By 5 Comments

I could not help myself this week. There were so many fabulous projects linked up I had a really hard time narrowing down the features. So, I got to this point, gave up and figured I would feature them all. Get ready for a marathon of features.

DIY Under $5

By 7 Comments

I have a whole slew of easy Halloween projects to share for our party this week. Nothing in either display cost more than $5 to make.

Now let’s see what you have up your sleeve!

I enjoy so much your $5 projects that I decided to add an addition link section for anything under $15! That’s right. It will open up a place to show additional projects that can’t be purchased with an Abe Lincoln, but are still totally affordable! I can’t wait to see more from you!

Please remember:

  • Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand) or $15 or less in the 2nd section.
  • You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. Do not link the same project week after week.
  • No linking giveaways or items for sale
  • Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!

Easy Halloween Decor

By 1 Comment

I have to admit I pulled out my bin of Halloween decor and was not loving it. I wanted a mostly black and white theme with pattern and texture and it was no where to be found. So, what to do but get to work. Lucky for me, I have a lot of really talented friends so I was able to get my decor put together in a snap. I am all about an easy Halloween this year and there were a ton of super quick big impact projects to be had.

Here is a shelf in my front room…

  • Candelabra: Target $2.50
  • Free printable Halloween Subway Art from the lovely ladies at Eighteen25
  • Drippy Candles: made a few years ago, melt black ones and drip on orange
  • Happy Halloween: 50 cents after Halloween last year (Dollar Tree)
  • hung on pillar candle atop candlestick, both on hand
  • Houndstooth Pumpkin: Houndstooth duck tape ($4 w coupon) atop a $ store pumpkin
  • Spider web: huge pack for $1

Let’s point out that the whole easy Halloween shelf cost less than $10. Yes sir.


My piano was looking quite barren, so she too got an easy Halloween spookover. Pardon the worst lighting ever.

  • Wicked Pumpkin: $ store pumpkin painted plum w/ chipboard stickers
  • Spider Web Plate copied from the fabulous Char of Crap I’ve Made
  • Apothecary vile: old diffuser vase with green and purple candies
  • Patterned pumpkin: fabric mod podge $ store pumpkin on a plum candlestick like Love Sweet Love
  • more web

Then, I took a lesson from The Simple Things and scattered the rest of my spider rings around the room.

Do you have any fun and easy Halloween tricks?

5 Faves with Somewhat Simple

By 1 Comment

Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie and I am excited to be here today! Michelle and I actually go way back- we swapped blogs 2 years ago, so when I saw the line up of bloggers who were participating in The Dating Divas Blog Swap, I was excited to see Michelle and I paired up this month, just like the good ‘ole days.

I’m here today to show you 5 of my most favorite projects that you will find on my site Somewhat Simple.

I get invited to a lot of baby showers. I’ll show you an easy way to turn a boring baby boy gift into something great simply by wrapping it in a cute baseball glove!

This couple’s collage hangs over my bed and is a fun reminder of the good times my husband and I have spent together.

I’ll be honest, I hate to exercise. For those of you like me, you’ll love this exercise block!

I haven’t found a better way to keep my family organized! This Dry Erase Glass Calendar is a hit!

One of the first projects I made with chalkboard paint and also still my favorite! Its a fun way to celebrate the things in life you may not normally think to be excited over.

…..

I’d like to personally invite you over to Somewhat Simple where you’ll find creative ideas of all sorts! I’ve recently invited some “experts” to contribute and together we make a fantastic team with ideas you are sure to love!

Thanks Michelle for having me!!!

Bye everyone!
