All right, lets get back on track, shall we? I've been MIA for a while.... Busy with life and what not. But, here I am again! I've been working on a lot of stuff "behind the scenes"... Just trying to figure out my next moves, and exactly what it is that I want to do. The little has started preschool, and I wanted to go back to work, so that's what I've been working out for the last few months. I've also started a new website.... Super exciting! It's called Rusty Junk Couture, and it's just about ready to go live. The site is finished, and now I'm just busy putting pictures and posts together for it. But more on that later...<br />
<br />
For now, I'd like to show you all my fall mantle. I LOVE it you guys. I mean, like, love it. Is anyone else really into gold right now? Because I am. Like hardcore. So that's what I did for my mantle. You ready for it? Reaaaaddyyy?<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
There she is! All gold and beautiful. By the way, is anyone else using the amazing Rhonna Designs App for your iphone (droid version coming soon)? Because I do.... And it's pretty safe to say I'm addicted to it. Hardcore. I'm pretty sure I will be using the Rhonna app, among others, to edit all my photos from now on. It's so easy and super fun, and when I upload my photos to the computer, they're already edited! I don't have to go back and do it, which is a life saver.<br />
<br />

<br />
As you can see, I added a couple of crows for Halloween. It's just enough. And when November rolls around, down the crows will come. For this mantle, all I did was spray paint some frames that I already had from Goodwill, add my brown coffee filter wreath that I also used in last years fall mantle, and spray paint some pumpkins gold, and white with gold polka dots. Done! Super easy, and I didn't have to buy much, just the pumpkins and one can of spray paint. I also had the crows from last year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hSdn5lEt8wc/UmaPMvAjKJI/AAAAAAAAC4g/QOyeVvztucc/s1600/IMG_6157.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hSdn5lEt8wc/UmaPMvAjKJI/AAAAAAAAC4g/QOyeVvztucc/s320/IMG_6157.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
And here is my chalkboard! I found a large corkboard at Goodwill one day, and I bought it specifically to make this chalkboard. I've always really loved all the fun chalkboard art that you see all over Pinterest, but I never thought that I could do it because I am NOT artistically inclined AT ALL. I mean, not at all. But one day I sat down, determined to put something cute on the board. So I got some chalk, and had a picture of the chalk art I wanted to do next to me, and got to work.<br />
<br />
As you can see, I'm not amazing at it. But it turned out cute enough to keep up there. I was just so excited that it came out legible! And I think with more practice it will come easier. So now, I actually have a functional chalk board! And right below it, three more little pumpkins spray painted gold. I told you.... Obsessed.<br />
<br />
So there you have it! My fall decor, with some Halloween touches for this month. Hope you liked it!<br />

Yay me! This is also the first post I've done in a while... My poor computer has been broken. But I finagled my sisters computer away from her so I could squeeze this in.<br />
<br />
I really wanted my spring mantle to be fresh, and very... Springy. Yes, I said it. Springy. And how else to do that other than using white. Lots of it. I wanted the whole mantle to be white. And here is what I did with it.<br />

Mason jars that I spray painted white and then sanded them down to get an aged look... And of course had to add some jute twine...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A tin bucket that I got at Target for $1. I painted the burlap antique white, and then drew the 2 on there with a black paint pen. Then I put the whole thing on there with some spray adhesive. And Those candle sticks... Used to be green. Nough said. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And my word tree! Well, not really words. Just, letters. But I really like it. I have used these little branches in three of my mantles. My <a href="http://katiedidit1.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween-mantle.html" target="_blank">Halloween mantle</a>, my winter mantle, which I painted them white for, and now my spring mantle.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I took these cute little tags, and stamped them with my lowercase typewriter stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Aaaaand that's my spring mantle! You like? I love! pretty and simple. Yeaaaaahhh. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, did you do a spring mantle? What kind of color scheme did you go with?</div>

1 cup Mexican blend of cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 cup green onion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 tbl spns. taco seasoning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I saw <a href="http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/mexican_chicken.html" target="_blank">this recipe</a> and decided to adapt it for the crock pot. Because the crock pot rules. I love knowing that I have dinner slowly cooking all day, and then bam, it's ready when I'm ready. So this is pretty easy. One of those, dump everything in and let it go type recipes. I put the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot and then poured the taco seasoning over them. I bought one of those taco seasoning packets and used about half of it. Then pour in the enchilada sauce. Cook on high for about 4 hours. Shred the chicken with a fork and then add the cheese and green onions. Serve with tortillas and rice. Yum!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To make this recipe even healthier, try using plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, use low fat cheese, and substitute whole wheat or corn tortillas instead of the regular white flour tortillas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pretty easy huh?! And it's delicious. My hubby requests it all the time. Hope you like it!</div>

