Since learning how to use Photoshop, one of my favorite things to do is find and use free fonts. There are tons to choose from and new ones popping up each day, so I thought I would share 10 of my favorite fonts with you. Use these in Photoshop, Word, wherever. When you download them into your font directory, they will show up in all of your programs! For more…
For ten years now, my Halloween decor has looked like this. These two guys, a potholder, and our bubbly witch light were the extent of my Halloween decor. Last year I wanted to improve our Halloween situation, so I got fancy and made a fall wreath. I also spray painted the letters B-O-O in a sparkly purple that doesn’t match anything in the house.

I’m headed up to the mountains today for a women’s getaway. I can’t wait for the cool breezes and an excuse to put on my boots and a sweatshirt. I’m also looking forward to a little “unplugged” time.

It’s easy to throw together, and if you keep adding water, it will…
Have you discovered Pinterest yet? It’s like an online bulletin board where you can find and share inspiration. I had been looking at some fun fall wreaths and went to JoAnn with the intentions of making this Halloween wreath, but then I found these pretty pom-pom flowers. Are they dahlias? Someone help me out here. I decided to go in an entirely different direction and came up with this simple…
I have a closet full of vintage fabric that I have collected over the years. For the most part, I have used it to make and sell things in my Etsy shop. Pillows, bags, cuffs, and other odds and ends. I love these fabrics so much for their texture, color and character. I don’t want them to be hidden away in the closet any longer. I want to display them…
