The 4th of July sneaks up on me every year. I always try to wait to decorate for a holiday until the beginning of the month of that holiday, and well, 4 days isn't a long time to enjoy red, white and blue decorations. If you're like me and haven't decorated yet, or even if you have, this banner comes together really quickly thanks to painters tape and spray paint so you can get it done and hanging before today is over!

Halloween Decor:: Starring White Pumpkins
A neighbor walked into my house, and after seeing all the pumpkins asked, "Who has the white pumpkins on sale?" The answer: No one.

And can I say that I love what my Halloween decor has evolved into!? I do. When my husband comes home to find our house decorated for holidays he thinks how much did this one … [Read more...] about Halloween Decor:: Starring White Pumpkins
