It's that time again....

Finally, it's my favorite time of the year! Halloween is right around the corner. Living in Texas its always a hit or miss with fall weather, usually its unseasonably warm or flat out freezing. I'm praying for a true fall this year (please!!); the open your windows, hoody and jean wearing, cider and cocoa drinking, fire in the fireplace, leaves blowing, I think I need a blanket kind of weather. It's already the end of September, which means its time to get the fall/Halloween home goodies out....

a K with a crown...

This project I actually completed back in the summer, but just realized I had never posted it to my blog and its way too awesome not to share. Oops!! Its probably one of my favorite crafts I have learned lately, and had so much fun creating it with Becky (my mother-in-law) and Jamie (my hubby's aunt). Amazing what a little wood stain, glue, glass beads, and bling will create.....

It's been way too hot!

Omg, it has been way to hot lately!! This past holiday weekend, I spent most of the time trying to redeem our yard's worthiness. It is simply a total mess. We just haven't had the time, and kind of have been a little lazy too, to do our yard like we used to. So, while the neighbors are out watering twice a day and de-weeding all the time, I just simply mow over my weeds. Yup, I believe Martha Stewart and HGTV, that its not always necessary to get rid of all your weeds as they attract Birds, Bees, and Butterflies ( or as I like to call them, the Weed B's). But I don't really have an excuse for letting my nicely done flower beds, that came with our nicely built home, go all scraggly. So, I made it my mission on my long weekend to clean them up a bit. Its amazing how a little bit of fresh mulch does a world of difference......
