create ambience

I especially LOVE this!

Notice the skelton, residing on the bed, the chandelier covered in cobwebs and the black crow perching on the bed.  What a great idea

If you don't have a white couch, to get the look, cover your couch in white sheets

Stencil a sign "The Witch's Inn"

you can use an old frame, print this out on your computer, or stencil it

If you can't find a white pumpkin, paint one white, using acrylic paint, or spray paint, hand paint something on it, and place a funky hat on top

Above photos belong to "Better Homes and Gardens"

Feel free to use this clip-art skelton, for your creative ideas.

Save to your compter, and print out

This would be nice printed out on sepia toned paper, and put in an old frame.

You can coffee stain your computer paper first, let it dry, I am impatient so I put the paper in the

microwave to dry, just a few seconds at a time, check the paper, if it isn't dry, do it again for a few seconds more, until it is dry  Make sure your paper is completely dry before putting it into your printer

Put the paper in your printer, and print.

Another clip-art to use, same thing, put in a black frame or use for another project

Save this to you computer, print them, cut them out, and hang them from fishing wire in your windows

This is an umbrella, that has the material re-moved, hung up-side down from the ceiling, add spider webs, mini plastic spiders, and battery operated lanterns. I think this would look especially neat on a front porch

Have fun with these ideas, I know I am going to

HAPPY FRIDAY

INSPIRED

I am so often inspired by others creations,

I look at pictures on the internet of what others have

created and I am so inspired and in awe. 

There is so much creativity among us.

I love talent and creative people!!

Simple things make me happy

Bulap with stamped lettering

This beautiful arrangement using things from nature outside the store of

"The Curious Sofa"

Taking a tea saucer that no longer has a companion tea cup and putting a bar of soap tied with a bow, great idea for a gift

Adorable idea using sweaters, that have been washed and shrunk and hung on the crib, you could also use this idea for the windows

This one struck me when I realized my hose was just lying on the ground, take a bucket and wrap your hose around it, too cute

Linen and old sacks, cross stitch a saying or name maybe initials,

cross stitching is quite simple to do

Found this the other day while surfing, I adore old books, this idea is so creative and a great way way to show-off your creative side

Another idea for old books,  especially the books where the covers maybe are missing or completely destroyed, tie with some twine and showcase them

This is such a cute bag, seems easy enough to make,

or is it!!!

A tin can, punched with a design, candle inside and hung from a tree

Thought this was quite adorable and useful, my daughter could use one of these in her room, a picture frame with chicken wire fastened to the back

Inspiration Board

 I have to make one of these for myself,

using a frame put cork inside the frame

and paint it WHITE

And, this creative lady, used a tee shirt and

cut it up to make this adorable scarf

~NO sewing involved~

Love this idea for the stairs, paint your stairs color of your choice,

trim out for the middle color when dry stencil some numbers of letters

GO BE CREATIVE

I get very creative this time of year

Inspiration has hit me, how about you?
