So my craft juices are in full force this fall! I am very proud of our new home and love spending time decorating it! I have been inspired by many craft blogs and my dear friend, Crystal. My partner in crime, and in design is Susan, and we have taken over her spare bedroom with our findings. So here are my first creations for fall!!! This is a wreath that I made mostly from tulle, and a little bit of Halloween fabric. I have under $10 in the whole project, thanks to Hobby Lobby's 40% off coupon! And just so you know, there is no need to even print the Michael's and Hobby Lobby coupons if you have a Droid, or one of those OTHER smart phones. Just pull it up on your phone and they will scan the screen! The glass vase is made with Dollar Tree candle stick and a hurricane vase. I used glue to attach them then etched the R on the outside. Then we bought moss, and skulls from there, and threw in some rocks for good measure. We have about 3 dollars in the whole project. The last is one of those fake pumpkins from Wal-Mart. I got it for $5 and then spent a dollar on the tissue paper after my 40% of coupon at Hobby Lobby :-). So $6 and I have a fabulous decoration for my table!

Robinson Party Barn






































So we bought this amazing farm in Gladewater in February. One of those foreclosure finds that was unbelievable. We have put a lot of blood sweat and tears into this place. 2400 sqft, 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home with a game room, and an orchard with peaches, pears, figs, pecans and chestnuts...yes, chestnuts. But the best find of all is this great barn that we have dubbed the party barn!! We just got finished with the house and decided to start on the barn. Our mission, to totally furnish this thing with tables, chairs, and couches. Our budget, a 100 bones. So here is what we got this far. Still can't figure out how I am going to get that church pew in the loft. :-) First party is October 29th!
