Lately I have been inspired by all of the neutral fall decor looks I am seeing online and in magazines. I especially love the white and chalky teal pumpkins, so I decided I would put some of my Deco Art paint from Haven Conference to good use and update a few of my mini pumpkins.

What I am Wearing - Fall Trends Featuring Aventura Clothing

Even though I am sad to see summer go, I love all the cozy textures and warm colors in fall clothing. Some of the pieces I most look forward to wearing are sweater dresses, leggings, boots, and cozy scarves.  Today, I am sharing how to style some of the pieces I received from Aventura's Fall collection.

Decorating a Front Porch for Fall

Fall is upon us, and even though the weather where I am is unseasonably warm, I still got in the mood to decorate for Fall.  I will probably be adding some Halloween decor soon, but this is how my front porch looks for now.

Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers and they are the perfect colors for Fall decor. When I saw this Sunflower design in the Cricut design space, I knew I had to make something with it.  I thought it would look cute in a wooden frame, sitting on the buffet in my dining room.

DIY Halloween Costumes

Halloween is a little over a month away and I am starting to plan out my costume for this year. If you have read my "About Me" page, you will know I love dressing up for Halloween! Store bought costumes can be so expensive! Who wants to spend $60-100 on something you will wear once or twice?  The last few years, I have made my own (thanks to Pinterest!) using things that I already had around the house or could buy cheaply. I spent less than $25 making these costumes!

Why My Teen is Amazing (Yoplait ® Go Big Challenge)

I was chosen to spread the word about a new Yoplait ® Go Big campaign and share how my teen is amazing.  Sometimes we get so busy that we do not always make time to tell the ones we love how much they mean to us.  I think this is especially important to do for our children, especially tweens and teens, because they tend to struggle with their identity and self worth during these years.

DIY Jewelry Holder

I do not know about you, but I own a lot of jewelry...like so much that my husband bought me a second standing jewelry chest last year! (Please tell me I am not the only one with an #accessoryproblem)  I am embarrassed to say that my second chest is getting pretty full, so I have been scouring Pinterest for ideas on how to display some of my pretty pieces.  I love the idea of using decorative knobs, shadow boxes, or re-purposing frames.

DIY Stenciled Crate

If you read my recent post about Haven Conference, you know that I brought a ton of goodies home with me.  I have been trying to figure out how to put everything to good use.  My Cricut Air came with a pack of tools that I needed storage for.  The little, square crate I got from Crates & Pallet was the perfect size!

Vintage Style Chambray Wrap Dress

One thing I love about Instagram is finding boutiques that carry unique clothing.  I found Shabby Apple through a blogger giveaway and immediately fell in love with their feminine, retro looking dresses!

DIY Treat Boxes

You may remember reading about the Gourmet Soup Party I hosted a few weeks ago. I wanted my guests to leave with a sweet treat after trying the soups, so I used my Cricut Explore to create these cute paper boxes to hold a couple of caramel kisses.
