 It's sunny but wintery cold here in Boise today, and I'll be curling up in a chair with a cozy throw, a cup of hot chocolate, and some HGTV while I work on one of my fun Valentine's Day projects for the rest of the afternoon. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Halloween Decorations

 TRICK OR TREAT!

(Oct. 2017 Note - I apologize for any broken links in this post. Bloggers come and go over the years, and, sadly, sometimes so do their links!)
 
  
 Because most of our home is off-limits during our remodel, my craft room has become Halloween Central at our house this fall. 


  Last year I had a blast making Halloween decorations inspired by my blog buddies and Pinterest. My Boo blocks were inspired by The Crafting Chicks tutorial.



 The framed Trick or Treat artwork is from a free download created by Karen at The Graphics Fairy.



 This cute witch's broom parking sign is a free download from Kristy at The Diary of Dave's Wife, and my black witch's hat (my favorite Halloween decoration) was inspired by Sherry's gorgeous witch's hat at The Charm of Home.

 I added some creepy bottles to my decorations this year. These Halloween labels can be found on Pinterest here,



here, and  here.



 My Halloween banner is from Jenny's free download at Allsorts



  
The adorable vintage art for my Halloween Tag Collection comes from my old Broderbund Holidays and Celebrations CD.



  
 I'm so excited about decorating my little craft room for Halloween that I wanted to share something with you, too. 



 Just click on each photo below and when it opens in a new window, right click and save it to your computer. Each vintage tag measures 2.5" x 4".

 









I love creating holiday tags using vintage art. 
I just print the pictures out on cardstock and glue them onto stiff mat-board. Next, I add some chunky glitter here and there and tie it with a ribbon. I store my tags in ziplock bags with our other holiday decorations. They're fun and easy to make, and they make me smile every year when I unpack them!

Friday Finds


Today, for Friday Finds I'm sharing my favorite craft room inspirations. 

My idea of a really good time is looking at other blogger's craft rooms. I love to see how artists organize and store their stuff, and the design elements with which they surround themselves to inspire their creative processes. 

I pinned lots of different kinds of craft rooms on my Pinterest, and after a while I started seeing a common theme throughout my favorites.

All of them have an organized look of beautiful clutter. 

(I totally realize that statement may only make sense to me!)

What do you think?

A Re-Purposed Life

Thoughts from Alice D


The Old Grey Mare

These spaces all definitely say workroom, while still maintaining a sense of femininity, comfort, and even opulence.  To me, it's pure luxury to have all your art and craft supplies organized so beautifully at your fingertips in your own room. 

I started out being in a big hurry to get my new craft room finished, but now I'm realizing it takes a lifetime to put together collections like these. These rooms aren't just where art is created, they are works of art in themselves. I'm finding a huge part of the fun and satisfaction of remaking my own studio is finding just the right way to say, "This is my space." 

In fact, it's been so much fun, I kind of hope I'm never done!

Thanks so much for finding your way over to my Friday Finds today.

Happy Friday! 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