Hey guys! So, have you heard of a little competition called Creating With the Stars (used to be called Crafting With the Stars)? It's now being run by the fabulous girls over at <a href="http://www.eastcoastcreativeblog.com/2013/02/submissions-are-open-creating-with-stars.html" target="_blank">East Coast Creative</a>! I just entered one of my projects... My most visited project on the blog actually. My post about how to turn any tray into a picture frame. It's one of my favorite projects!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YY7CW3L0-68/URF0hd0u1lI/AAAAAAAAC1I/ppEoyoz7pZs/s1600/pinterest+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YY7CW3L0-68/URF0hd0u1lI/AAAAAAAAC1I/ppEoyoz7pZs/s320/pinterest+pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Remember that one?! Well, if you have a few seconds, head on over to <a href="http://www.eastcoastcreativeblog.com/2013/02/submissions-are-open-creating-with-stars.html" target="_blank">East Coast Creative</a>, and give my little thumbnail a click. The 12 blog stars and East Coast Creative choose the first 11, and then the link that is the most "popular" will win the 12th spot! I would really love to compete in this competition, so just in case my fabulous little project doesn't make it, maybe all the love that you guys give it will help! THANKS A MILLION!!!<br />

What You'll Need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 lb. of Ground
Beef</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 jar of Spaghetti
Sauce</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8 oz of Cream
Cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 cup of Sour Cream</div>
1/2 lb. of Cottage Cheese<br />
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)<br />
8 oz. of Noodles<br />
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
I found this recipe at <a href="http://ashleykaitlin.blogspot.com/2011/01/million-dollar-spaghetti.html" target="_blank">Being Grown Up</a>. Ok, so first things first, is you want to brown your ground beef. While that is cooking, mix up the sour cream, cottage cheese, and cream cheese. Once the ground beef is cooked, drain it and then pour you whole jar of spaghetti sauce over the meat. Let it simmer for just a minute. <br />
<br />

<br />
Now you will pour half of the cream mixture on the bottom of your casserole dish, then put half of your noodles. Pour the rest of the cream mixture over the noodles, and then layer the rest of the noodles over the cream mixture. Now pour your beef and sauce mixture over the top of the noodles. It's ready for the oven! Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Then, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top and bake for another 10-15 minutes. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Done! Woot! This is so good. And it makes a lot, so you will have leftovers, which I love. There could be lots of variations to this, so let me know if you try something different with it! I also paired this with some freaking amazing garlic parmesan pull apart bread. Stay tuned for that one!<br />

I finally have my post together for my Christmas Mantle! Woot! I've been running around really busy because I really wanted to get as much done as I could, as early as I could. I finished ALL of my shopping AND my wrapping on the 4th. Jealous? It's ok. Go ahead. <br />
<br />
Plus, I have my Christmas party to get ready for this coming Friday, so I wanted the house to be all ready to go. I really love to decorate for Christmas, and it's all over my house. But I really strive to make it pretty and inviting, not tacky. Hopefully I got the job done!<br />

I think its safe to say at this point, that I love doing banners across my mantel. Love. It. And I found the perfect chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby. Score.</div>

I guess one day I'll have to use something else to decorate my mantle with besides the window frame. But not yet!</div>

You may remember my <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7485012181869674506#editor/target=post;postID=3768139602287519022" target="_blank">Halloween mantle</a> in which I used these branches and vase filled with Spanish moss, for my crow tree. So for the Christmas mantle, I had this idea to do an ornament tree. I sprayed the branches white, and hung little ball ornaments on it. Then I filled the vase with some Epsom salt to give it a bit of a snow look.</div>

I absolutely love this glitter ball garland. Its one of my favorite pieces to decorate with.</div>

So, what do you think? How did you decorate your mantle? Traditional colors, bright colors? I would love to see!</div>

It's Printable Friday! YAY! Once a week, on Friday's, I contribute a downloadable printable post over at Project Inspire (also known as the Girl. Creative). So, here is the first of many Christmas/Winter printables that I will be doing. I love this sweet little saying from the song, and I have seen it turned into many different printalbes all over blogland. I hope you like my little version of it! (Yes, I know it's Mondy and am just now publishing this. Woopsie!)</div>

I know my hubster wishes I would make a bigger deal about breakfast in our house... But I just don't except occasionally. It's not that I don't like breakfast. I do. But I would usually prefer to just eat a light breakfast and then wait for lunch. But these little guys have saved the day. Easy and quick. About the only way I can do breakfast.<br />

