DIY Scary Cloth

Its almost Halloween Y’all!

I have to admit I am not the biggest fan of this holiday, but I feel like because I’m a mom and I want my kids to have good memories of our holidays at home I am forcing myself to decorate more and be more festive for this Halloween season.

So, in my small town in the middle of nowhere its really hard to find things you want to decorate with. I had to improvise this year and I have to say it turned out pretty cool! Our neighborhood really stepped up this year with their decorations and we had to keep up right!? 🙂 No, but really it turned out really fun and I want to show you what we did. It was really inexpensive and super easy to put together.

Paper Feather Tutorial

By Dru 14 Comments

Happy Fall Y’all! I am so enjoying the cooler weather, the changing leaves, and the thought of the holidays around the corner. Do you believe it’s already that time of year?

I finally completed my Halloween decorations which is a first for me. I’m usually waiting until the last second. While I’m on a roll I decided to get a head start on Thanksgiving. I don’t think I’m going to do much other than some pumpkins, leaves, and these paper feathers I’ve been making. Feathers and arrows are such a fun current trend. Here are a few I’ve finished that I think I will keep in my decor even after Thanksgiving.

Easy Grape Juice Canning

By Dru 1 Comment

This is the time of year when many types of grapes are ripe and ready to eat, juice, freeze, or make jelly out of.

There are several different ways to can grape juice and I’ve tried a few of them. In the past I have borrowed juicing steamers which are awesome, but takes some time. Juicers can be expensive, too.

Another way is to cover your clean and stemmed grapes slightly with water in a large pot and simmering the heck out of them. Then you strain the juice through a wire strainer and/or cheese cloth and process. This also takes some time.

But, recently I found the easiest and quickest way to make grape juice. This technique has been used for decades and the juice is delicious.

Are you looking for some Halloween inspiration? We’ve gathered together our past Halloween posts all in one place and hope they will give you some ideas.

Best Pumpkin Dessert

By Dru 4 Comments

Really!? Can there be any other season as lovely and quaint as Fall? I could go on and on about what Fall means to me and why I “fall” in love with Fall every year over and over again. The best thing is that we get together more as a family during this time of year.

Tonight several of my family members got together and had a blast at a local corn maze. This was not your typical corn maze; it was actually more like a large, old fashioned country shindig. The maze was just a small portion of it. I had never been to this one before, but I know it will become a tradition now for our family.

Bloody Valentine Cupcakes

By Jessica 13 Comments

I was thinking maybe I should be calling these award winning Bloody Valentine Cupcakes, because I won the contest for best treat at the witches party I went to last weekend. What do you think? Does that count? 🙂 No, but really these are super easy to put together and look so awesome when they are done! I almost didn’t want to touch them cause they looked so cool all together. It’s a perfect balance between AWESOME and GROSS! I know I’m a little morbid. Whatever!

Every year my friends and I get together for a witches night. Everyone dresses up as their inner witch and man can I tell you I have some crazy creative friends! I dressed up as Hermione from Harry Potter (She’s a witch guys not a wizard. I had to Google it to make sure!)
