                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                In the kitchen, pots and pans are a difficult part of the organizational plan…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What to do without adding a 300.00 pullout drawer?  Add a shelf in the back (mason jars prop up an extra shelf nicely), store least used items under the shelf, and store lids separately-stacked on the side…….

Make a statement with your wrap!  With today’s giftcard and tissue bag giving style, a prettily wrapped package is a personal touch for a special someone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little embellishments, like glitter letters made with card stock, help identify the gift when giving in multiples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start with a collection of leftover ribbons, scrapbooking tools, and embellishments. And voila, 5 hours later…

We acted like it was fall here in Texas at Thanksgiving, even if it really wasn’t.  Leaves hadn’t changed colors (here they go from green to brown!) and the garden was so empty, the scarecrow didn’t have a thing to do but pose for pictures!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Burlap was the fabric of choice and a fun addition it made to all the decor and tables!  I can forsee the use of the burlap ribbon in upcoming projects!

 

 

 

 

 

A new twist to a family favorite!  Mason jars serve as the container for individual pecan pie……A delicious dessert and just enough for the sweet tooth, thanks to the creative matriarch-Grandma!
