A small container, a few white flowers (almost always faux for me and my black thumb) …
And I have a very pretty and very simple floral arrangement that I can keep out practically all year long.
Today I’m sharing an easy faux floral arrangement that I think can work for any season as simple home decor.
For my container, I’m using a small sugar bowl that I have used over and over again for decorating. It’s become a very loyal sugar bowl/flower container throughout the years 🙂 I’m pretty sure I found my “vase” at IKEA years ago, but you can find small round clear containers similar to this at the dollar store, they may not be white but clear would be beautiful too!
Then I’m using a few faux flowers from the dollar store and that’s it, no filler in the vase to keep them in place, no water, the beauty of faux, just a wire cutter to make sure they are the perfect length for my vase.
Simple Everyday Floral Arrangement
A small white sugar bowl…
Four white dollar store faux flowers…
cut down to the perfect size, and we have a simple everyday floral decoration perfect for all year decor!
And she sits on my kitchen countertop right next to my sink.
Why not have something pretty to look at while I do the dishes! 😉
Hope you enjoyed this simple everyday floral arrangement!
Thanks for stopping by.
Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
So the holidays may be over, but I thought it would be nice to go ahead and share some of the holiday decorations that I never got around to sharing for 2022.
At first, I thought it would be kind of funny to post this after the holidays, but I was kind of feeling as if the holidays were still here. I actually still have our Christmas decorations up and all around the house. We honestly never really want to put our tree or decorations away right after the holidays, my husband can actually keep everything out ’til the end of January if I let him!
Do you put your decorations away right after the holidays? Or do you like to keep them out a bit longer, and admire them a little longer than you should, like we do?
Well, either way I hope you enjoy this simple collection of my holiday decorations for 2022.
My Simple Holiday Decorations for 2022
Fall pumpkins meet a rose gold poinsettia…
The smallest “storage cart” known to mankind (a Target find a few months ago)…
This one may be my favorite. Silver glitter in a tiny shot glass with a mini blue ornament along with a snowflake ornament…
Old holiday cards on my bedroom wall (One was slightly more worthy than the other two to be framed and decorated with one of my necklaces)
Then I just taped the other two cards to the wall. I know, scandalous. Don’t worry walls, the hubby’s ready with a paintbrush for when these cards come down.
A cute penguin…
and a very girly pink ornament…
And this one is done!
Hope you enjoyed my simple holiday decorations, until next time!
Thanks for stopping by.

Hello my friends, this is a continuation of my last blog post “Living Room Fall Decor.”
Normally, I would try to combine everything I make for seasonal decorations into one blog post.
But this time around, it was as if something hit me over the head and turned the light bulb on….
Separate everything into different rooms/categories.
face/palm moment
So I decided to separate the living room and kitchen decorations into separate blog posts, but…
old habits are hard to break.
So I ended up adding in a few extra simple decorations that I have scattered in other areas of our home.
So without further ado…
Kitchen Fall Decor (and a few extras)
I made a simple drawing of yellow leaves on cardstock and placed it on a clear command hook on our countertop.
(I started with a pencil, filled the leaves in with a yellow color pencil, and with a hole punch I added some twine for hanging)
Small Cardboard squares wrapped in pretty napkins (above and below)….finished with pumpkin stickers (the kid in me)
Yep, that’s my reflection on the side of the fridge, in case you were wondering 😉
Something pretty to look at by the stove while I cook.
A single acorn in a champagne glass (I promise I’m not fancy at all, I had to ask my husband what type of glass I was using)
And a couple of acorns hanging out with a few small twigs of hydrangeas and white peonies in a pretty shot glass.
Both photos with the acorns are decorating our kitchen hutch. You can see a better picture of the hutch here
A blue candle…
wrapped with some twine and faux floral petals.
Pumpkins and glittery tinsel decorating my daughter’s room.
Here I took an old Dollar Store pumpkin and added iridescent glitter glue to the creases.
A gold sequenced pumpkin with a few pearls, silver and gold beads, and a white faux flower all hot glued together.
A very simple fall bathroom decoration. Two black and white buffalo pumpkins.
I have to admit guys…
This photo is an impostor.
I wish I could tell you that it always looks this neat but that wall cabinet seems to always attract all sorts of stuff. Hair brushes, lotion bottles, makeup and all sorts of cute toddler hair accessories.
Please tell me your bathroom works the same as mine.
ok, that’s it…hope you enjoyed this!
Thanks for stopping by.

Fall is such a beautiful time of year. The colorful leaves, the rainbow of mums, that slight chill in the air.
And those falling acorns, that I find myself trying to dodge every time I step outside. (haven’t been hit by one yet)
How can you not love it.
It’s the perfect time of year to admire our God’s creations.
