Hi all!
Well, it’s been a rather exciting week. I hired a roofer to install a brand new patio roof… and boy does it look pretty! I plan to share it next week if the weather cooperates for pictures. How’s that for a cheater DIY? Hire another to do it for ya… ha!
I’ve had a lot of issues attempting to get trades in for smaller jobs so when one became available, I jumped at the chance! This appears to be a good time of year so if you need a little help with getting work done… I suggest to try now.
I’m also taking an online course on how to create email series. Learning new stuff takes SO much brain power, however I have so many plans I’d love to implement. So some other fun options to learn will be coming soon!
I also had fun with an old window project…
Homemade Pumpkin Pie sign on an old window by Funky Junk Interiors
Making signs out of windows is fast and easy! And the good news is, if you mess up, you can scrape it off and try again!
This post shares how to specifically work and troubleshoot with stenciling on glass. And who doesn’t love a charming old window frame for a sign? Swoon…
That’s about it for me!
And here’s what you’ve been up to, via some creative highlights from last week’s party!

Cute pumpkin pie window sign! I was just thinking about how I want to decorate my rolling pin sign with a Christmas twist. We saw snowflakes yday, so think my brain is starting to head towards red and green-yikes! Thanks for hosting each week!
Looking forward to seeing your new covered patio. After all the work you’ve done this summer, you deserved to hire out a project! Thanks for the rusty pumpkin feature, Donna, and have a great weekend. xo
