Happy Monday, y'all! We had an amazing weekend of celebrating the upcoming holidays, honoring veterans and shopping and antiquing in Tennessee. I will be sharing photos soon! To kick off the week, I'm posting my first Christmas craft of the season. I know some of you are ready and others will say it's too early. :D This year I plan to be a bit ahead of the game, so I can keep my sanity a bit more....ahem, maybe. I loved making my Ruffled ...
Banners & Garlands
Ruffled Fall Felt Garland
Fall is definitely in the air at our house! I love to celebrate a little bit of Fall {decorating, cooking, enjoying the cooler weather} every day. It just makes me so happy!

4th Of July Freedom Banner

Homemade Pennant Birthday Banner {Tutorial}
A couple of weeks ago, I worked feverishly to get our new-old house ready for Ridley's birthday party. Since we just moved, I had to work some magic late at night to have the living room, kitchen and breakfast area {oh, and the bathroom too} ready for company. I kept decorations simple with streamers and a pennant birthday banner. Food and gifts make the best decorations anyway. Last year I made this banner which was a great hit, so this ...
Homemade Fall Leaf Banner {Frugal DIY Tutorial}
Y'all aren't tired of Fall craft tutorials, right? I hope not because I think you're really going to love this one. When I was three or four years old, I did a leaf project similar to this while attending a summer day camp. My brain is constantly working, dreaming, creating and coming up with new ideas. So, I reverted to my childhood and created a homemade Fall leaf banner... Isn't it adorable?! This craft is both kid-friendly and Fall ...
