Still Working on Decorating

Still have been working a lot this week & the boys are out for fall break tomorrow for 2 1/2 weeks! But I did manage to make our Trick or Treat Sign... & put up my pumpkins above our kitchen cabinets (sorry for the poor photo quality)

added pom poms to my kitchen towels


and finished another gift box for Halloween treats!

Next week, my goal is to finish the mantle, bookshelves, my front entry, outdoor decorations, and kitchen nook! Whew!! Enjoy your weekend!

Art Can Be A Religious Experience

I love the rustic architecture and details of old Spanish churches. Phoenix artist, Kathleen Escobedo, has recently completed a series that I think is truly inspiring. I love her use of texture & depth of color in these paintings.





Which is your favorite?
