Inexpensive Halloween Decor – Minute Mummy Candle Holders

A friend of mine posted an article to Facebook today that said Halloween is a $ 7 Billion industry – Billion with a B.  Yikes….now that is scary.  We’re spending that much money on Halloween?  Halloween?  (Sigh) Anyway for those of us that don’t line our costumes with solid gold and diamonds, Halloween can still be pretty great without spending…

Easy Pumpkin Carving – With Power Tools!

‘Tis the season for all things pumpkin. Pumpkin spice, pumpkin bread, pumpkin lattes … you get the idea, fall means pumpkins are everywhere. I love fall and pumpkins, so I’m okay with the overload.  Jack-O’-Lanterns and fall displays are super fun for families to create and then watch the light glowing later.

Back to School Blues – Denim Style!

School starts for many people this week.  Whoa!  It was move-in weekend at a university near where I live and the traffic was pandemonium.  I had the misfortune of running errands in several stores, sigh.  Amid the congestion in the check out lines and store shelves that were nearly empty, I thought there had to be a better way.  So…

Weekend Roundup….and a Preview of Things to Come!

I know it’s Tuesday so technically this post should be yesterday – but I’ve been out of town.  Yesterday I was at the doctor.  MS needs constant maintenance, oy vey, very constant maintenance.  I’m lucky that my doctor is amazing, he listens, and he isn’t even kind of surprised by what I tell him.  It is a huge plus that…