Original recipe found here</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
What You'll Need:<br />
2 Shake and Pour Bisquick<br />
1/2 lb. sausage<br />
<br />
I saw this idea <a href="http://indulgy.com/post/wSTVd0YiQ1/any-favorite-pancake-mix-pour-over-fully-cooke" target="_blank">here</a>, but didn't see the recipe. I made this as quick and easy as possible. I used the Bisquick pancake mix that you just add water to and shake it up. Then I browned the sausage in a pan. Once it was done, I added a little sausage to each muffin cup, and then poured some pancake mix into each cup. Just enough to cover the sausage. I baked them at 350 for about 5 minutes or so. It just depends on your oven, but it wont take long for them to cook. Once they are golden brown around the edges, and have a golden center, they're done. <br />
<br />
Done! You can eat these plain or have a little syrup on the side for dipping. Enjoy!<br />

Hey Ya'll! I know I've been slacking on putting up new posts lately. But, I hope you enjoyed the <a href="http://katiedidit1.blogspot.com/2012/11/easy-taco-cups.html" target="_blank">taco cups recipe</a>, and the tutorial on <a href="http://katiedidit1.blogspot.com/2012/11/need-place-for-lost-sockstutorial.html" target="_blank">how to make your own lost socks sign</a>! <br />
<br />
Today I wanted to share my Thanksgiving mantle with you, and a few inexpensive and last minute crafts you can do to spruce up your mantle for the holiday.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-STKTwLMNcY4/UKFfSyVdAqI/AAAAAAAACbU/jYe5zZ_Xeyk/s1600/IMG_3980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-STKTwLMNcY4/UKFfSyVdAqI/AAAAAAAACbU/jYe5zZ_Xeyk/s600/IMG_3980.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Whatchya think?! I love LOVE that yellow fabric, and the little mason jars turned out so cute. I filled the brown wire urn with some vase filler and some mini corn that I found at my grocery store. You may remember it from my fall mantle. I also kept the antique cheese graters and little gourds up there as well. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oHxHTsIX3xk/UKFfZDnJUFI/AAAAAAAACbc/w9vPz9LzSBU/s1600/IMG_3981.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oHxHTsIX3xk/UKFfZDnJUFI/AAAAAAAACbc/w9vPz9LzSBU/s600/IMG_3981.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
Tehe. I really don't know what it is about that yellow fabric that I like so much, but it is just ca-ute! I had a bunch of that fabric left over from my <a href="http://katiedidit1.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-fall-wreath-framed.html" target="_blank">Fall Wreath</a> where I made some rosettes out of it. And don't we all love antique window frames? Swoon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tdRnbcWH0E4/UKFfcW2EMfI/AAAAAAAACbk/szBa2eKQW0g/s1600/IMG_3982.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tdRnbcWH0E4/UKFfcW2EMfI/AAAAAAAACbk/szBa2eKQW0g/s600/IMG_3982.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
<br />
This little banner was super simple to make. I just cut out some triangles, printed out GIVE in the font that I wanted, and then was able to put the paper under the fabric and trace over the letter with a paint pen.Worked like a charm. Then I cut some twine and hot glued the triangles to the twine. The whole thing took me about 15 minutes. Perfect decoration to throw up there for last minute decor. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E-K59wOgvgE/UKFfgXn0xOI/AAAAAAAACbs/3q4NEOP4aZQ/s1600/IMG_3983.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E-K59wOgvgE/UKFfgXn0xOI/AAAAAAAACbs/3q4NEOP4aZQ/s600/IMG_3983.jpg" width="490" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When I saw <a href="http://tatertotsandjello.com/2011/11/make-a-thankful-jar-centerpiece-thanksgiving-jars.html" target="_blank">these bottles</a> at Tater Tots and Jello, I thought they were awesome, so I wanted to make my own version. Enter spray painted mason jars. I already had a bunch of mason jars handy, as well as some Krylons Ivory spray paint, and the stickers I needed. You know a craft is meant to be when you happen to have ALL the supplies on hand to make it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pLvdHsnZjrk/UKFfj-5GuaI/AAAAAAAACb0/aC5fBoCZY8s/s1600/IMG_3984.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pLvdHsnZjrk/UKFfj-5GuaI/AAAAAAAACb0/aC5fBoCZY8s/s600/IMG_3984.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
<br />
So I just put the stickers on the jars, gave them a very light coat of spray paint since I wanted them to look a little worn and faded, and then peeled the stickers off when they were dry! Easy peasy! And since I wanted them to look even more worn, I got out a very fine grit sand paper and gave them a little light rub all over. Done!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-STKTwLMNcY4/UKFfSyVdAqI/AAAAAAAACbU/jYe5zZ_Xeyk/s1600/IMG_3980.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-STKTwLMNcY4/UKFfSyVdAqI/AAAAAAAACbU/jYe5zZ_Xeyk/s600/IMG_3980.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
And that's my Thanksgiving Mantle. See what I mean? Done and done. The banner and jars cost me nothing since I had all the supplies on hand, and everything else on the mantle was already there from my previous fall mantle. So this mantle cost me a whopping 0 dollars to make! <br />
<br />
So look around your house, dig through your craft stash, and see what you can put together. You will probably surprise yourself, and your guests will have something pretty to look at while they're chowing down on turkey. Yay!<br />
<br />
<strong>What are YOUR Thanksgiving plans? Have you decorated for it, or do you put up Christmas decorations instead?</strong><br />

