I don’t know about your house, but that’s pretty much the way things work around these parts all the time!.

Aren’t my new dollar store crows the prettiest?Around here, we get a ton of crows in the Fall and Winter (real ones).

People here hate them.They chop down trees to try to get rid of them.They hold crow hunting contests to see who can kill the fatest one.

But I kind of love them.Don’t tell the locals!

Oh, oops… I just did.

I think they’re pretty!.You know what though?

I actually managed to get everything together in the course of a few days with no help at all, thanks to all of these easy projects I came up with that took me no more than 10 minutes each.It all came together to create this great cheerful first impression that seems perfectly well-planned out even if I just stumbled my way into it..

I wanted RED so I went and found these red stockings in my Christmas bins and this red picnic blanket that was with the camping supplies.. Next I went and quickly cut all these cedar branches from outside, just whatever I could carry easily in one trip.I stuck them in the stockings and in a vase and around here and there..
