Fall Decorating

I actually spruced up my mantel for fall this year. With the help of a little Pinterest inspiration, some items I currently had, spray paint, and Target's $2.50 bargains, I am so pleased! Tutorial for the cute candy corn garland here, I modified mine a bit.

We'll give it a try...

I have wanted to do this for a while, maybe not so much to have a blog for people to follow (because there are so many amazing blogs out there already), but for my own portfolio of things... Somewhere between working full time, being a wife, taking care of my awesome 1 year old, walking my dog (sometimes), cooking, cleaning, (the list could go on and on).... I try and find some time to do fun crafts. It is my relaxing time! My "me" time! I really enjoy it, so why not keep track of my projects in a fun way? I can't take credit for coming up with all the ideas, thanks to Pinterest there is a world of endless possibilities at the touch of my browser toolbar. How cool. And overwhelming at the same time!

So, here goes nothing!
