A last minute DIY is really needed when someone hasn’t made any plans to have a halloween costume: then they have to whip up something at the last minute! Sounds familiar? Yes. So I’ve got a super easy masquerade halloween mask which serves up as a pretty good solution when you don’t have any time to think of costumes and…
Hello friends! I’m posting this a bit late, I know- with Thanksgiving / National Pumpkin Day (yes! if you haven’t heard of that- it was on Oct 26th!) but I don’t leave my pumpkin decorating!

I’ve got to confess something before I begin- lately, I’ve been in a DIY rut. It’s like I have so many ideas- and yet I can’t seem to get any done. I’ve got half finished projects…

I think it’s so important to stay in that zone- where…
