Smokey Lights.


Who doesn't love a bonfire on a crisp autumn night?!?

To recreate a smokey charred look we blackened the inside of each jar with a lighter.

Burn baby burn.




We love this for an autumn look and might even go darker for Halloween! 
The best part is it took less than five minutes and it washes off easily!

Apple Sugar Cookie Crumb Cobbler, Y'all!

The best part of this cobbler is the simple, two ingredient, crumb topping! 


Here's what you need:
4 apples cored, peeled and cubed
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon 
3 tbs of melted room temp butter

1 package of pre-made sugar cookie dough 
1/2 cup of dry old fashioned oats (or more if you want it really oat-y)


Here's how you make it:
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
In a large bowl combine apples, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. 
Add Mixture to pie dish. 


In a separate bowl mix by hand the sugar cookie dough and oats. 
Sprinkle the cookie dough on top of the apples and throw her in the oven!


Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown!


Serve with some ice cream and enjoy!!!! 
It's amazing right out of the oven, but we like it even better reheated the next day!
The sugar cookie topping never fails.

Peeking Autumn Glow.

We love the Fall!!!!
These upcoming months are our favorite time of year.


We're excited to welcome the Fall with these cute crafts!  


We wrapped these "school" books with brown paper bags.


And made these festive Autumn jars with twine and small leaves from Michaels. 


We love the way it turned out and can't wait to start wearing our hoodies!!

Bookmarks for Bookworms!

It was a boring Thursday night, after rummaging though our scrap pile of paper and crafts, we decided to whip up some fun and funky bookmarks to send to our teacher friends!  
With washi tape, yarn, construction paper and some cut outs, we turned these boring paper tags into fun free back to school gifts!












Keep calm and read on!

Washi on, Washi off.

Washi Tape Clothespin Magnets!


Okay, so we've all seen this before, but we were excited to finally make our own.
They're as simple as they look!


Choose your washi tape wisely!
Press washi tape onto one side of your clothespin and fold or cut off any excess tape.


Cut 2 pieces of adhesive magnet strip and press onto the back of the clothespin.  
(We had to glue on the magnets because the adhesive wasn't strong enough.) 


We love the new additions to our fridge!


Yay! Organized clutter.

Don't forget your #2 pencil!

Freezer Burn.

It's a sad day when a candle burns out...but it also means a new craft is waiting to be born!


There are a lot of different techniques to get wax out of a jar but we use and recommend the freezer method!  It's easy, quick and foolproof!

Put the jar in the freezer.


After an hour or so, take it out and use a butter knife to pop out the wax.  
Most of the time it will pop out easily but sometimes you might have to work at it a bit.


Remove any excess wax with a paper towel before rinsing and cleaning.


Candles. 
The gift that keeps on giving.
