A Few Happenings My youngest's volleyball team has won every game since the start of the season. We're so proud of her and her team. We have two more games left this season. This week, someone slammed our side fence with their motorcycle. Thank goodness for cameras! My husband went over to check if the individual was okay, and now we have made arrangements to get them to pay for the damage. It snowed for two days, and we were happy for the moisture. I tried a copycat version of the Starbucks sugar plum Danish recipe, and it turned out great! Instead of plum, I used black cherry jam. It was equally delicious.  Congratulations to our featured bloggers Jennifer at Studio 27 showcased her adorable Faux Mini Gingerbread Houses. She explains how she created these charming litt...

🌲 Winter is the perfect season to add cozy, handmade touches to your home. One of my favorite ways to do this is by upcycling everyday items into festive décor. In this project, I transformed a simple spam can into a charming winter floral display for faux flowers.

Allow the paint to dry thoroughly. Once dry, take a smaller sponge brush and dab bronze paint...

One of my favorite aspects of crafting is bringing new life to old projects—and this upcycled metal house from Dollar Tree is a perfect example. Previously painted for a different theme, this little house is getting a wintery makeover with decoupage, faux foliage, and a touch of holiday magic. If you have a metal house decor piece tucked away from a past DIY, this is your sign to take it out and transform it into a charming Christmas accent. Let’s get started! Quick Video tutorial Materials Needed One metal house decor from Dollar Tree (previously painted is perfectly fine!) One decorative napkin for decoupage (I used one with a Christmas wreath design) Mod Podge Scissors Paintbrush Holiday/Christmas faux foliage Optional: Epsom salt or faux snow Optional: Gold glitter glue  Prep Your Napkin and Add it to the Metal House Choose a napkin with a festive design—wreaths, holly, or winter florals work beautifully.