Enjoy this fun tutorial!<br />
<br />
So, who of you out there like to do laundry? If you said 'I', then I'm not sure we can be friends... Just kidding. But seriously, I don't really enjoy doing laundry. It's not my most hated of the chores, but it's not at the top of my list. And it seriously disturbs me when I know that I put nothing but <em>pairs </em>of socks into the washer/dryer, yet the dryer does not return all of the <em>pairs </em>back to me. What does it do with them? I'm not totally crazy, so I know that it's not just hoarding these socks away somewhere... So the only logical conclusion that I could come to, was this: Dryer lint <em>must </em>be the ashes of the socks that the dryer has <em>eaten. </em>That's my story and I'm sticking to it. {Anyways}<br />
<br />

<br />
I have recently moved into a house, and the laundry room decorations are a work in progress since I lived in an apartment before and didn't have a laundry room. And of course, some of the decor in the laundry room also must be functional. Well, when I came across this Lost Socks Sign from <a href="http://www.somewhatsimple.com/lost-socks-board/" target="_blank">Somewhat Simple</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/Katiedidit1/home-is-where-my-stuff-is/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> (where else?), I was in loooove. I h-a-d to have one. The only problem was, my cricut machine wasn't working so I didn't have any way to print and cut Vinyl lettering. What's a girl to do? Well, I'll tell you. HAND STENCIL AND PAINT. Does that frighten you? Well, it shouldn't. I came across <a href="http://aimee-weaver.blogspot.com/2011/06/sign-tutorial-how-to-make-wood-sign.html" target="_blank">this</a> tutorial from <a href="http://aimee-weaver.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Pink Life</a>, and I was like, Haaaaallelujah! Jackpot! Now don't get me wrong, it's not easy, and is more difficult with the bigger variety/difficulty of fonts you choose, and also with the amount of lettering you have to do, but for a small project like this, it's a gem. <br />
<br />
Here is what you will need:<br />
Wood plaque of some sort<br />
Ribbon<br />
Staple Gun and Staples<br />
e6000 adhesive<br />
Large clothes pins<br />
Acryllic paint colors of choice<br />
Carbon paper<br />
Paint pen<br />
Regular pen<br />
Artistic eraser<br />
Sand paper<br />
<br />
Ok, first take your sand paper and go over your whole sign. This may not be necessary depending on your plaque. I got this unfinished wood plaque at Hobby Lobby a while ago. Then you can give it a nice coat of paint, whatever color you choose. I used antique white. Once it dries you will most likely need to give it another coat. I did three coats on mine to get really even coverage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ufSSr_HjM8I/T_iYYXcVxBI/AAAAAAAABFU/JF2ZZI6lXEI/s1600/IMG_2493.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ufSSr_HjM8I/T_iYYXcVxBI/AAAAAAAABFU/JF2ZZI6lXEI/s600/IMG_2493.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And it helps if you have a really cute little helper giving you a hand :). While that is drying, go print off the font that you want to use for the words. What you will need to do, is open a word document. Then go to the fonts tab, or the drop down arrow (it's different depending on what version you have), and click text effects. Then click on text fill, and choose no fill, and then click on text outline, and choose solid line. It will be best to print in landscape. The fonts I used are <a href="http://www.azfonts.net/abc/c/4.html" target="_blank">Ck Cursive Regular</a> and <a href="http://www.kevinandamanda.com/whatsnew/new-fonts/16-free-handwriting-fonts.html" target="_blank">Pea Noodles Girlfriends</a>. Two of my fave fonts!<br />
<br />
Now you need to trace the font onto the plaque. First cut your paper so the two words can be side by side and then tape them together, and then tape one end down onto the plaque so that it stays straight and won't move. Now slip the carbon paper under your printer paper, and begin tracing over it with the regular pen. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-srIjoWjgm5o/T_ieG3a18nI/AAAAAAAABFg/WekRWd5Rink/s1600/IMG_2500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-srIjoWjgm5o/T_ieG3a18nI/AAAAAAAABFg/WekRWd5Rink/s320/IMG_2500.jpg" width="299" /></a></div>
<br />
Try not to touch the paper where you don't need to because the carbon will rub off onto the plaque.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sw6oPsZQM-U/T_ig5YZ76PI/AAAAAAAABFs/Ny3cJt9gA_w/s1600/IMG_2501.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sw6oPsZQM-U/T_ig5YZ76PI/AAAAAAAABFs/Ny3cJt9gA_w/s600/IMG_2501.jpg" width="420" /></a></div>
<br />
Once you get it traced, it should look like this. And you see that little eraser? You can use that to erase any marks where the carbon rubbed off onto the sign. I got it at Hobby Lobby, in the painting section. It erases charcoal, graphite, and more. Now you're ready to fill in your letters. I used a paint pen for this, since the font was really skinny, and I was using black. Paint pens are easier to maneuver, but generally come in only primary colors. Although I have also seen some neon ones. You can also use a paint brush and paint if you have had some practice doing this sort of thing before. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8H1nJ30JYfE/T_iiXoPWoaI/AAAAAAAABF0/9E_LHC_7vQ4/s1600/IMG_2502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8H1nJ30JYfE/T_iiXoPWoaI/AAAAAAAABF0/9E_LHC_7vQ4/s600/IMG_2502.jpg" width="420" /></a></div>
<br />
That's the pen that I used, and it worked great. Just follow the directions to get the paint flowing, and be careful to not press too hard, or a lot of paint will come out all at once. I already had some black clothes pins lying around, so I didn't have to paint mine. But I did add the polka dots. I just squeezed a little antique white paint onto a plate, and used the end of a sharpie marker to make my little dots. The end of a pencil eraser would work great too, but I couldn't find one. The fun thing about this part, is that the options are litterally endless. You could paint all sorts of different patterns, or glue cute scrap book paper on there! After the polka dots are dry, glue the clothes pins onto the board where you want them, using the e6000 adhesive. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UD6HoYRf7S8/T_ij4FKEA0I/AAAAAAAABF8/-tBbrH3GRlQ/s1600/IMG_2509.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UD6HoYRf7S8/T_ij4FKEA0I/AAAAAAAABF8/-tBbrH3GRlQ/s600/IMG_2509.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Now, is everything dry? Good. Now you can sand until your little heart's content. I usually like a pretty heavily distressed look, so that's what I did. I sanded on the clothes pins, on the edges of the sign, and over the lettering. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2ZLoBrhmgs/T_imAn8N04I/AAAAAAAABGE/O1oChSBxlw4/s1600/IMG_2507.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2ZLoBrhmgs/T_imAn8N04I/AAAAAAAABGE/O1oChSBxlw4/s600/IMG_2507.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As you can see, it will "smear" the paint a tad. That's why you need to make sure that the paint is good and dry before you take the sand paper to it. Now the last thing for you to do, is to staple on your ribbon so it can hang on the wall! <br />

