I’ve always said that I’m amazed at what a coat of fresh paint can do for a room. It just totally freshens up the space! That’s exactly what my laundry room needed recently…some freshening up. But first, let me give you a bit of history on my laundry room. Our house is close to 100 […]
boo-tiful package
Who remembers the Halloween care package that I sent to my daughter at college last year? Well, I was afraid SHE would remember so I wanted to do something a bit different this year… I started by filling the box with some fun fall snacks for her and her roommate. With one being a vegan […]

I can’t believe we are already in the second half of October! Where is the time going? I saw a countdown board to Christmas recently, and it made me catch my breath. What is it about this time of year…time really needs to slow down. With only a few weeks left until Halloween, I thought […]
birthday cart styling
If you’re a regular reader of Polka Dots & Picket Fences, you know I love styling bar carts for parties and fun get-togethers with friends.

With the theme of the day being succulent plants, I thought it might be fun to somehow incorporate succulents into the boxed […]

crafternoon…terrariums
I recently hosted another Crafternoon at my home! A friend, who attended my last one, suggested that I plan a Mother Daughter event for the summer. I thought that would be a fun idea, and I soon began thinking of a craft project that would be appropriate for both moms and their daughters… With the […]
