Fall Wire Wreaths

Well, it's the middle of September already. Holy moly. I have no idea where the rest of the months went, but here we are and we are on the downhill slide to a very strange year!  We finally got the new front door installed, and the drywall and texturizing was done 2 weeks ago.  I managed to get the guestroom, craftroom and our bedroom new drywall areas around the new windows primed and painted shortly after on the weekend, and then all of Oregon caught fire.  That was scary!  We had a crazy and unprecedented wind storm blow over from the east, along with some lightning, existing fires, and blown down powerlines, and the next thing everyone knew, there was forest fire chaos everywhere.  The sky on the morning of September 8th is something I will never forget.  It almost looked like it was photoshopped for a movie. Red, angry skies in the background and glowing trees in the front, as the sunshine tried to shine amidst the nasty smoke.  It was very "halloweeny" looking out there!  The smoke is still hanging around today.  Rains are in the forecast and fingers are crossed that they are enough to help get the fires under control.  So, between that and the darn COVID-19 that is still lingering around, I figured I might as well start on some Fall and Halloween decorations, because it the holidays will be here before you know it!

"Would Poop Here" Bathroom Sign

If you are having a hard time trying to figure out what to get as a housewarming gift for your friend's new place, look no further!  Not only will they get a good laugh out of it, they will proudly display it in their powder room!  You could easily make this out of vinyl, if you don't mind the cutting and weeding, but I made mine out of an inexpensive chalk board I found at a craft store, white chalk paste, and a re-useable silkscreen stencil.  

If you would like to make it yourself out of chalk paste and the stencil like I did, just click the links to see where I purchased the products!

Take care!
