I've always had this irrational fear of the sewing machine and have never wanted to learn how to sew because of it. But I finally decided to suck it up and let my mom teach me how to sew. :P<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My very fist project were some halloween pillowcases for my kids. I thought these would be a fun way to add some halloween decor to their rooms. These pillowcases were sooo easy! I used <a href="http://www.seasonedhomemaker.com/2012/11/pillowcase-tutorial-burrito-style.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> great tutorial but I used slightly different measurements. I wanted my trim to be a little bigger and my cuff to be a little smaller. Other than that I followed the tutorial exactly and am so happy with how they turned out! And now that I'm finally over my sewing fears I can start making more fun projects. :)<br />
<br />
Here are the measurements I used:<br />Main body: 27"<br />
Cuff: 7"<br />
Trim: 4"</div>

I made these while the kids were at school and surprised them when they
came home. I added a few candies and crafts to get them in the Halloween
spirit. :) I love how they turned out and my kids love sleeping on
them. I'm planning to make them some Christmas ones, too. :)<br />

I've been wanting to make a spell book for my Halloween decor for a while now and have seen a lot of great ones on Pinterest. But I wasn't able to find any with pages I could print off. So I created my own in Photoshop and am sharing them with anyone who wants to make their own. With the pages already created, this book is soooo easy to put together. There's still time to whip one up before Halloween! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To begin with, you'll need a book. I found this one at Savers in the "vintage" book section. I liked that it was already black and the pages were yellow and aged so I didn't need to do anything extra to the book. A huge time saver!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get the pages to curl, I used my handy little squirt bottle. I sprayed water on the corners as I lifted the pages. This gave it some texture and the water made the pages more pliable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdc0FcYLE4P2ABjjdlXiO1_-VBtpBASDKhH3E_plispRumGwyt4k5X_jvYmK-gtcfneI3JNScLODoVAAZeJCdI8M95lLQWIbwKY7IMIgpQVPjZojsLLr6U7ZjW3zKDw5LwSlYBZtEsBhJW/s1600/spell+book7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdc0FcYLE4P2ABjjdlXiO1_-VBtpBASDKhH3E_plispRumGwyt4k5X_jvYmK-gtcfneI3JNScLODoVAAZeJCdI8M95lLQWIbwKY7IMIgpQVPjZojsLLr6U7ZjW3zKDw5LwSlYBZtEsBhJW/s400/spell+book7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, you'll want to print the spell pages. My book was 8.25"x5.5" so if you have a different sized book make sure to size it properly. I just printed it on regular copy paper.<br />

This next step is completely optional, but I wanted the paper to feel just a little more aged. So I set the oven to 200ยบ and lined a cookie sheet with foil. I sprayed a light mist of water over the pages (make sure the printer ink is dry!) and bake for about 5-7 minutes until the edges begin to curl.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To mount the spell pages in the book, I used Mod Podge, but a spray adhesive would work really well, too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I super glued a black ribbon down the middle of the book. </div>

I wanted a simple and easy wreath to hang on our front door. We are renting for now and I needed a wreath that would not blend into our door. I decided to do a burlap wreath, so here is how I made it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all, I cut strips of my burlap and wrapped a $1 store pool noodle. Once at the end, I put a dab of hot glue to secure the burlap to the noodle.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I took one of my small wreaths and pulled it all apart. I took the individual branches and placed it where I wanted them and secured them in place with the craft wire that was originally holding the branches together.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then took some fake leaves that I already had and hot glue gunned them in place. I added a few pine cones that I had as well. My wreath was ready to be hung on the door!</div>

But I was talking with Chelsea one day about it and we got to thinking that it might be better to paint the branches white so that we could use them for other holidays as well. </span><br />

I've seen these around a couple places and think they are just so pretty. So I gathered up my branches and gave them a couple coats of white spray paint. I used the cheap white paint and it took an entire can to do two coats. I didn't cover the branches completely because I still wanted them to have a bit of a rustic feel. </span></div>