<br />
I looooove it! And it's the first thing that I've hung up in the Laundry Room. It already makes me feel better about having to do laundry.<br />

<br />
Sooo, what do ya think? Are you scurying around to gather the things you need to make this?<br />
<br />
Sorry this post is so long. I didn't quit realize it would take so much to explain this tutorial. But I like to be thorough... So there you go! If you make one, send me pics or leave them in the comments below so I can see what you did!<br />
<br />
Oooor, if you don't feel like going through all of this trouble to make your own, you can always visit my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/103916358/lost-socks-laundry-room-sign" target="_blank">Etsy shop and order one</a>! It would make a super cute Christmas gift... Just sayin.<br />

And ever since I made it, my hubster has requested this every week. I love when I can find a hearty recipe that is easy and filling. Look at these bad boys:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x3WeYmjq5qQ/UJCUIBzdcpI/AAAAAAAACPA/9L6knRBcOGg/s1600/IMG_3762.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x3WeYmjq5qQ/UJCUIBzdcpI/AAAAAAAACPA/9L6knRBcOGg/s600/IMG_3762.jpg" width="350" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't these look like they were difficult to make? Well, they weren't! And it's really the best of both worlds when something looks like you slaved over it when really, it took like, no effort. Yeaaaah. I adapted this recipe from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ginnerobot/3431227193" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What You'll Need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6 tortillas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 lb ground beef</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup salsa</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First you'll want to grease up a muffin tin. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is preheating, cook the ground beef and taco seasoning in a pan, and then drain the grease. In a bowl, mix the salsa and shredded cheese with the beef mixture. Stir until well blended. Now, I have to be honest. I didn't really measure this out when I was making it. I just added cheese and salsa until it looked good. So if your mixture looks a little dry, add a little more salsa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mgi7uXUP4RY/UJSUR2hVMII/AAAAAAAACUM/fGNb0piFSXw/s1600/IMG_3752.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Mgi7uXUP4RY/UJSUR2hVMII/AAAAAAAACUM/fGNb0piFSXw/s600/IMG_3752.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now you're going to cut up your tortillas for the muffin tin. I was able to get two squares out of one tortilla. Just push the square into the muffin cup, then fill the cup with the beef mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. However, you'll need to keep an eye on these to make sure that the tortilla cups don't burn. Every oven is different, and since the beef has already been cooked, you can adjust the time as necessary.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's it! When they're done, you can add any garnish you like. We added cheese and sour cream to ours. Mmmmm. Hope you enjoy these!</div>

