When there are kids involved, there always needs to be a craft.

The orange Jack-Be-Littles came from our garden and then white ones I had picked up at the farmer’s market for super cheap.The cornucopia came from Michael’s on clearance a couple of years ago for something like 74 cents.

I keep forgetting it in storage and I haven’t had the chance to use it until now.This emergency-perfect-Fall-day decorating situation was just the chance I needed!.Aren’t my new dollar store crows the prettiest?

Around here, we get a ton of crows in the Fall and Winter (real ones).People here hate them.

They chop down trees to try to get rid of them.

They hold crow hunting contests to see who can kill the fatest one.Just let the leftover paint dry right in the tray and pour your next color on top the next time you paint.

It works just fine!.#5: Think Small.

There’s no rule that says that you have to tackle a big painting project, like painting a whole room, all at once.I love to work in small sections, for small, manageable periods of time.