A few weeks ago, we made our <a href="http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2013/08/edible-glitter.html" target="_blank">edible glitter</a> and here is what we did with it. We decided to make rainbow sugar cookies. You can get the sugar cookie recipe that I used from <a href="http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2012/06/easy-sugar-cookies.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I doubled the batch cause we were taking these to a family reunion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then separated the dough into 5 bowls. I left 1 bowl its normal color of yellow. I then added food coloring to my dough and mixed it by hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took our edible glitter and poured them into bowls, so that I could roll the dough balls in the matching color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was a little worried that the food coloring made the dough too wet, but they cooked normally without any problems. We got tons of compliments on how cute they were. We were also asked for the recipe for the sugar cookies because they were soft and moist!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As many of you, I LOVE Target's $1 section. I found this cute porcelain bird and little owl in there! I just couldn't resist buying them especially since they were only $1. The owl is a dark grey color it is kinda hard to tell in the picture. I will definitely be using these in my Halloween decorations to come in October, but can be used year round as well! </div>

Now that my kids are back in school, my 1st grocery trip to Walmart with out them again turned up some surprising things. Since I didn't have my older two kids with me, I took my time and wondered up each isle. I found this cute frosted mason jar with the bird and twig for just $2.97! It would cost me more to make this so, I snatched it up. Down another isle I found this cute barn lantern and was shocked to see it was only $5.97. Again I couldn't resist. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this idea on pinterest and decided to give it a try. It didn't make it really glittery, but my kids had a blast making it and we will definitely do it again! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I measured out 1/4 c of just regular white granulated sugar and put it in each container. You can also use raw sugar and that might turn out more glittery. I will have to try it that way next time.</div>

I added about 5-7 drops of food coloring and mixed it in really good. I used the liquid kind, Im not sure how the gel would work. If you use it let me know how it works.</div>

I took a cookie pan and placed 4 "U" shaped tin foil sheets on it and poured the sugar onto it. This keeps them separated and then it makes it easy to pour into the container once it has been cooked. I cooked these in the oven on 230 degrees for about 8-10 minutes, if you use the raw sugar then bump the oven temp up to 350. Once you pull it out let it cool for a few minutes. The sugar will be stiff so i just folded the foil down and used my hand to break it back up.<br />

I used baby jars to store the sugar in. It was really easy to make and a fun craft to do with the kids. I will post later what we end up doing with our new sugar glitter!<br />

With each of my pregnancies I went in search of the "perfect" diaper bag -- something that was functional (love me some pockets!!!) and also stylish. I went through several diaper bags but none of them was what I was looking for. Wouldn't you know it, now that I'm done having kids I have finally found the perfect one?!<br />
<br />
My sister had her first baby two years ago and being the talented seamstress she is, made her own <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/129565738/large-messenger-diaper-bag-with-divider" target="_blank">diaper bag</a>. Brilliant! It has about a hundred different pockets and lots of personal touches. And it is CUTE! I am seriously in love with her bag. Not enough to want more kids, but you get the idea. ;)<br />
<br />
She's started selling them in her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/129565738/large-messenger-diaper-bag-with-divider" target="_blank">etsy store</a>. If you or anyone else you know is pregnant, you should check out this bag. I'm telling you, you will be so happy with it! You can view it <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/129565738/large-messenger-diaper-bag-with-divider" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love to have personal touches in my Christmas decor, so I decided it would be fun to have each member of our family's name on the tree! I was so excited to start this project and my kids just loved the idea of having their own special ornament on the tree. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used 2 frames that I already had and got 3 more from the dollar store. I used 4x6 frames cause I did not want them to be too heavy for the tree. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I spray painted the frames white and roughed them up a little with sand paper. I chose white for the frames cause I wanted it to pop against the tree but you could use any color.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used the stencils that I had gotten from the <a href="http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2012/11/christmas-mugs.html" target="_blank">Martha Stewart</a> campaign. I think you could achieve the same effect with vinyl or paper and mod pod. I baked the glass in the oven for 30 min at 350 degrees to set the paint. Then I used a hot glue gun to secure the glass to the frame.</span></div>

One of my favorite gifts to give teachers is a set of personalized cards. They can use them as thank you's, notes home, etc. I made a set last year but ran out of time to make some for the teachers this year. I decided a printable set would be quick and easy and I could use just print up new ones each year. </div>

