Zig Zag Pics

I wanted a bulletin board in my office at work to spice up one of my walls. I found some fabric scraps and picked out some bold ribbon. I used my staple gun to tack the whole thing down to a batting-covered canvas. Now I can display some loose photos neatly with some flare!

Halloween Treats

It was time to decorate for Halloween and I was a bit disappointed when I got down my boxes from the attic. I hadn't crafted anything for this holiday yet and the boxes were a clear indication of that. I needed a mantle statement! It was time to get on Pinterest and get some ideas. Three things came into focus, a chevron pumpkin, a "boo" print, and "trick or treat" garland. The printables I usually found don't print as nice as I need them to...today wasn't any different. It was time to make my own. I found some scrapbook paper and some letters. I then printed out the trick or treat letters on my printer and cut them out. I had some fabric to use as the background and got out my glue stick to bring it all together. I gave up on taping the pumpkin, like Martha Stewart would do, and just decided to paint the chevrons myself. My three little pieces came together with my other mantle items and now I can be happy to walk by my Halloween display. Yay!