Today I’m sharing all of the fall decorations that I have scattered around my living room. It’s a combination of a few simple DIY’s using faux flowers, faux fall leaves, twine as well as a few real pumpkins and some decorative store bought items.
As always, most of the items I am using came from local Dollar stores, Target as well as items I already had on hand.
I was interested in just about anything that was related to the world of arts and crafts….
Drawing, beads, decorating, pretty much anything to do with crafting.
But, as I got older, I slowly stopped many of those hobbies.
This blog has really helped me get back to my love of crafting.
So I took a chance at drawing again and decided to focus my doodling on something fall related.
In came the pumpkins idea…
I decided I wanted to have one pumpkin framed on the wall. Honestly, this idea started from a few innocent pumpkin stickers. I came up with an idea to frame some stickers that I had, but that didn’t work out quite how I wanted, so I figured why not draw my own pumpkins.
It took some time practicing, but eventually, I got it.
ok, let’s get started…
DIY Pumpkin Drawing Wall Decor
Supplies:
Cardstock (Rite Aid and Staples)
Scrapbook/craft paper (light blue and beige. I’ve had these for years. Probably purchased at Michaels)
Silver Stickers (Also something I have had for a few years)
Scissors, Sharpie fine point marker, pencil, ruler, and tape
As for the frames, I ended up using a couple of old frames that I already had on hand.
As I mentioned earlier, I practiced a number of times how to draw a pumpkin. Eventually, I decided to keep them very simple, as you see below.
I drew 4 pumpkins for each frame used, each one a different size. I then cut them out along with eight small green stems.
Then I finished with a few black lines using my sharpie marker and lastly attaching the stems onto the back of the pumpkins with my tape.
I later taped the pumpkins onto my white card stock.
Then I called for my husband’s help…
I’m kind of…No, I’m really horrible with numbers…and fractions…and anything to do with math. But I needed to find the center of my page so that I can easily center my pumpkins and stickers. Easy, right? Nope…
My frame had uneven measurements that made it hard for me to find my center point. So I got some help from my husband, who is much better at math, and science, and remembering really unnecessary/silly facts. Within minutes he had my center point and where I should start placing everything.
Now I have two adorable pumpkin frames to bring some fall joy into my home for the season.
Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been lucky enough to take a handful of trips to warmer climate areas before becoming a mom and I was always amazed at how beautiful the ocean waters were.
Beautiful clear waters…Incredible shades of sky blues and light greens….breathtaking!
Today’s simple summer decor reminds me of those waters.
It includes acrylic crystal blue gems with a pretty sparkle just like those oceans under the brilliant sun! They take me back to those beaches, if only for a moment here and there 😉
Combine those crystals with simple items like a candle, jar, and burlap ribbon and you have a simple summer decoration that anyone can bring together in a matter of minutes.
Let’s get started…
Simple Crystal Gem Summer Decor
As the title implies, this is really easy to bring together.
I’m using acrylic crystal gems from the dollar store, a white candle, burlap braided ribbon, and a jar from Michael’s.
I got my ribbon from the Container store on clearance but you can also find some on Amazon.
The one step that can use a little explaining is where the burlap ribbon is tied.
Here I’m using two strands of ribbon.
I started with one long piece of ribbon that I wrapped around the jar a couple of times, right under the lid, then I tied it off to the side.
The second strand that I’m using is a bit shorter than the first.
I ran the twine under the first twine, where it’s tied…
Then I tied that onto the first strand of burlap ribbon so that I get the effect of four strands off the side of the jar.
And there you have it! A simple crystal gem summer decor that’s easy to bring together….
And may just make you want to take a trip to a tropical paradise, or maybe just a nearby pool 😉

I started by picking out my colors. I love color! And I almost always end up with a mix of different colors when I’m decorating. So for these fall decorations, I decided to use three classic fall colors. Red, yellow, and orange but I also included some blue as well.
Then I brought in the two usual items I love to decorate with. Faux flowers and ribbon.
I added in a few classic items like pumpkins and pine cones and brought that all together with a few new items as well as items I already had at home to create these 9 simple decor items I’ll be sharing with you now.
ok, let’s get started…
9 Simple Fall Decor Ideas
For this first one, I used a white candle, a small glass cup from the dollar store, yellow ribbon, red checkered ribbon, and a few sprigs of small leaves that I pulled off of an old faux plant.
I started by securing my yellow ribbon with some scotch tape here…
then finished wrapping it around my glass and secured it again with more tape.
I finished by tying a bow with my checkered red ribbon over the yellow ribbon then tucking my small sprigs into the red ribbon. Then in goes my candle to the glass cup.
For my next one, I filled a cylinder vase with mini pumpkins then wrapped green ribbon around my vase, securing it with tape.
Then I finished off with some Dollar Tree orange/gold ribbon that I picked up a couple of years ago for this fall centerpiece.
