It’s candy corn season! I know that candy corn is a very polarizing candy. You either love it or hate it. I personally love it and it makes me like it’s fall when I eat it; even if it’s one hundred degrees outside. So candy corn lovers, make these Rice Krispie treats and settle into fall!

Lately, I’ve been seeing song lyrics used with Halloween. It’s literally the best combination. First off, I love Halloween. Next, I love old songs; especially old 80’s and 90’s songs. So, when I saw this trend I decided to make my own Halloween decorations, shirts and bags.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.
Two years ago when the Cricut Maker launched, I really felt like we had arrived at the next level of crafting. I was blown away by the Knife Blade and all of it’s capabilities! I loved the Rotary Blade and it’s ability to cut fabrics as well. Little did we know, Cricut was just getting started with it adaptive tools and just recently released, not just one, but FOUR new tools!! Maybe you’ve already heard the buzz on the Fine Debossing Tip, Basic Perferation Blade, Engraving Tip and the Wavy Blade. I’m lucky enough to have finally gotten my hands and these new Cricut Maker Tools and quickly got to making!!
So many options of what to make with these tools! The Debossing Tip gives crisp indentation to a variety of materials such as cardstock, foil, basswood and more. The Perforation Blade gives the option of the perfect tear! Think of carnival tickets or coupon books… yep, you can make your own now!

I’m super pumped for Halloween this year. I’m ready to decorate but I don’t think it’s socially acceptable to do it this early. This week Meghan shared her Embroidery Hoop Fall Harvest Wreath. I also have my own version of a hoop wreath this week. I love a good pun, add some black and white and I’m a happy girl!
I have a confession to make: I am a craft supply hoarder. I love to buy supplies with the intentions of making the cutest things and most of the time, I don’t. Those crafty items sit in my craft room cupboards (if they’re lucky. If not, they’ll be stuffed in the craft store bag somewhere!) and wait until I remember I wanted to make them! I’ve had all of the supplies to make this adorable Embroidery Hoop Fall Harvest Wreath for over a year and today I finally made it!! Now I’m wondering why it took me so long because I LOVE it!
To be honest, it’s even better than I had envisioned! Don’t you love when that happens?!
It has been blazing hot here and I am over it. Once it gets hot for too long I’m ready to move on into hoodies and cooler weather. So, bring on all things fall and pumpkins. Here’s a quick and relaxing craft to tip toe into the season; even if it’s hot as heck outside.
Do you do Pi day?? You know, that crazy irrational number that never ends? I have kind of become obsessed with this dorky little holiday. It’s celebrated on March 14th…. 3/14….3.14. Get it?? My family and I celebrate by eating everything in pie form. I also try to teach them facts about Pi. This all has stemmed from my love of math, it was definitely my best subject in school. I even wrote a blog post about pies you can make on Pi day!
This year I found out Hailey’s teacher was obsessed with it too. I decided I had to make her a t shirt and a banner to decorate her classroom. Which also led me to make one for myself and makes shirts for my girls. We went a little Pi crazy! I’m sharing the files I designed in the Cricut Design Space so you can make some too!
“Brown paper packages, tied up with strings… these are a few of my favorite things!” I love the look of brown packing paper for present wrapping! I always have rolls of it on hand. For Christmas this year, however, I wanted to take my wrapping paper up a notch. With DecoArt Stencils and paints, I was able to do just that!!

I recently went to a home decor store and wandered around drooling over all of their new holiday decorations. Everything was SO adorable! But the more I thought about it, I realized I could make the majority of those fun things myself with my Cricut Maker! If you’ve been on the fence as to wether or not you should get a Maker, I’m hoping this post will help in your decision as I show you the versatility and capabilities of this amazing machine while I create my Christmas mantel!