So I made some. It takes very few supplies, and there's not much to it, so even beginner crafters would find this project easy! I really love to decorate for Halloween, but I mostly enjoy using black and white decor rather than having too much orange, green, or purple in there. So these fit in perfectly with my scheme!<br />

How cute are these?! I just love the old haunted feeling that the cursive background and crow brings. I don't have any pictures of how I put these together, since I made them B.B. {Before Blogging}, but I will talk you through it, and I promise it will be just fine.</div>

I gathered four frames from the dollar store, two larger, and two smaller. I found some crow silhouettes, scrap book paper, and the RIP at Hobby Lobby. I wrote out Eek on some black construction paper and then cut it out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next you will cut your scrap book paper to fit inside your frames. I used double sided tape to stick the crow silhouettes and the Eeek on the paper. The RIP already had little stickies on the back. And that's it for the inside of the frames!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last thing, is to attach the ribbon to both of the frames. I bought some thick black ribbon, and cut each strip the same length, so that the frames would hang the same. Then I took my hot glue gun and glued each end of ribbon to the bottom of the larger frame, and the top of the smaller frame. </div>

I just really love this time of year. The weather is changing and it is the official start of the holiday season. And since I am in a house this year, I was super excited to finally get to do some outdoor and Mantle decorations. Except this house doesn't have a fireplace, so I had to build my own mantle. Which is totally OK with me! Here is what I did with the first Halloween Mantle I have ever decorated:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gzly35Vqddg/UHIL4cCs1_I/AAAAAAAAB9A/3iJjZdD-dHs/s1600/IMG_3656.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gzly35Vqddg/UHIL4cCs1_I/AAAAAAAAB9A/3iJjZdD-dHs/s600/IMG_3656.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think?! I really had so much fun decorating this mantle. I took all my fall decorations down, except the antique window frame. I added the two scrap book paper pages in each corner of the window, and then used some black cheese cloth that I got at the Dollar Tree, to drape behind it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PVSDJDmK7-8/UHIMBMjFLEI/AAAAAAAAB9I/UuVBptpJpGU/s1600/IMG_3659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PVSDJDmK7-8/UHIMBMjFLEI/AAAAAAAAB9I/UuVBptpJpGU/s400/IMG_3659.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I already had this chandelier candelabra, and I decided to add it to give the mantle a haunted mansion type feel. The crows are all also from the Dollar Tree, except the bigger one with it's wings spread. That one was a tad more expensive, and it came from Michaels.</div>
<br />

I bought these white pumpkins in a bag of mixed pumpkins from Tom Thumb (also Randalls) and just wrote on them with black sharpie. You can probably tell that I did not use a stencil or anything since my letters aren't all uniform. Meh. When I make things for myself for the house, I'm a little more lax about it being perfect. It's only when I'm making the things that I sell that I make sure every little thing is in the perfect place. But just for myself... I'm a little lazy. </div>

Can you tell that I love that chandelier just a little?</div>

I made this little frame last year, and it is so simple. I bought the frame at the Dollar Tree and sprayed it white. Then I cut a small piece of burlap, and used a rubber stamp that I found at Hobby Lobby. I dipped it in paint, and then stamped it on the burlap. Done and Done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I really love the little pop of orange that the antique book brings. At first I just wanted to stick with black and white and neutrals, but I tried it out to see how I would like it, and it just worked. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the "Crows Tree", I used a vase I had from the Dollar Tree (no, I am not advertising for them, I just shop there A LOT), and filled it with some Spanish moss. Then I added those three branches that I gathered from around our neighborhood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that's it! What do you think of it? Is this your first year decorating a Halloween Mantle, or have you done several? </div>

I loved getting to see all the different styles that everyone decorates or celebrates the holiday in. And I was so fortunate to get to have such talented bloggers participating in this series. Thanks again ladies!<br />
<br />
So to recap, I made this fun little graphic, and have put a list together of all the projects and recipes that were featured through out the series. I hope you enjoy looking back over these for some awesome inspiration!<br />

