I enjoy being a product tester for several reasons. Not only do I get to try great products for free or at a discount, but most of the time it’s products I may not have thought to try otherwise. Then there are those times when I get to try something that I discover I love! When…

Doc McStuffins Birthday Party Ideas
Doc McStuffins was such a fun theme for my daughter’s 4th birthday party! Judging by all the fun and laughter we had that day, I’m pretty sure this party was a big hit with all her little friends. I absolutely love making personalized party favors, games and activities, but I also love quick and…
Happy Snail Mail Club: Large Stuffable Easter Eggs
For Easter my first thought was to send boxes of goodies rather than an actual large basket to save on shipping expenses. Then I saw this adorable post and knew I simply MUST send an egg full of goodies! Sadly, I searched high and low at the Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Walmart, Target, Joann’s, and Michaels…
Happy Snail Mail Club: St. Patrick’s Day
My Happy Snail Mail for St. Patrick’s Day was a set of watercolors for my younger niece and nephew (10 and 5), and a box of Skittles for my older niece (15). I added a shamrock sticker that said, “Sending you a little rainbow for St. Patrick’s Day” on each of them, and “Be a rainbow in…
25 Easter Treats That Won’t Rot Their Teeth
As I walked through the aisles at the store the other day I enjoyed all the fun, colorful Easter baskets, fake grass and eggs. Then I cringed at all the candy. Loads, and loads of sweets. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE sweets. I send treats to family and clients, and I eat chocolate on…
Halloween for Christmas?
You bet! If you couldn’t already tell from previous posts, I’m a little crazy about Halloween and particularly smitten by Jack Skellington. I always have a hard time making a Christmas Wish List so in mid-October I suggested to family members they could take advantage of after-holiday sales and buy some fun Halloween things to…
Just a Few Updates
It’s been a looooong time since I last posted. Halloween has come and gone. I had big plans of posting other projects and events I was working on, things that were happening, etc. but time just got away from me as it so often does. Anyway, to bring you up to date a bit, I…
44 Days to Halloween!
Maybe next year I’ll do a craft project countdown to Halloween. Wouldn’t that be fun? I’m hoping to finish a few more projects for this year. I already made my Jack Skellington. I’ve got all the piece I need (I think) to make Sally, but haven’t gotten very far, my witch table is now going…
Easy & Inexpensive Candle Props
If you don’t know this about me already, I love Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday. I am also a cheapskate somewhat frugal and I love to DIY. So when I found out you could make a ton of really awesome Halloween props and decorations for little money I made it my mission to start building…
Upcoming Project: Witch Table with Feet
If you couldn’t already tell, I’ve been in the mood to work on Halloween projects. A few different projects. (Halloween is only 65 days away, you know!) Inspired by this tutorial I decided I need my own witch table with feet. Or a cauldron with feet. Maybe both? But a table could hold the cauldron? I…