After printing, cutting and folding I just added some envelopes and a little bit of bakers twine. And there you go - a quick and easy gift!<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you'd like to print up a set of your own you can get a blank copy <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/view/?n8h1ge114oi5vwu" target="_blank">HERE</a> and add in your teacher's name. Or if you don't know how to do that, you can get a generic "just a note" set <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8kb6355k6nxv7nn" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Enjoy!</div>

The great thing about this list is that they are all part of a series so there are many, many books to read!</div>

<u><b>Bonus Series</b> (Read Alouds)</u><br />
<br />
I've also been reading the Fablehaven series with her and we are on book 4. I absolutely *adore* this series! I'm not sure it would be one she could read on her own, but it is a fabulous read-aloud book and I am more than happy to read it with her. :)<br />

<br />
When we're done with this series we will probably read Percy Jackson together, followed by Gregor the Overlander. I love having a child that loves reading as much as I do!!! <br />

My friend introduced me to these delectable little treats. I picked them up from Costco, but I'm not sure where else you can get them. They are snowflake shaped pretzels dipped in peppermint white chocolate. They are soooo yummy! They satisfy my craving for a salty/sweet treat. <u></u></div>

It's no secret that I love doing fun things to celebrate the holidays. I've seen a ton of cute advent calendar ideas on Pinterest, but <a href="http://shannonbrown.typepad.com/life_in_general/2011/12/advent-4-ways.html" target="_blank">THIS</a> one stuck out to me. I like the idea of doing activities during the month of December but without being tied down to doing one every single day and without being tied down to what specifically we'd do each day. A bucket list gives us the flexibility I need but also provides us with lots of opportunities for FUN!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids and I came up with a list of things we want to do this Christmas season. Most of them require little effort on my part and are low-budget. I'm hoping this will be a fun family tradition. I printed and laminated the list so we can cross things off as we go and can reuse it again next year. <br />

My rating: 5 of 5 stars<br />
<br />
This was such a good book!!! It was easy to read and easy to get sucked into and I couldn't put it down. It was heart breaking and thought provoking and made me want to reevaluate my life. It made me more grateful for the things I take for granted every day and made me think about what is truly important in my life. I fell in love with Sarah and loved watching her through the trials and joys in her life. I adored Jack and couldn't help but smile whenever she talked about him. Beautiful, beautiful story!!!<br />

My rating: 4 of 5 stars<br />
<br />
I thought this was a great ending to the series. I loved that there was plenty of romance, action, and twists. My only complaint was that the ending seemed a bit rushed and the epilogue was a bit cheesy. Other than that I really enjoyed the book and the series over all. Can't wait to see what Becca Fitzpatrick writes next!<br />

<br />
Another great book in the series. I am thoroughly enjoying reading these with my daughter. Brandon Mull is such a fantastic writer and I love that he's not afraid to use "big" words. My daughter and I have had many discussions on vocab words from this book. ;)<br />

<br />
This was the perfect end to the series. There was so much that happened and it was such a fun ride. Evie is one of my favorite characters ever. She is so fun and witty and I love her voice and all the emotions she feels. And the supporting characters are just as great, too. Such a fun series and I am truly sad to see it end. Time for a re-read. :)

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was such a fun project to do! I found these cute mugs at the dollar store and had originally planned to do this project with vinyl, but when I was asked to try out these <a href="http://bit.ly/blueprintmartha" target="_blank">Martha Stewar</a>t products I knew they would be perfect for my mugs. Every year, on my husband's side of the family, we do a siblings gift exchange and these mugs are what I chose to make for their gift this year! When I got the box in the mail this is what I found:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Im not sure who was more excited about what was in the box, my kids or me. I told my kids that they could decorate their own Christmas mugs and they wanted to get started right away. They were disappointed that when I told them they had to wait til December to make theirs. Ok, so there are endless possibilities to the things that you could make with what was in the box, but I decided to keep it simple and stick to my original plan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 3: Run a line of paint across the top of the letters and use a <a href="http://bit.ly/blueprintmartha" target="_blank">glass paint squeegee</a> to drag the paint down.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 4: Choose an embellishment and place it on. I used a <a href="http://bit.ly/blueprintmartha" target="_blank">paint dauber</a> to apply the paint for these.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found these stencils very easy to work with and the paint was very forgiving. When I found smudges and bleeding, I took a toothpick and was able to clean it up easily. I had used a more fancy font on a different mug and I wasn't sure how I felt about it, so I left it until the next day. I decided I didn't like it so I took a spatula and was able to scrape it off easily and start over. </span></div>

