DIY 90’s Photobooth
A few weekends ago, we had a 90’s themed party for our community group and the main attraction was definitely the DIY 90’s photobooth. The back drop was probably the easiest party decoration I’ve ever done because you can’t mess it up. All I did was tape two pieces of craft paper together and squirt acrylic paint all over. So easy a five year old could do it {literally, my five year old niece and eight year old sister helped}. The printable props are by The Quirky Quail and Cory glued them to foam paper then used an x-acto knife to cut them out. After they dried, I taped some pre-cut dowel…
Ninja Turtle Pumpkin
After pulling out all my fall decorations, I realized I had a chalkboard pumpkin but couldn’t think of what to write on it. Since I have it beside a chalkboard sign, I didn’t really want another saying on it so I asked Cory to draw the standard jack o’lantern face on the pumpkin. Wrong.

I actually took these pictures last year when I did the pumpkin but never got around to doing the tutorial. The pictures aren’t the greatest but hopefully they’ll do the job!

Burlap Fall Mantel
I know I missed the whole first day of Fall craze here in blogland but in all honesty, I’ve had my burlap fall mantel up since the end of August. I was hoping to get this post up before we left for Rwanda but that just didn’t happen {obviously!}. I decided to switch my mantel up from last year partly because it is geared more towards Thanksgiving but mostly because I just wanted something different. I originally planned on changing it out closer to Thanksgiving, since we really don’t decorate for Halloween, but I’m pretty crazy about my burlap fall mantel, so we’ll have to see! This chevron pumpkin was actually a…
