  3. Many people wish to be happy and they bend over backwards trying to fabricate happiness, but they do not realize that happiness is so simple. And I love this list of yours. Happiness--the one that's lasting and real--comes from within.

  9. I've been journaling every day for the past week, and it makes a huge difference! I love it. I'm going to check and see if our local art museum is open these days, since the plague. I know the library isn't, unfortunately. The one I really want to do is the how-to class. That's the perfect suggestion for me, and something I'll be looking for later this afternoon. This is a list that I am going to save and revisit for continued ideas and inspiration.

  10. You've got some great suggestions here. I actually found an online painting class on YouTube that's Halloween themed and let my husband know that we're going to plan our own 'paint night' here at home for date night. It's a relatively cheap option. Most of the supplies can be purchased at the dollar store. The biggest cost is the wine to enjoy while we're painting! Lol

  11. I am up for the challenge! These are great tips, sometimes the smallest things make all the difference. I find journalling, mediation and a daily read to be the most helpful for me. But sometimes you just need to try something different - I will definitely try some of these on your list. Thanks for posting.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is hit and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our featur...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
