This year we’re keeping our “Thanksgiving table” simple with a fall picnic and fresh food.
DIY Frosted Pumpkins
Happy October! Today’s frosted pumpkin project is what happens when you take a mini pumpkin and try to turn it into a sugar cereal from the ’80s!
A DIY Valentine’s Day Tree
This year my daughter and I created a Valentine’s Day tree. We just weren’t ready for the holiday tree to come down! Get ready for brush strokes, splatter paint and plenty of whimsical style. Read on for all of the DIY details…
DIY Splatter Paint Pumpkins
This last-minute pumpkin project couldn’t be easier to create! Splatter paint will forever evoke a sense of ’80s style, and getting a speckled look is as easy as flicking a paintbrush or toothbrush.
An ’80s Goth Halloween Playlist
Halloween is almost here! Halloween is almost here! Today’s post is dedicated to the ’80s goth experience. There’s lots of music video magic to enjoy (plus a fun project and a snack idea), so get ready to escape.

DIY Pumpkins: Confetti and Colorful Forms
It’s officially one week until Halloween! This has always been one of my favorite times of the year, and as the end of October gets closer, I typically take a cool morning or afternoon to decorate pumpkins while listening to ’80s music and sampling chocolate.
’80s Splatter Paint Valentines
Happy February!! Valentine’s Day is around the corner. It’s a complicated holiday, isn’t it?! Because of my love for ’80s design, even my worst Valentine’s Days were filled with some joy.

It’s time to create some ’80s-style valentine cards to give to your nearest and dearest, and these splatter paint valentines couldn’t be easier to make…
