Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Christmas Ornament made with jewelry pieces from Hobby Lobby

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Christmas Ornament

1 Sep

Hello friends! I know that we’re not ready for Christmas.  I am sitting here in shorts, the first college football game hasn’t been played and the corn stalks haven’t even began to turn brown yet.  So, why Christmas ornaments now? Well, I am planning to decorate my Harry Potter tree for Halloween and keep it up for Christmas!  (Makes total…

Potting Bench Refresh

20 Aug

Hello again friends! I wanted to show you a project I took on recently.  Years ago, I had gotten this little potting bench (which I don’t think was originally built to be a potting bench) and it had been sitting behind our cabin accumulating “stuff” until it just looked junky.  I was up early one morning working in the yard…

Laundry Room Makeover

12 Aug

Hello friends! I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recent makeovers…my laundry room!  As you know, women spend a lot of their time in both the kitchen and laundry room.  When either of these rooms are unorganized, it makes the whole house seem chaotic.  Well, chaos was ruling my world because my laundry room was off the…

Thanksgiving debate…turkey or ham? I have made m Thanksgiving debate…turkey or ham?
I have made many turkeys on Thanksgiving Day, but my fam chooses ham.  This year, I will most likely order a honey baked ham for our dinner.  Not only will it save me time and energy, I am positive that all leftovers (if there are any) will be eaten. 
Do you serve something other than turkey on Thanksgiving?
Regardless of what is eaten on your day of thanks, be sure you set a pretty table!  Here’s one of my tables decorated in happy colors for Fall.
I hope you have a blessed and happy weekend!

I saw all kinds of baby items that we never had when my children were born. I may have to educate myself on how to care for babies all over again! 🍼

Well, October means chocolate candy to me!🍫🍫🍫
One of my favorite childhood candy treats is Reese’s @reeses peanut butter cups.
You just can’t go wrong with the delicious combination of peanut butter and chocolate. 
When my daughter was planning a Halloween party, I knew I wanted to make Muddy Buddies but decided to go all-out by throwing in everything chocolate, peanut butter and Reese’s to make an unbelievable snack treat. 
The recipe is on the blog!
WARNING—Do not make this alone like I did. You will need supervision to make sure taste testing is held to a minimum!

I recently showed how to make the extract on the blog and calculated how much it cost to make…not to mention a blind taste test with the family to see if the homemade extract really tasted better than store bought. 
The results surprised even me!

I’m the person that will tell you that I found a great decor piece at a thrift store or garage sale AND brag on how little I paid for it! 
Are you that person, too?
If so, you’re gonna love these pinecone flower napkin rings that cost almost nothing to make!  They are definitely something you’ll want to brag about!

Come visit with me at Mulch and Paint and we’ll make these together in minutes.