I shared this fun and easy Halloween treat, but I wanted to share it with all of you guys too! My friend and I started up a craft club (anyone in the Fort Worth, Texas area?!), and I am hosting our first meeting on October 6th. So I wanted to have some fun treats for the girls while we are crafting up a storm together! I found this idea on Martha Stewart.com. Of course. Good ol' Martha. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9q0aC0KvQ44/UGT69o9hojI/AAAAAAAAB3o/B6OKoq2ZPGc/s1600/IMG_3628.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9q0aC0KvQ44/UGT69o9hojI/AAAAAAAAB3o/B6OKoq2ZPGc/s600/IMG_3628.jpg" width="450" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Here is what you'll need to make these creepy crawly fossil cookies:<br />
Ready to mix cookie dough (or pretty much any cookie dough of your choice)<br />
Food safe plastic creepy crawly bugs ( I got some at the Dollar Tree)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NCFwjUh2bKg/UGT8WXtDvnI/AAAAAAAAB3w/0f4HcdbGYkQ/s1600/IMG_3610.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NCFwjUh2bKg/UGT8WXtDvnI/AAAAAAAAB3w/0f4HcdbGYkQ/s600/IMG_3610.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So I used this ready to mix peanut butter cookie dough. It's nice when you just want to get something in the oven quick, or you don't have the time or all the ingredients on hand to make them from scratch. I mixed these up real quick, and then put a table spoon of dough in my hand and flattened it out with the palm of my hand. Lay these "stone shaped" cookies on a greased piece of foil, or parchment paper. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f-0jukJRNeQ/UGT8wKOn4qI/AAAAAAAAB34/xvEgzVOREeI/s1600/IMG_3611.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f-0jukJRNeQ/UGT8wKOn4qI/AAAAAAAAB34/xvEgzVOREeI/s600/IMG_3611.jpg" width="450" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Next, take your creepy crawly and coat it in flour. Then lay it face down in the cookie dough "stones" you have on the cookie sheet. Press it gently into the dough to make a good impression. Repeat this for the rest of your cookies. Once you have done this to all of them, remove the creepy crawly from the dough, and place the cookie sheet in the freezer. Leave them in the freezer to firm up for about 15-20 minutes. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-73XA0z0SlD8/UGT9HtnxOQI/AAAAAAAAB4A/B6oY_uCI2LA/s1600/IMG_3613.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-73XA0z0SlD8/UGT9HtnxOQI/AAAAAAAAB4A/B6oY_uCI2LA/s600/IMG_3613.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Bake the cookies according to package (or your recipe) directions. And voila! Fossil cookies!<br />
<br />

<br />
What do you think? Are these fun or what?! I really love the way they turned out, and I can't wait to make them again for the Craft Club Meeting! I think everyone will just eat them up... Baha!<br />
<br />
Well, I hope you guys liked this fun and easy little treat. They would be great for any Halloween party, favor, or for a fun after school snack for your kids!<br />
<br />
I would love to see these if you make them, so shoot me an email and send me pics of how they turned out!<br />

Hello everyone! How goes the fall and Halloween decorating? Are you in the thick of it, or just getting started? I love decorating for fall and Halloween, and this year I was trying to come up with something different that I haven't seen before... Enter my Cheese Grater Pumpkins. I posted those a week ago or so, and I've had lots of questions on how I did them. So here is the tutorial! Yay!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BEb-nTT95W4/UHMqp_LgqaI/AAAAAAAAB-k/_o8mLMyTC0I/s1600/IMG_3408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BEb-nTT95W4/UHMqp_LgqaI/AAAAAAAAB-k/_o8mLMyTC0I/s600/IMG_3408.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
What You'll Need For These:<br />
Three Metal Cheese Graters<br />
Dremel Tool (With metal cutting bit)<br />
Orange Spray Paint<br />
Brown Spray Paint<br />
Sand Paper<br />
Green Fabric of Choice<br />
E6000 Glue<br />
Blue Painters Tape<br />
Small Glass Votive Candles<br />
<br />
Ok, so the first thing you need to do is to get yourself some cheese graters. I picked mine up at the Dollar Tree. And I know Wal-Mart also carries the metal cheese graters. If you want to have your cheese graters at varying heights, you'll need to cut them. I had my hubzy use his dremel to cut the bottom off one of the cheese graters. Then I filed it down a tad so that it wasn't so sharp. <br />
<br />
Now, you can glue the cut off bottom to one of the other cheese graters, to give it a little height. It should fit perfectly right inside the cheese grater, and wont need much glue. Just a few dabs in the corners should do it. {I don't have a picture of this for some reason}<br />
<br />
Once the glue is dry, you're ready to start working on them. I took the brown spray paint and gave all the cheese graters a coat. Once that was dry, I taped off the handles with painters tape, and then sprayed all the cheese graters with Krylons Pumpkin Orange. When the orange spray paint is dry, you can start to sand them up a little! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diyJFwFBVic/UGz_GL3KbdI/AAAAAAAAB6A/mSyoOETpCFc/s1600/IMG_3400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-diyJFwFBVic/UGz_GL3KbdI/AAAAAAAAB6A/mSyoOETpCFc/s600/IMG_3400.jpg" width="450" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Peel off the painters tape from the handles carefully, and then take your sand paper square and start to go over all the edges and grooves. This part is totally up to you - if you want a heavily distressed look or not. When you are done sanding, all that is left is to cut three strips of fabric to tie on the handles for your "leaves". Then, DONE!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Find a good spot for them, then place the glass votives inside, and enjoy the pretty glow! I just love mine, and have gotten several compliments on how different they are.<br />

