My mom brought my kids each a pumpkin from her garden. We always want to decorate and carve them too soon though, they always go rotten before Halloween gets here. So this year, I let my kids pick out a face from the Silhouette online store and then we cut it out of black vinyl…

Knit Bubble Skirt
I saw this idea here and knew I wanted to make for one my daughter. This is how I made the bubble skirt. My little girl’s waist is 15″, so I doubled that and added 1″ for seam. I wanted the skirt to be 8″, so I doubled that and added 3 1/2″ for seam and…

Scrapbook Thursday
I took a ton of pictures at my daughter’s blessing and I loved how they turned out, so I had to do several pages to get them all. I ended up doing 6 pages. I kept with the same colors and theme in all of them. I used my Silhouette to cut out the flowers,…
Whatever Wednesday: Ruffle Pumpkin Pillow
For the pillow case for Thanksgiving/fall, I have been wanting to make a pillow with a pumpkin for a long time. I love pumpkins! You can decorate with them for Halloween and then keep them until Thanksgiving! I went back and forth on how I was going to make it, then I finally settled on…

Motivate Me Monday #91
Halloween is definitely getting closer! I’m getting so excited. We are doing a theme (of course) for the whole family and I can’t wait until we all get dressed up and get to go out and trick or treat. Halloween is definitely my second favorite holiday (it’s a close second behind Christmas). I absolutely love…
10K
This morning I ran my second 10K. I’ve really struggled with losing the baby weight this time around. I was 5 pounds heavier when I had my little girl and it’s those 5 pounds that I can’t seem to lose. So I did Insanity and got down to my normal weight, but then the stress…
Halloween Tile
I made this Subway art tile for Halloween. I’m so glad that they have no added purple and lime green into the Halloween colors, black and orange can get a little boring and redundant after awhile. I cut the vinyl out with my Silhouette and used my Expressions Vinyl in colors: purple, lime-tree green, orange…

Here is a cute page I did for my daughter. I tore the edges and put decorative paper behind to make the corners. I used red and green Expressions Vinyl and cut the strawberries and letters out with my Silhouette. Check out these sites!
Whatever Wednesday: Felt Candy Corn
I have seen a lot of candy corn decorations going up, so it got me thinking. After much thought, I came up with this. I was going to make two of them, but then my patience ran out 🙂 This is how I made it: 1) I took a Styrofoam cone (I got mine from…

Heart Shirt
My son has a friend that had to get heart surgery over the summer. She was very anxious about this operation (who would blame her, I would be too). I just felt like I needed to make her something for when she went to get the operation. So I came up with this idea. Can…
