Image
***UPDATED 10/2/24*** Transform your fall gatherings into a magical experience with a DIY Jack-O-Lantern floral centerpiece that combines the charm of autumn with the whimsy of Halloween! I was looking for something different to make for the Halloween season and found this DIY on Pinterest. It's an easy craft and you can find all the items easily at your local Walmart, Dollar Tree, and craft store. Let's get started! Supplies : 3 pumpkin pails  - Walmart Off white spray paint , preferably for plastic - Walmart Metallic acrylic paint  - Walmart small paint brush  - Dollar Tree hot glue gun   - Walmart hot glue sticks -  Dollar Tree Jute cord  - Dollar Tree some sort of weight: sand, rocks, etc. assorted fall flowers  - Dollar Tree Instructions : The first thing I did was spray-paint the pails.

Pumpkin Spice Snack Review

Image
***UPDATED9/2/23*** On our most recent YouTube Live, we each brought to the table a Pumpkin Spice snack. We love our snacks, so why not try new and different snack foods to review and share our thoughts with you. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 We started out with a cup of coffee and used  Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice Creamer . We decided that depending on how strong your coffee is, how much flavor comes through. I thought it was not creamy enough and we all thought we could taste the Pumpkin Spice flavor.  You can find it at Walmart for $4.26 1 pint. Watch our review here . (place of purchase and price has been updated) 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 The next item we tried was  Good & Gather Date and Nut Bars . The date flavor comes out right away and the spices were there right along with them. They were soft and chewy. We all agreed they were a  delicious fall treat.  You can find them at Target  for $4.29 - 5 bars.   NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Watch our YouTube Review  h

Food and Drink Review of Pringles and French Soda

Image
Recently, on our last YouTube LIVE show , we taste tested Pringles potato chips and French Soda. The Sparkling French Soda comes in a variety of flavors and Kelly chose the Pear Cardamom.  From the Alsace region in France, their soda is made using a traditional artisan recipe starting with natural spring water. Sweet and tart lemon flavor with a hint of pear and aromatic cardamom characterizes this light, crisp drink that's gently carbonated and low in sugar. Price $3.99. REVIEW:   The soda isn't overly sparkly and it has a light flavor. We thought it to be a refreshing drink. Kelly particularly likes the bottle because it's reusable. Fill it with whatever your heart desires. You can find our YouTube review here . World Market Our next product is the Pringles Potato Chips. The Dill Pickle Pringles were a hit with us all. These were bought at Walmart for $1.53.  Pringles REVIEW : Right off the bat they smelled like dill pickles and tasted dilly with that sour note that dil

DIY Over the Door Sign

Image
This DIY over the door sign is simple and a quick way to decorate over any door in your house. I was looking for some scripture signs to put over two open doorways in our home and after researching, I thought why not make them. I have a Cricut Explore Air & vinyl, all I needed was the wood and paint. I found the unfinished wood at Home Depot.  I bought two 1 in. x 4 in. x 39” Spruce/Pine/Fir Common Board Bed Slats @ $2.96 a piece.  The paint I bought at Walmart, Waverly Inspirations Ultra Matte White for $6.54.  The vinyl I used was Cricut removable vinyl . It actually wasn’t easy to remove when I made a mistake, that was disappointing.  The 2” font was Courgette and I cut black vinyl. I had to make it fit on the 12” x 12” vinyl sheet. After cutting it out with my Cricut Explore Air, I cut sections of the words and used transfer paper to adhere to the painted wood.  As far as the removeable vinyl goes, it didn’t want to remove when I made a mistake. OOPS! Oh well, we will see how
