Happy Thanks Giving



Happy Thanksgiving!




This is a few pictures of my home for Thanksgiving




I incorporated Harvest Cornucopia to either side of my mantel this year with the Turkey center stage.  The pictures on either side of the Declaration of the constitution are free post card printable by......I'll try and find the link.


This is my entertainment center in the living room
I've revamped some of my Dollar Tree pumpkins and I'm really liking the added black and white check.

Happy Thanks giving!

A Dollar Tree Farmhouse Fall jar sign project

I have been picking up some new items from Dollar Tree for decorating thank goodness,
I saw this idea from one of my favorite you-tuber Jody's Craft Room and wanted to give this project a try.

Using a Dollar Tree jar sign, I added some hot glue lines to the lid area, painted over it with gray paint. 



I did a little high lighting with a black sharpie and  a  white chalk paint pin, I saw from Tracy at Country Charm by Tracy another of my favorite you-tubers,  do this and just loved use this technique.


Added some raffia and some ribbon to the lid and a "Fall Leaves and Spices" label.

This project turned out great, I think.

Thanks for stopping by.....until the next project.

Two Farmhouse DIY Autumn Pumpkins using Dollar Tree Items

Two more diy project to add to my FALL decor


Using a Dollar Tree pumpkins sign


Gave this sign two coats of Waverly chalk paint.



gluing the fall plaid fleece fabric scarf from Dollar Tree added a piece of burlap to stem.  Then added fall leaves, twine, and raffia also purchased from The Dollar Tree.



After looking at this project it needed more, so I added also from Dollar Tree a metal welcome piece and painted wooden letters to spell out Fall and added them to the decor pieces.  I think the finished product turned out very well.


I made a second pumpkin sign using a pumpkin sign form and adding the fall fleece fabric plaid scarf to cover the pumpkin shape.


Using a sign piece from another pumpkin sign, I use my glue gun and made lines to imitate corrugated metal and put aluminum foil over top to make it look like a metal piece.


Hand painted Hello Pumpkin and added a little brown paint around the edge to make it look rusted.  I'm still practicing this technique and glued it to the front of the pumpkin shape.


Thank you for stopping by, And may God Bless You and Your Family!

Buffalo-Check Pumpkin - DIY for Fall Farmhouse Décor

Hi Friends,

 This week I have been obsessed with making Buffalo-Check pumpkins for my Fall décor.


Diy Project, putting my touch to a Dollar Tree pumpkin sign.

I a saw this technique done by one of my favorite you-tuber Tracy at Country Charm by Tracy she used paper to cover her pumpkin signs.



Using a couple of the Dollar Tree pumpkin sign, I painted them all with white chalk paint two coats 



then using masking tape I marked out where to make the black stripes going vertical then horizontal; the come out with this checker board pattern.



I add a few burlap leaves, raffia, jute string and a couple of silk yellow leaves to the stem and wa.. la..

Here is how I displayed the pumpkin sign in my Fall decor.


Thank you for stopping by, until the next project.

Believe in yourself, Vicki
