THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 282 | Earth Tones

Happy Halloween friends! I hope you have your pumpkins carved, costumes done and your treat bowls ready. For me, once Halloween is over, it means go time. We enter complete madness and it’s a fast sprint to through the holiday season. Group hug – we can do this. Before things get really crazy, enjoy these projects featured from The Inspiration Board and a little review of what I’ve been sharing.

PRETTY PLEASE: Serums for Fifty Plus Beauty

At a certain age you can no longer take your skin for granted. You have to take extra steps to protect your skin and hair. Plus, it’s a constant struggle to figure out which products are best suited for these new phases in your life.

Happy Tuesday everyone. It’s the last week of October and now things are really going to get crazy. Holiday shopping, Thanksgiving, cards, trees, oh my. I think we need a group hug. Hopefully, you still have time for creating and sharing during this insanely busy season.

So without further ado, welcome to The Inspiration Board Creative Party. Whether you’re here to be inspired or to inspire, I’m so happy you stopped by and always grateful for your sweet comments. If you’re new to homework and The Inspiration Board, I host a link up party where people can share their amazing projects and inspiration. Every Monday, there’s a dedicated features post and I share and pin all the featured projects.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 281 | Cool Colors

Welcome back friends. As always, I’m so excited to share the features from The Inspiration Board. There were so many wonderful links. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared, commented or just visited. I so appreciate you popping in from time to time. In case you haven’t had a chance to see what I’ve been sharing here’s a little recap.

Etceteras: moss and pussy willow nest

Fall is in the air but I think a bird nest is a nice decorative touch no matter what the season. I typically display a bird’s nest in the spring when they’re naturally in season and home to a mama bird and her eggs.

FROM MY ARCHIVES  :  Easy Glitter Tape Place Cards

Too early? These place cards from my archives can be easily modified for any get together. But if you are thinking ahead to the holidays, these couldn't be easier to make. Are you working on holiday projects yet? I can't wait to see what you share this week on The Inspiration Board.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 280 | Think Pink

Welcome back friends! It’s a brand new week and I’m energized and ready to go! I had a moment or few hours of panic last week. For the first time in my six years of blogging, I forgot to schedule the link party. I posted it later than usual and was so thrilled and relieved that most of you circled back and shared your wonderful creativity. That made me feel good. That you all took the time to come back even though I know how busy you are. Thank you! Thank you.

UPCYCLING: Storage Jars with Mod Podge Knobs

One can never have enough storage jars in my opinion. I’ve been saving up jars and love how these bright and cheery jars turned out. They’re the perfect size for smaller pantry items.

THE INSPIRATION BOARD: Spotlight 279 | Fall Touches

This is the time of year when I torn between Halloween treats, fall decor and pre-holiday prep. There’s so much going on it’s hard to focus. Lists include handmade gifts for the holidays, Thanksgiving prep, holiday cards and so much more. It’s hard not to get a little twitchy and stressed. It’s good to take time to decompress and find inspiration. I so enjoyed going through all the links this week. It’s one of my favorite things to do. A cup of coffee and a quiet morning and inspiration galore. I hope you find a few quiet moments to enjoy the features this week.

GOOD TASTE: Baked Peaches with Vanilla Beans and Mint

Even though fresh peaches are a summer fruit there’s something about peach pies, peach cobbler and baked peaches that seem like fall.

SHOW & TELL: 4th Annual Handmade Holiday Link Up | Gift Guide

There's something special about a handmade gift. Whether you made it yourself or purchased it, handmade is unique and thoughtful. I love supporting handmade products and I used to have an Etsy Shop but gave it up to focus on this blog and my day job. 

Every year I host a Handmade Holiday Link Up. It's a chance for shop owners and artisans to share their wares. From the links, I create a Handmade Holiday Gift Guide to help boost your sales for the holidays.