I think I answered all the questions, but if you have any more don't hesitate to email me! And I would love to see pictures of yours if you try them.<br />

I'm Kelsey and I'm so excited that Katie asked me to guest post as part of her Halloween series. I blog at <a href="http://www.embracingmessy.blogspot.com/">Embracing Messy</a> and I love sharing my projects with my readers. Fall is my favorite time of year so that makes this post even more fun! Today, I'm going to share with you how I made my Cheesecloth Ghosts.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s967.photobucket.com/albums/ae152/kbevins4/Blog/?action=view&current=D0992E1A-B0B2-4454-9BEF-DC1B4C729FE7-38256-00001AAB5211635C-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="D0992E1A-B0B2-4454-9BEF-DC1B4C729FE7-38256-00001AAB5211635C" border="0" height="300" src="http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae152/kbevins4/Blog/D0992E1A-B0B2-4454-9BEF-DC1B4C729FE7-38256-00001AAB5211635C-1.jpg" width="400" /></a>
<br />
</div>
Supplies:<br />
Cheesecloth<br />
Liquid Starch, Fabric Stiffener, or any other concoction you know of that will stiffen the cheesecloth.<br />
A small bowl<br />
Something to drape your cloth over (I used small craft paint bottles, but really it depends on how large you'd like your ghosts to be)<br />
Black acrylic paint<br />
<br />
Step 1: Cut out a piece of cheesecloth large enough to drape over the object you're using as your "form." My pieces weren't very big because I was going for some smaller ghosts.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Dip cloth in stiffener/starch (whichever you're using) and squeeze out any excess liquid. Then drape over form. Here, adjust the cheesecloth so that it's draping how you'd like it to be when it's stiff. (Sorry there aren't any pictures of this step! My hands were covered in fabric stiffener, so it was a bit difficult to snap a picture!)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s967.photobucket.com/albums/ae152/kbevins4/Blog/?action=view&current=18A9F3B0-519D-435A-9650-BC468E132532-38256-00001AAB77404136-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="18A9F3B0-519D-435A-9650-BC468E132532-38256-00001AAB77404136" border="0" height="640" src="http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae152/kbevins4/Blog/18A9F3B0-519D-435A-9650-BC468E132532-38256-00001AAB77404136-1.jpg" width="480" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After I draped it over the paint bottle, I pinched the top a bit so my little ghost wouldn't have a flat top. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Step 3: Allow to dry for several hours. Once dry, remove from form. You should be able to mold it a bit if it's not perfect. Paint on a face, and you're finished! Easy!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My ghosts were little, but you can make them any size! Some suggestions for larger ghosts:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. You could use a two-liter bottle OR milk jug as your form. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Mine are made to sit on a flat surface. You could put some fishing line in them and hang them. After all, ghosts do float. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. When storing these guys, it helps to pack them with some plastic bags stuffed up inside of them so that they don't get crushed too easily. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks SO much for having me, Katie! And thank you all for taking the time to read. I hope you'll stop by <a href="http://www.embracingmessy.blogspot.com/">Embracing Messy</a> and say hello! </div>
<br />
Aren't those just SO cute?! I will definitely be making myself some of these. So easy and fun! Make sure to stop over and say hello to Kelsey some time!<br />

I'm the voice behind <a href="http://thebeansproutnotes.blogspot.com/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">The Bean Sprout Notes</a>, a little blog about crafting on a budget. Today I'm going to share a simple idea for last minute Halloween decorating on the cheap. Living with a young toddler, my Halloween style is more orange and cute, rather than black and gory, so this project is perfect for my current season of life.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, let me introduce The Great Pumpkin Door!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's big, simple, the kids love it, and it only sets you back 100 pennies. This is <i>the</i> project if you want to make October a special time for the kids without breaking the budget. Plus, come November, you can toss it in the trash without feeling the slightest bit guilty (except that you should be recycling ;) Budget friendly AND no bulky lawn displays to store until next year. That's a win-win in my book.<br />
<br />
Seriously, this is the easiest seasonal decoration ever. It hardly even warrants a tutorial. But because I already took all the photos....<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1:</b> Gather supplies. You will need a large orange jack-o-lantern leaf bag (mine was $0.97 at Walmart) a pair of scissors, and some painter's tape.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 2:</b> From the inside, begin taping the pumpkin bag to the frame of glass door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xlfp0jyVdUM/UFp8rarvYpI/AAAAAAAAB44/cIPZRqt4HB8/s1600/IMG_3168.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xlfp0jyVdUM/UFp8rarvYpI/AAAAAAAAB44/cIPZRqt4HB8/s320/IMG_3168.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 3: </b> Cut the face down to size, saving the back half of the bag. Depending on the size of your lawn bag, you will likely need an additional orange panel, which you will cut from the back side of the bag, to cover the bottom half of the door.<br />
