Country Living magazine hosts a fair in Columbus Ohio and Atlanta Georgia each fall. The theme of the fair is to come and experience “country living” with hundreds of booths showcasing talented artisans, antiquers and fantastic fall flavors. Well those of you that know me, know that I’m a southern girl (born in Alabama, college in Texas and …
This morning I thought I would share a lovely and easy way to display fall treats. It was as simple as popping into my JoAnn Fabric and Craft Store and picking up two wood slices (in the wood crafting section) and two mini bales of hay (with seasonal) and stacking them. And then to my bakery for some …
I’m just in love with the argyle pattern that we’ve used throughout our new Pumpkin Patch collection. It was the very first element that we designed and then the entire collection came together from there. I hope you love it as much as I do! We shot this party (photography by my talented friend Angie of Angie Arthur …
In this world of IMs, Tweets and Facebook, the art of a handwritten note can get lost in the shuffle. I know I’m guilty of it. That’s why I’m excited to introduce the “Get Carded Challenge” from Hallmark — a fun way to help us connect and re-connect with the special people in our lives “just because.” …
As you know, I hosted my son’s Robot birthday party this weekend. Well, let me tell you that it didn’t go quite as I had planned. I can laugh about it now, but in the moment… WOW. I had it all together. It was colorful. It was fun. I had activities. We had the backyard …

We shot this collection and our new harvest collection, which I plan to share with you next week, in late July. Both were photographed by my good friend Angie of Angie Arthur Photography and both on an actual working farm, Freeman’s Farm, not …
Playing around in the kitchen with my boys, I whipped up these easy marshmallow monsters treats on a straw. They would also be really cute on a pretzel rod! First I dipped all my marshmallows in melted green candy chocolate, available at most craft stores. I picked mine up at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores. For the witch, …
Acorn chocolate cookie treats! It doesn’t get any easier for fall and Thanksgiving goodies. I made these for my kid’s Thanksgiving holiday table, for their school fall festival party and for our annual pumpkin carving party! You’ll fall in love like I did with this sweet treat. They’re so fun to make, and even more …
We had four little monster’s for this year’s Halloween photo shoot: a witch, a Frankenstein (or better yet, Frankette), a vampire and a mummy. This morning I’m going to share our adorable mummy and how his DIY costume came together. You’ll need: white t-shirt, white pajama pants (if you can’t find them, Sew Jewell on …
We shot our new Halloween and harvest printable collections several weeks ago and I’ve just been dying to share. I know what you’re thinking… what have I been waiting for?! Well lots of things, none of which I can tell you right now {raising eyebrows up and down with a sneaky grin}. But now it’s finally time …
