White + Fall = Goodness

Hello everyone! What a beautiful day we are having here in Southern California (100 degrees)
Fall is in the air...just not our air! hahaha...could it be any hotter? I guess so....

Please be sure to visit Kathleen @ Faded Charm for

more adorable White goodies and decorations. Love

those white pumpkins!

Blessings,

Debbie

A crow theme? What crow theme?

Apparently....I was told by a close relative...(ok it was hubby)
that I may have over done it with
decorating with Crows!

I have absolutely no idea what he is talking about!

But wait till you see the fall quilt I am working on!

Blessings,

Debbie

Decoupage Jar~candle holder

http://somedaycrafts.blogspot.com/

Hey everyone! I love fall/Halloween

crafts and decoupage is as easy as it

comes. I found several free Halloween

images on google~saved them~printed them

off (onto cardstock). I also used scrapbook paper that

I found from Joann's store.

Use a glass jar~brush Mod Podge on the area that

your paper~label~or vintage image will go. Press it on

trying to remove bubbles.

I did find that 1/2 glue and 1/2 water mixed together works

well too~FOR THOSE TIMES YOU RUN OUT OF

DECOUPAGING FLUID! Next I added the glue on the

rest of the jar and sprinkled black Martha Stewart

glitter on.

Add a bow and you are done. I set a small glass votive

holder in the top of my jar and put a candle in it and used

it for a candle holder!

For this

candy corn and

the very first jar

picture~glue one

stripe at a time~

add glitter~

let dry~

add the next stripe of

decoupage glue~

add glitter...let dry...

and so forth!

Yipee! Don't you love HALLOWEEN CRAFTS? I do!

Blessings,

Debbie

Outdoor Fall Welcome

Finally, finally things are blooming. I don't know about you

but I have planted so many flower seeds hoping for an

abundance of flowers everywhere. YOu know those

English gardens? Everywhere you look there are blooms,

shrubs, rose bushes...that is what I want...so I planted

and planted....fought off dangerous GOPHERS....RABBITS..

SQUIRRELS....but the only flowers that do well

are the ones I've planted in containers on the porch.

Ok maybe there was a kitten or two...maybe

even a concrete skunk (above)....

And hopefully before the frost...my morning glories will

bloom their little hearts out!

Blessings,

Debbie

Kitchen ~Dining room redo...

There are crows in my dining room! Usually everything
on this buffet is white...serene...peaceful...calming...a little
shabby....now it is a little questionable!














I took a metal basket filled it with cream burlap, pumpkins
indian corn, fall leaves and then propped a couple of
crows on it. I love it!

Joining in with Susan! Hi Susan!

We have lots of these Metamorphasis

projects going on at our house! I've gotten

more done because of blogging...

my hubby loves it. Procrastination

is GONE!
First of all....the all white shabby look is

visiting other rooms for the moment...
The house for the most part has had an enormous change

with .....

fall colors....warm, cozy...inviting....Time to put up the

lemonade and get out the hot apple cider (it was 90 here

in S. Calif...who am I fooling?)

Below was my buffet table for spring....this is how it looks

without the crows!

This cute little Trick or Treat banner was made by the

now famous Cherry @http://cherrysjubileehome.blogspot.com/

I love her stuff...she never ceases to amaze me! So

talented. And now some of her work has actually been on

the Melissa Francis site (famouse scrapbook designer)

Woohoo for Cherry! I'm serious, you should order something

from her...you won't be disappointed. And hey we need

to support each other and all the Etsy shop gals in the blog world!

I just tacked it to my dish cupboard! The cupboard is

now filled with orange, black and fall colors.

my plate cupboard...usually filled with

white pitchers, plates and things.

A rusted pumpkin, a framed stitchery...a few tiny pumpkins

and old kitchen utensils...

Glad you came by!

Blessings,

Debbie
