What a weekend friends! I can’t even really get into it. More bad news with our kitty and I just get too upset talking about it. She has all kinds of problems and there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s so sad.
I don’t even know how I transition from this to a DIY or craft project but I have mentioned on here lots of times before that being creative is what keeps me sane. I need to occupy my brain with other things besides my common worries, which might sound strange to some of you but it really helps me.
So today I only have a simple quick DIY today that I did for my daughter’s Halloween party table, just in case you were wondering what the straggly black centerpieces were:
Well it’s as simple as buying some Ikea Fejka artificial potted plants, some Rub n Buff and a can of flat black spray paint. I first painted the grass black and then used my finger to apply some Rub n Buff to the top of the pot. That’s it! Can’t get any easier than this, right?

There will be a bigger post tomorrow so stop back again.
