I love to decorate for Halloween!! You can see lots of my Halloween DIYs here. I prefer decor that is spooky but not scary or gory.

When You Can Make Everything Except Babies: What Worked For Me
I recently shared my struggle with infertility with some free printable cards you can give your friend who is TTC (trying to conceive).

Make Your Own Custom Photo Pencils and Pens
This post is a sponsored tutorial in collaboration with OnlineLabels.com and CraftyHangouts.com, but all ideas and opinions are my own.

I love using OnlineLabels.com to create my … [Read more...]
