Over a year ago, I created an outdoor seating area in my yard with a few concrete/cinder blocks and some wood. Sadly the top of the bench didn't last long. Just before this summer, the wood warped, and the adhesive that held the wood to the concrete block base of the bench dried up. I debated whether to fix the bench or find another use for the concrete blocks. My family and I never used the bench much, so I nixed the idea of rebuilding it. (Even though the bench was pretty!) I thought about building a fire pit with the blocks, but my daughters didn't think we'd use it much. Continue reading...
DIY Fall Gallery Wall
I love decorating my home for the seasons. My decor isn't always planned -- sometimes I go where my whims take me. Recently, a trip to my local Target store spurred a new DIY fall gallery wall in my home's living room! For me, my home is one big craft/art project! Luckily my hubby doesn't complain about it much. When I shop at Target, I love stopping at my local store's dollar spot area.

Fall Bucket List Jars – Yogurt Jar Crafts
Today I am joining some of my blogging friends in sharing fall crafts made with glass yogurt jars! For my craft, I used two glass yogurt jars to create two fall bucket list jars.

The jars are filled with pretty wooden pumpkin-shaped tokens on which we can write the fun things we want to do this fall. (Like bake a homemade apple pie!)