<br />
Of all the books and series I've read, Harry Potter is, and always will be, my favorite. There is just so much depth, character development, and pure magic woven throughout the series. I've said it before, but J. K. Rowling really is a genius and master story teller. It amazes me how much she wove through each of these books and how everything comes together in this final book. I have loved listening to the audio books this time around. Jim Dale is absolutely amazing. I don't know that I can go back to just "reading" the books now! I took my time getting through this last one because I knew it would be bittersweet and I'm glad I did so that I could enjoy it longer. I have that feeling I had when I first read the series -- happy that it was such a great ending and a great journey, but so very sad to say goodbye to these characters and their stories. Is it too early to start another re-read?! :P<br />

<br />
I can't quite decide how I feel about this book. I am a huge fan of the Maze Runner series and was so excited to get this book to see how it all started. It didn't feel quite as gripping as the Maze Runner and I was not as fully invested in the characters in this book. It took about 3/4 of the way through to get to where I couldn't put it down. It was quite gross and disturbing, which I really should've expected since I know what the virus does to people. It was interesting to see these characters experiences through the flashbacks of when the sun flares happened and their journey a year later when the virus was released. But it was all just so .... sad and depressing. As interesting as the prequel was, I'm not sure the trade of was worth it. I dunno, still on the fence on this one! 3.5/5 stars

<br />
It took me about a week to read 60 pages -- never a good sign for me! The main character, Yara, just really grated on my nerves. I think the author was going for witty/sarcastic, but she came across as bratty and obnoxious. The boy love interest was just as bad. I just couldn't bring myself to keep reading a book I was NOT enjoying. :/<br />

I thought this was a great end to the series. The romance aspect of it got to be a little too much for me at times, though. I found myself rolling my eyes and wishing they'd get on with these life and death situations already! :P Overall, a fun series to read.<br />

I wasn't expecting to like this book. I didn't really care for the second in this series and it had been so long since I read it that I couldn't remember what happened. I was surprised to find that I couldn't put it down! Nora has lost her memory at the beginning of the book so she was just as blind as I was while trying to piece things together. There was so much happening in this book and I loved the way the revelations and memories came back to her (and me!). I also fell hard for Patch in this book. I've loved his story and transformation even more than Nora's. I'm so glad the last book comes out in a couple weeks because I am dying to see how it all ends!<br />

I kind of had a love/hate relationship with this book. I went into it having absolutely no clue what it was about and I was instantly intrigued. I loved the writing style, I loved the main character, I loved the narrator (audio book), and I loved the concept. There were times when Jake was in Derry and it was so intense and I couldn't wait to find out what happened. But once he left Derry, I found it to be a little slow. There were some interesting things going on and maybe it's my aversion to politics, but I didn't really care too much about the plans to stop the assassination and I found my interest waning. There was also a lot of adult content and language, much more than I am comfortable with. I finally decided to stop reading and read a synopsis online. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to finish it because it sounds like some really good twists happened. At the same time I'm satisfied with what I did read and okay with my decision to stop. A good book if you don't mind the content (and the length of the book). It was just a little too much for me. :/<br />

<br />
I was a little disappointed in this final book in the series. Most of the book felt long and drawn out, mostly because there were so many things happening at the same time with different characters. The entire book only takes place over the span of a day or two. There was a lot going on but I just didn't feel the "on the edge of your seat" moments like I did with the first two books. And then everything just ended so abruptly. I'm one who likes all (if not most) ends tied up and I definitely didn't get that from this book. I just had a feeling of sadness and disappointment. Overall I enjoyed the series and would recommend it, but I just wish that after I had invested so much into these characters there was a little more hope at the end. :/ <br />
<br />
Update ....Whew, I just saw that there will be a 4th book in the series! If Flesh & Bone wasn't the ending to the series then maybe it wasn't so bad after all. As long as I get more closure in the next book then I can live with the ending of this book. :)<br />

This is becoming one of those series I don't really love, but can't seem to put aside. I don't like Kaylee and I don't like Nash. They both just kinda bug me. I'm also not crazy about the writing. Yet I still find myself wanting to read the next one! Maybe they'll grow on me as the series goes on...

