Vegetarian taco pie or meat taco pies are a super simple and quick dinner idea. The vegetarian one can be made as a vegan one, too. Check out the easy recipes. Every time I share a recipe, I feel the need to state, for the record, that I am not a cook. At all. I actually hate cooking, especially when I am cooking for meat eaters, vegetarians and the occasional vegan. Nothing is easy, there's a lot of thought involved, a lot of modifications and a lot of mess. I would rather make a bed , do laundry or clean a toilet than prepare a meal. And I'm not even remotely kidding.

Ceiling fan blades crafts are some of my favorites. Whip up a cute set of door tags for your fall front door with  They're the perfect size and no need to sand or stain. Just stencil and hang. Fabulous. Last year, while I was checking out Pinterest for something fabulous to put on my fall front door , I came across pins for the cutest wooden tags. Of course, I fell in love immediately and knew that they'd be a perfect way to add some charm to my entryway. But let's face it, woodworking is not an easy DIY. Since I'm a lazy crafter and my idea of a power tool is my glue gun, I quickly abandoned that idea and made a wreath instead. Well, lucky me, this year, my sweet neighbors offered me a few ceiling fan blades for crafts and I knew I was back in business.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall and while I am super sad to see summer go, I thought we should celebrate ~ it eases the pain a little ~ and what better way to do that, than with a giveaway! Back in July, my husband and I were shopping at a church yard sale and I came upon a few really neat treasures. It was one of those great fairs where things were tossed in a box and labeled a dollar. I had to dig, but it was so worth it. It's where I found the Better Homes and Gardens book I gave away this summer and it's where I found the vintage tartlet tins I'm giving away today.

Turn those old thrift store or Dollar Tree cutting boards into beautiful wooden signs, cake stands, trivets or serving pieces. A little paint and wall decal to make those letters is all you need. Check out the easy DIY. Hello friends! Well, it looks as if autumn is on its way despite my best efforts to thwart it. Can't fight Mother Nature , so I decided to get into the spirit and make a few new fall crafts yesterday.

This morning, as I was cleaning out my craft closet , I unearthed my favorite stencil, a farmhouse chicken. I love this little lady and over the years I have used her to create numerous crafts, including one I have yet to feature here ~ stenciled placemats. You may have caught a glimpse of her in some of my other posts, as an uncredited player, but today, I am going to give you a brief overview of how I made her.

You get what you pay for, right? Well not always. Just because something is more expensive doesn't necessarily mean it's better, especially when it comes to home decor. I have never been one to subscribe to the "Bigger, Better, More" way of living. I'm a simple girl at heart and am wholly unimpressed by extravagance and wealth. Like my grandmother used to say, there's no escaping it, you need money, it can bring you security and a lot of pleasures, but it won't buy you happiness.
