Halloween is coming...

A very creative friend of mine has shared how she enjoys jazzing up her house for the spooky holiday that is approaching very quickly. PLUS, she's very thrifty...I love that. :) She loves creating environments that are fun and memorable for her family...and you can do it, too! Even if you're not creative---you just have to go that little extra step---it can be done in small and easy ways.

Check out what Rachel has done here and feel free to share what little things you enjoy doing to bring that special-ness to your house that makes holidays fun!

be inspired!

Hello faithful followers! I am happy to announce an exciting change in this little corner of the blog world...

drum roll please....

I have discovered that people that like to come create something fabulous at color me happy are two kinds of people---some think of themselves as the creative-sort and see inspiration everywhere. Others claim not to be the creative type but would love to be!

That is where we come in! I find so many fun DIY, crafty, lovely ideas and I want to share.

I have discovered a great blog recently and I wanted to share one of the super-cute projects. She made a cool pendant light out of a flower pot from Lowes...genius.



Click here and take a peak--she'll walk you through the whole project. Let me know what you think...I'll be searching for more inspiring things for you...stay tuned!