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just LOVE the floating glass frames <a href="http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween-decorations-part-2.html" target="_blank">Chelsea made</a> and had to make some of my own. These are such an easy and inexpensive project to make. I'm thinking I need to make some for other holidays, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To start off, I used some old frames that I had. I spray painted them white and used sandpaper to rough up the edges. For this one I used a cherry wood frame and I like how both the cherry color and natural wood color come through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlnhdX920xbD8V2xsnAR9iYGisjTGFl8m1vh6sX9btLGocpCocccCYzkNyhUAU6T6W_zOP6NHXwbgfvQCleLR9U5khxHxPhScZLBiW8paxhpMaFsM9suJxiMAJeLKRbygHzn3Osbly4Zoa/s1600/floating+frames+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlnhdX920xbD8V2xsnAR9iYGisjTGFl8m1vh6sX9btLGocpCocccCYzkNyhUAU6T6W_zOP6NHXwbgfvQCleLR9U5khxHxPhScZLBiW8paxhpMaFsM9suJxiMAJeLKRbygHzn3Osbly4Zoa/s400/floating+frames+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I removed the back of the frame and added a dab of glue to each corner to keep the glass in place. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also added ribbon to mine so I could hang them, but they look cute sitting on an entryway table like <a href="http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween-decorations-part-2.html" target="_blank">Chelsea's</a>, too!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my cricut to cut some black vinyl. I used the Paper Dolls cartridge for the skull and tree and and svg file for the bat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love the way they turned out!</div>

My kids LOVE Team Umizoomi so I was excited to see these cute printable pumpkins on <a href="http://www.nickjr.com/printables/geo-jack-o-lantern-activity-pack.jhtml" target="_blank">nickjr.com</a>. I printed the pumpkins on orange paper and the shapes I printed on white but then colored them with a marker. I laminated everything, cut them out, added magnets and now the kids have a fun, reusable game that's perfect for Halloween and learning their shapes! <br />
<br />

We used dollar store cookie sheets for ours but they would also be fun to play on the refrigerator. You don't even have to use magnets if you don't want. <br />

I am really loving scarfs right now! I think they are a great accessory for a Fall wardrobe. However, they can get pretty pricey. I was doing some grocery shopping at Ralph's (a Kroger store) the other day and happened to see a display of scarves. They were all super cute and only $4.50 each! I decided to pick up this cute polka dot one. I love getting a bargain. :)<br />

Last year I shared with you some <a href="http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2011/11/fall-subway-art.html" target="_blank">Fall Subway Art </a>I made. I decided to utilize the back of that one and turn it into some Halloween Subway Art. Two for the price of one. :)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my Cricut to cut out a bunch of Halloween related words onto cardstock. After painting the board black I used Mod Podge to adhere the words on. I added another coat of Glossy Mod Podge over the entire board to seal it all in. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also wanted to show you these platters. I picked them up at a thrift store for maybe a dollar each. I love that they are a nice, solid metal (not like the flimsy dollar store ones) and they already came tarnished and vintage-looking. Add a dollar store crow and some spider webs and they are the perfect Halloween decoration! </div>

This is a super easy and really cheap project (my favorite kind!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started out with some <a href="http://www.michaels.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Michaels-Site/default/mProduct-Show?pid=gc2155&start=12&cgid=products-generalcrafts-unfinishedsurfaces" target="_blank">ready-to-finish wood frames</a> from Michael's which are only $1. I spray painted them black, roughed up the edges a bit with sandpaper and then added some embellishments. That's it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a cute addition to my Halloween decor and it's so fun to display my kids' costumes from the previous year. </div>
