DIY doing, Disney lovin', Diet Coke drinkin', party planning Mamas
I saw a shirt online and I totally wanted to get it for my daughter. It was like $20 which isn’t crazy but sometimes I don’t like spending that much on a holiday shirt. $10 and under and I’m sold. So I decided to make my own version. I made it in like 30 minutes and it was perfect for my teenager!

Last year, I posted on Instagram about making easy Thanksgiving place cards. This year, with the release of the Cricut Easy Press Mini, this project became even easier! Get ready to decorate your Thanksgiving table with style and impress all of your relatives!
The EasyPress Mini is a pocket-sized heat press and is perfect to pair with any of the other sized EasyPresses. In this case, you’ll only need the EasyPress Mini for this craft! The possibilities are numberless when it comes to what you can use the Mini with! Think hats, shoes, sleeves and this goes on!!

I like to collect Disney pins while visiting the parks. I’m not an avid collector but I do like to find pins that represent someone or something special that we might be celebrating during that particular visit. My kids also like taking pins they no longer enjoy and trading with cast members for a new pin. Through the years, we’ve collected quite a bunch and after storing them in a box, I ran across the idea to use Disney VHS clamshell storage for pins a few different times online and thought I put together a post for others who might be looking for a fun storage solution!
Not only does this pin storage solution keep your pins organized and accessible, it also utilizes another Disney collection you might have laying around your house! Disney VHS tapes!! I, unfortunately, tossed my tapes long ago but found these at my local thrift store for 50 cents each!
This all started with those wispy spider webs in the bag. I decked out my porch and it looked cool for minute. The problem was that is kept falling off and it drove me crazy; but I wanted webs and spiders everywhere! I saw a small popsicle stick craft making a spider web and thought I should make it on a larger scale. So I bring you my oversized spider webs DIY!
It’s that time again!! Time for another Girls Night In paint party with Social Artworking! This time we chose the Picking Apples design. Apple picking is definitely a sign of fall around these parts being that we live about an hour and half drive from a grouping of apple farms called Apple Hill. If you’re ever in the area during Autumn, you must pass through there and try all of the apple goodies! And a Picking Apples paint party was a perfect way to celebrate the season!
There was also another reason this particular painting called to me. My husband and I inherited my Grandad’s truck some years ago with dreams of eventually fixing it up. My parents also dated in this truck so it hold a lot memories of our family’s history. Here are a couple of photos of my kids throughout the years in the truck.

If you need to quick easy gift ideas I have them right here! Target does it again with the cutest fall stuff at Bullseye’s Playground. I found these adorable bags and thought they would make the cutest gift bags. In fact, if you need a quick gift I got everything at Target so it would be a one stop shop! Did you know that you can order some things from Bullseye’s Playground online?
Halloweentime at Disneyland Resort is an amazing and festive time of year to visit!! The decorations are wonderfully spooky and the treats are not only adorable but delicious as well. This year, the Disneyland Resort moved it’s annual Halloween special ticketed event from Disneyland Park to Disney California Adventure and renamed it Oogie Boogie Bash. (We posted about Mickey’s Halloween Party a few years back.) My family and I were able to attend this year and I’m excited to share all of the fun we were able to experience at the Bash as well as Halloweentime at the Resort in general.

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.

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!
