Tuesday Turn About #270 Falloween

Tuesday Turn About #270 Falloween: We are all about fun fall crafts that have a focus on Halloween!

TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #2708 Falloween

We had a pumpkin palooza at last week’s party.

Welcome to this week’s party!

Are you ready to get started on some fun Halloween decor, crafts, and DIYs?

Now is the time to get started, as there are only 6 short weeks left before the kids are out tricking and treating!

We’ve got some cutie little Caspers made out of glass, a black kitten pumpkin with two sides, a quick little craft for the kiddos that will drive them ‘batty’, and so much more!

But first, let’s take a look at some finds and tips!

Abode Adventures

This week, Sherwin Williams is having a 40% off sale on all their paint! So you can bet MY bottom dollar that I ran over and purchased two quarts of my kitchen cabinet paint! Woot!

But, a word of warning… the POS system didn’t give me the correct discount, and I caught it! So be sure to check your receipt if you get to the sale.

I’m getting ready to sand the last two kitchen cabinet doors, and then I’ll be ready to prime and paint. Keepin’ it real here… I’m just a little nervous. It’s been a while since I used my spray painter, so a practice run will be in order.

My Wee Finds

A couple of weeks ago, when I visited my son and his family, I neglected to tell you that, when I got back, the heat in my trailer had decided to ‘cook’ a yam in my pantry! Since it was on the top shelf that is vented, it dripped ALL OVER, and actually seeped into the wood on the bottom of my pantry. Thankfully, it doesn’t smell awful… just ‘sweet and savory’.

To protect the wood from another spill or spontaneous ‘bake’, I’ve purchased a thick vinyl liner. This waterproof liner is cut-to-size, and comes in different colors, too!

Some of the new recipes I’m making call for lemon zest, like the Zesty Rosemary Turkey Burgers (one of my faves), and the Salmon with Rosemary Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus. I thought the only thing I could use was the zester on my big hand grater. What a pain! Until, I used my son-in-law’s zester! Game changer! So I purchased the OXO Zester and Grater. It also works great for parmesan… another item I use frequently.

My leather flip-flops finally bit the dust, after 13 years! They were wonderful and, of course, no longer available to purchase again. So, after three different purchases/returns, I found these Vionic Women’s Casual Aliza sandals. They are pretty, give great support to my my plantar fasciitis-prone feet, and the toe separator is really comfortable, too.

Weekly Household Tip

This week’s tip comes from my ‘trailer neighbor’/former boss/very good friend, Dan.

Gotta a door, or any hinge, that sounds like the creak in a Halloween movie? Don’t use those products that smell up the whole house! Take some Murphy’s Oil Soap Wood Cleaner and give the squeak a squirt! Smells great, and works like a charm!

Weekly Blogging Tip

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to the Simple Pin Podcast, but it has always been SO helpful! I’m going to start listening again. Anyone want to join me?

Until then, let’s peruse some posts!

BTW… I’m using a new ‘READ MORE’ button to take you to the featured posts. What do you think? Do you like the button, or do you prefer just having the link inside the description?

Though not a requirement at all, I would be SO blessed if you would subscribe and/or follow me either here on the blog, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. Thanks!