It doesn’t get any more simple than this next one!
I used a recycled old jar, filled it with a couple of old mini pumpkins and some pine cones then wrapped my checkered red ribbon finishing off with a simple bow around the front.
Now I’m using three blue faux flowers that I picked up over the summer at my local dollar store…
and added them to a blue vase that I found at the Christmas Tree Shop, then finished with jute twine tied to my vase.
Here I used three red faux poppy flowers from Walmart, another old jar and then I wrapped my jar with three different ribbons…
To create a simple wreath, I used a small paper plate, cut the center out with a craft knife…
wrapped burlap around my paper plate and secured it with hot glue…
hot glued a few faux leaves, one sunflower pulled off its stem, and a few red berries to complete this simple wreath.
Please excuse me while I ramble a bit. I’m always amazed at how many times I’m able to reuse my faux flowers. I’ve used that sunflower you see on the wreath over and over again since picking it up a few years ago at the Dollar Tree. It started off as a couple of bunches of sunflowers but since then I’ve taken it apart many times and created a number of different pieces with them.
I’ve actually used many of the items you see today in a number of different posts throughout this blog. Those eucalyptus leaves you’ll see down below were used last year for fall decor. My single sunflower on my wreath has made a presentation for spring, fall, and who knows how many other times! My two yellow flowers accompanying that large red rose down below have also appeared a few different times.
As for those fun white chrysanthemums a few photos down, they made their debut right here. Even those sweet little red berries up top popped up to say hello here.
Anyway, I always love seeing how many times I can use these beautiful flowers and thought it would be fun to share with you as well.
This next one may just be my favorite.
I’m using another glass cup just like the one I used for my white candle, burlap, orange twine, a large faux yellow peony from the dollar store, and a bunch of eucalyptus leaves.
I cut a few stems of leaves off of that bunch of leaves, then combined them with my yellow faux flower.
And wrapped my cup with burlap and orange twine…
Now I’m using pine cones, a glass vase, glitter red ribbon, a red rose, yellow faux flowers, and faux leaves…
All of that comes together in my vase, finishing off with a simple red sparkly bow.
(Red rose from Walmart. I picked up the yellow flowers about a year ago at Michaels)
I start working on my floral arrangements and more times than not…
I reach for an old pickle jar instead of my store-bought vases.
I love them…
Beer bottles, cans, a flower pot, sugar bowls, tiny travel bottles, and even a smartwatch box. I’ve used them all!
Between the vases that I’ve picked up from actual storesand the recycled containers that I’ve saved at home, I’ve developed quite a collection.
I find these containers so easy to work with and I can’t help but wonder every time I hold an empty can of beans in my hands, what can I possibly do with this.
These three simple summer faux floral arrangements are no exception to the recycled container love. They ended up in three small jars that I wrapped with ribbon, just like many of my other simple faux floral arrangements, and then filled them with dollar store flowers and came up with three simple but very pretty summer table decorations for my home.
Let’s get started!
3 Simple Faux Floral Summer Arrangements
The first arrangement consists of:
3 stems of faux flowers, all light shades of purple…
and yellow ribbon and an old jar.
I wrapped my yellow ribbon around the jar, securing it around the back with some scotch tape…
then I took the wisteria stem and cut off a long portion of it then cut down my other two flowers to fit the jar.
And this little gal is done!
My second arrangement consists of:
3 white lilies and one stem of foliage.
White and yellow ribbon and an old jar.
I cut down my flowers to fit the jar as well as a portion of the leaves to tuck behind the white lilies and wrapped my ribbon around the jar, again securing it with scotch tape.
And this one’s ready to go!
My third arrangement consists of:
A couple of light and dark pink florals and the same stem of leaves that I used for my second arrangement.
Another old jar and white and jute ribbon.
I wrapped my ribbon, first the white ribbon, then the jute ribbon on top of the white…
then I cut off 4 short pieces off of the dark pink floral stem, a small section of the light pink cherry blossom, and a piece of what I had left from my leaves.
And my third summer faux floral arrangement is all set!
Well, that’s it for this one my friends.

Peach and white roses from my local dollar store and aqua green peonies from the Dollar Tree
And a few small white flowers
Ok here we go…
I dropped my clear marbles into the container…
Then I wrapped that pretty burlap and silver ribbon onto my container.
I secured the burlap with some scotch tape (as I do with most of my centerpieces that have ribbon) you can also use a glue gun here but I find using tape to be much faster than waiting for the glue gun to heat up.
(You can better see here how I use tape to keep my ribbon in place)
Then I dropped in one peach rose, one white rose, one aqua green peony and placed the smaller white flowers in the center of the roses and peony…
and that’s it!
Add in two more of these sweet little arrangements…
And I’m done!
Well, that’s it for this one my friends.
