Welcome Home Saturday

Welcome Home Saturday – Halloween Favorites! A few of my favorite things this week and some Halloween favorites!

Hi friends! How was your week? This week went by so fast for me!! I shared THREE DIY projects plus two on instagram lives. I also launched a PRIVATE Facebook creative group with my friend Kim at @todayscreativelife. It’s going to be so fun! The reason I fell in love with blogging was the connections and friendships I made with readers and fellow creatives. I feel like we kind of lost that as social media like Instagram and Pinterest took over. I want to go back to connecting one-on-one and sharing ideas.

Creative Living Collective

Each week we will have at least one LIVE tutorial. We will keep all tutorials in our archives so you can access them anytime. We are also going to share so many freebies and giveaways. Plus we are going to have guests who will be teaching classes. It’s going to be so fun! So many ideas to make your life easier and more beautiful!

New Projects

This week I created three pumpkin projects!

The Great Pumpkin Porch

I always looked forward to Halloween and watching The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. This year I decided to base my Halloween porch on my childhood favorite! I spray painted inexpensive jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin buckets COPPER and I love the way it glows in the sunlight and at night!

10-Minute Chalkboard Place Cards

I found these unfinished wood pumpkins, added a coat of chalkboard paint and ribbon for the cutest place cards for autumn gatherings!

10-Minute Pumpkin Light Up Wreath

This wreath is also a 10 minute project. I love how it lights up at night!

Favorite Halloween Ideas

I am right in the middle of decorating our mantel for Halloween so I thought I would share some of my favorite items for easy Halloween decorating!

Wall Bats

These PVC bats are the easiest way to decorate! They’re made to use inside or out! And they come in three different sizes, plus they are inexpensive!

Black and White Cozy Throw

This cozy blanket can be used all year round but it looks great at Halloween too because of the black accents.

Pumpkin Waffle Maker

Make pumpkin shaped waffles are fall long! Aren’t these the cutest?? I have a great pumpkin recipe you can use too — The Fluffiest Waffles Ever!

Crow Farmhouse Runner

Here’s a spooky runner with a cottage or farmhouse vibe. I ordered this one and I am working on a crow-theme dining table!
