It’s time to start getting your fall crafting on! Here’s a great collection of 11 free fall sign SVGs for your Cricut or Silhouette, including this original hand lettered design, “Fall is proof that change is beautiful.” Every year, without fail, we start approaching fall and I feel my crafty mojo kicking in.

Use this cute hand lettered Football and Fall Y’all cut file to whip up a fun t-shirt, perfect for football season! Iiiiiiiiit’s football season!!

Combine that with my love of fall, and come September, I’m a happy camper! This post contains affiliate links – click here to read my full disclosure. To […]

How to Create a Cozy Fall Front Porch

I’m excited to be welcoming you onto my front porch today! I always enjoy decorating my porch with the seasons, but 1) I’ve never actually shared it on the blog before, and 2) fall front porches are my FAVORITE! Yay!! I started bringing out my fall decor little by little starting at the end of August into the beginning of September…I’m sure my neighbors thought I was a little bit crazy. It took me a while to get all the elements I wanted pulled together, but now that it’s all “done” I just […]

Toddler “Trouble” Shirt – with free cut file and GIVEAWAY!

My baby boy is growing so quickly…he turned 1 year old at the end of January and is growing and changing more each day. It’s fascinating to see how different he is from his big sister. He’s more mobile and curious than she was at this age, but also more observant and quiet. One thing is for sure, though – he gets into a lot more trouble than she ever did! One day, my husband looked at him and said, “You’re just trouble, looking for a place to happen.” Evidently, it’s actually a… READ MORE

Fa la la Christmas Shirt with Glitter HTV

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in creating things for other people (mostly my kids) that I don’t create much for myself. (Anybody else feel that way?) After I finished sewing a Christmas dress for my daughter and started debating whether or not to make her or her brother a Christmas shirt with my just-arrived-order of glitter heat transfer vinyl from Expressions Vinyl, I had a bit of a “eureka” moment and realized that I don’t own any cute Christmas apparel! Of course, that had to be remedied. It took almost no time for me to… READ MORE

“Come Thou Fount” Stenciled Burlap Table Runner

You may have figured out by now that I love old hymns. If the canvas hymn art (Be Thou My Vision) didn’t tip you off, maybe it was the spring vinyl art (All Things Bright and Beautiful), or the free Thanksgiving printable (For the Beauty of the Earth). But I’m adding a new project to my hymn collection with this Come Thou Fount Stenciled Burlap Table Runner! So, what is it about classic hymns that I love so much? Well, I’m a music teacher, so the music element is a given. But it’s actually more the text… READ MORE

Map Themed Decor with your Silhouette

Create simple map-themed decor with your Sihouette to display in your home, at a shower, or to give as a gift. Perfect for travel lovers! I’m going to get a little bit more mileage out of my sister’s vintage travel themed bridal shower, if you don’t mind ;-) Today, I’m actually sharing with you the gifts that I made for her. I created several travel printables to use as easy decor for the shower, but there was one quote that was too perfect for her and needed a little something “more.” So, of… READ MORE

He Said She Said Shower Game

This post contains affiliate links – click here to read my full disclosure. This has become one of my favorite shower games, both for bridal showers and baby showers. It’s such a fun way to find out some more about the bride and groom (or baby’s mommy and daddy)! You can easily whip up the lips and mustaches with your Silhouette, if you have one – but it’s definitely not a necessary element for this game. I first did this at a baby shower I hosted last year with a slightly different variation – we… READ MORE

DVD Case Coloring Kit

You can never have enough “quiet” activities on hand for your toddler or preschooler. This DVD Case Coloring Kit is perfect to toss in the diaper bag to entertain your little one while you’re on-the-go! This post contains affiliate links – click here to read my full disclosure. About 6 months ago, I made 20 of these fun Magnetic Traveling Farms for a busy bag swap out of tin DVD cases. They were a big hit! But I bought a box of 50 on Amazon (it was the best price I… READ MORE

Heart Shaped “Word Cloud” Vinyl Word Art

I’ve been SLOWLY sharing elements of my 2.5 year old’s “big girl room” as I have a chance to add them to her room…we’re nearing the completion of her room and hopefully a big reveal will be coming soon! Gosh this thing has been so drawn out, haha. It’s been mostly-finished since she moved in before Christmas, but I’ve just got a few more things to add to the wall and a dust ruffle to make for her trundle bed. The latest addition is what I’m sharing with you today – some personalized heart-shaped vinyl… READ MORE

Labor and Delivery Nurse Thank You Bags

When I had my first baby we had a team of terrific nurses throughout our stay, but the nurse that was by my side throughout the final 8 hours of labor (including almost 3 hours of pushing!) was absolutely incredible. Her name was Sarah, and she was patient, encouraging, and just amazing in every way – I really don’t know how I would have gotten through labor without her. I had every intention of sending her a nice note with a gift card or something after we got home, but of course life with… READ MORE

Laminated Labels with your Silhouette

This post contains affiliate links – click here to read my full disclosure. Did you know that you can use your Silhouette to cut laminated labels and other shapes?!? I wasn’t quite sure how or even if it would work, but I got this laminator for Christmas (yay for new toys!) and experimented a bit to find a method to create perfectly cut laminated shapes using my Silhouette. Want to know how? It’s a multi-step process, but stick with me and I’ll walk you through it! The first step is to create… READ MORE

DIY Vinyl Wood Slice Ornaments

I don’t know about you, but I am loving the wood slice trend! You see them everywhere on Pinterest – ornaments, coasters, wreaths, centerpieces, wedding decor, and more. I actually pinned these beautiful wood slice ornaments from Upcycled Treasures LAST year and have been dying to try my own ever since. Then I first hopped on board the “wood-slice-wagon” last month when I used a large wood slice to make some chalkboard decor for Thanksgiving! You can buy large or small wood slices at craft stores, but they can be pricey. I figured they… READ MORE

Halloween Paper Bag Luminaries

This post contains affiliate links – click here to read my full disclosure. It’s been almost 11 months since we moved into our house…so this is our first Halloween with a “real house” and, from what we hear, LOTS of trick-or-treaters! I’ve decorated our front porch for fall with “pretty” decorations (mums in pretty planters, a straw bale, a wooden crate, our glitter monogrammed pumpkin, plus and a few other pumpkins) but I’m not usually one to go all-out with spooky Halloween decor. (Though that reminds me, I do have our Ping Pong Ball Ghost Lights… READ MORE

DIY Patriotic Wooden Sign with USA Map

This idea was COMPLETELY inspired by this post over on the Silhouette blog! (They’ve got such terrific ideas over there…I am constantly pinning those projects.) I was looking for something to help jump start my summer mantle, and this is exactly what I needed. So I found a scrap of wood and got to work! It was really very simple…I cut stencils out of vinyl, applied them to the wood, and gave them each a coat of paint. The white on top of the red stripes took several coats (and some patience!)… READ MORE

stay-at-home mom to three beautiful children, wife to an incredible husband, and daughter of a loving God. I freely admit that I am not always the most creative or original person when it comes to crafting, decorating, organizing, cooking, etc...but I love being inspired by great ideas and putting my own spin on them! Look around, stay a while, and I hope through my *unoriginality* I can provide some inspiration to you, too!
