Creative Juices Decor

Hey Friends!! I don't know about you, but I ADORE pies. I think it has something to do with the flaky homemade crust.  When I was little I didn't ever want birthday cake (I just don't like the texture of cake) so I would ask for a birthday pie  :-) Since we have officially entered the holiday pie season I thought it would be fun to do a collection of the BEST pies on the internet! I will start off with one of mine (hee,hee) To be honest, this is one of my most "hit on" posts.  (I just made my pie sound like a cute teenager or something) French Apple Crumble Topping Pie This is super easy, and as much as I said I LOVE homemade flaky pie crusts, sometimes I don't have the time to make the gourmet crusts so this is my "go to" pie if I want something yummy but FAST!

Hey Friends! You guys know how much I adore rustic settings.......I found some absolutely gorgeous inspirations for this year's Thanksgiving table. I love the simplicity of simple using a dried leaf on top of each napkin.  It looks so festive tied with a brown velvet ribbon.  You could also use raffia or twine for a festive look too. I also love the idea of spray painting beautiful maple leaves GOLD and hand writing guest name on them!

Hey Friends! We have officially hit the HOLIDAY months! My kids are definitely ready for them.....I'm still trying to organize myself for the first week of school - ha! I had such great feedback from the post on Halloween snack ideas that I decided to do a fun Thanksgiving snack idea post! Sara from OurBestBites made these Oreo Reese's Candy Corn Whopper turkeys!

Hey Friends!     Where do I start?  :-) I found this recipe about a year ago and I haven't stopped making it since.  I even have the recipe memorized and it takes me MAYBE 7 minutes to whip this up.  I have it for breakfast with coffee ALL....THE....TIME! It is SOOOOOOO yummy and healthy! My husband loves them too (and he's not even a "health nut" like I am.) I've experimented with the original recipe MANY times and have finally come up with the PERFECT combination.  They are incredibly moist and dense. Did I mention these have NO sugar and NO flour in them? Ya, crazy they taste so stinkin good :-) 

Can you believe it's just about HALLOWEEN!? I found my daughter putting costumes on our new puppy the other day.  OH MY!  Did I tell you how sweet this dog is?  To say she is a tolerant and mellow puppy would be an understatement.  She was perfectly happy to be dressed up in wigs and hats by our 8 year old - ha! I have come across the cutest (and somewhat healthy!!) snacks for Halloween and Thanksgiving.  These are all easy to make so be sure and save them as reference! Banana Ghosts and Clementine Pumpkins!

Hey Friends! The leaves are starting to turn into an array of gold, orange and red and I've even had to turn on my fireplace a few mornings. I like it :-) You can simply and affordably turn your mantel into a Fall masterpiece by adding  natural elements like gourds or mini pumpkins to it.  You can also fill rustic vases with leaf covered twigs, vines or apple branches. rustyheart One of my favorite ways to bring the natural elements inside is with birch logs! You can see my post on how to decorate using birch logs for even more inspiration :-) When decorating, think about using WARM colorful elements like orange and yellows.  Pumpkins are gorgeous on a white mantel - you could even engrave your monogram on it! Or if you are not very good with a carving knife, you could just use a black sharpie and draw a fancy letter. You could also create some of your own natural art with leaves. You guys know how much I enjoy decorating for LE...
