Free Printable Christmas List Template

It’s simple, but functional with a touch of pretty.

There are sections for writing each gift recipient’s name, their interests to spark ideas, a place to write those ideas, gift budget and the gift purchased.

There’s room for five folks on the printable, so just print as many copies as you’ll need to write down everyone on your gift list. I like to give myself plenty of room to brainstorm for gift giving, thus why only five people to a page. 🙂

How to Get the Christmas Gift List Printable

This printable Christmas shopping list template is for personal use only. Print as many copies as you wish, but you may not print and resell or sell the printable file. Capisce?

DIY Ouija Board Halloween Tray
If you love the spooky feeling a ouija board can add to your Halloween decor, then this is the project for you! This DIY ouija board Halloween tray adds a creepy touch and is also great to use as a serving tray at your Halloween party!

So I got a comment on the blog post about my witch costume the other day from a lady quoting scripture about how the Lord will put an end to witchcraft, fortune tellers, pagan cities and the such.

Folks, it’s the Halloween season. I’m not out here dancing around nude in the dark offering up my soul to the devil. I just love a damn good witch costume and Halloween.

I mean, we all know I need prayer for a whole lot of things but my witch costume and halloween decorations aren’t one of them.

All that being said, this ouija board tray will not be used to summon spirits. And even if I wanted to, I’m not sure the thick coat of Mod Podge I put on the bad boy would even let any spirits through.

This tray however can be seen throughout this glorious Halloween season adorning my coffee table, serving drinks, and just generally satisfying all my Halloween decorating dreams. 😆

Isn’t it spooky? It looks old and creepy and I love it for all that and more.

This tray is easily made using a pre-fab tray, a printable I’ve got for you and a couple other things.

DIY Ouija Board Halloween Serving Tray

Materials and Supples Needed:
- PreFab Wooden Tray – I used the medium one in this set.
- Black Spray Paint – I used this semi-gloss one.
- Ouija Board Printable – details below.
- Mod Podge – I used Satin.
- Foam Brush
- Scissors
Steps

Step 1

Print out the Ouija Board Printable.

You can get the printable from my Printable Library. To access the printable library, you’ll need to be an email subscriber to Rain on a Tin Roof.

If you’re already an email subscriber, go to the Printable Library here and enter the password which you can find at the bottom of the latest email from me, which would most likely be about this tray. Scroll down until you see the ouija board printable, download and print it using the links.

If you’re not already an email subscriber to Rain on a Tin Roof, simply click here and sign up. After signing up, you’ll receive an email to confirm your subscription. After doing this, you’ll be directed to the Printable Library where you can download the ouija board and then print.

Printing Notes

I used this public domain ouija board image and created two different sizes from it to use for the tray. If you go with the same tray size I used, I would recommend using the 8.5″ x 14″ size that I made. If you go with a smaller tray, you can use the 8.5″ x 11″ size. Both are available for download in my printable library.

Step 2

Paint the tray. I did two coats of spray paint.

Step 3

Cut out the printable.

If you go with the same size tray and printable I used, the printable is going to be longer than the tray. To cut it out, I just placed the printable in the tray, then creased where I should cut.

Now, I am not recommending that you do the next part exactly how I did it. I don’t want none of you coming back and blaming me for burning yourself.

After I cut the printable down some, I burned some of the paper along the edges to give it an authentic spooky Halloween look. Again, I don’t recommend you do this. If you do it, you are doing so at your own risk.

Step 4

Apply a good coat of Mod Podge onto the bottom of the tray, then immediately place the ouija board on top of it.

Apply a coat of Mod Podge over the ouija board.

Let dry, then add 1-2 more coats of Mod Podge. I did three coats total.

As you can see, I had a couple of wrinkles in my paper. I tried to get them out, but failed. However, in the end, I think it just added more to the overall “old” look of the project.

Oooo, I just love it!

Isn’t it so fun for Halloween?

I’m off to give this thing a whirl and see who all I can conjure up!

Just kidding!

Free Printable VIP Pass
Use this free printable VIP pass for your next special event, party or just for your kiddos to have fun with! Simply print, cut out and place in a lanyard!

Another fun little thing I did for the Circus’ Red Carpet Birthday Party were these VIP Passes. These were for kids only, so it was an extra little touch that hopefully made them feel special and of course, like a VIP – which of course, they are!

Creative Commons red carpet image used for this printable found here. I replaced the stars with more red carpet.

Aren’t they fun? As soon as each kiddo walked through the door, they got one of these.

If you’ve got your own event coming up where these would be handy or want a fun little treat for partygoers, then you can easily whip out your own VIP Badges by downloading the free printable file I made for these.

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

VIP Badge Free Printable

Please note, these are for personal use only. Print as many passes as you wish, but you may not print and resell or sell the printable file.

To get the printable VIP pass file, you’ll need to be a Rain on a Tin Roof email subscriber. It’s free and I don’t usually send out anymore than 2-3 emails a week – just when I publish new posts.

Sign up below to get on the email list and to also gain access to the printable VIP badge file.

Once you’ve subscribed and confirmed your subscription, you’ll be sent to a page where you can download the file. As a Rain on a Tin Roof Roof subscriber, you’ll also be able to snag all the other free printables in my printable library.

Already a Rain on a Tin Roof email subscriber? You can put your email address in the form above and it should immediately take you to the download page for the VIP pass. You won’t be signed up twice for my emails though. You can also find a link to the file in my Printable Library if you’d rather go that route. Look at the bottom of the last email you got from me for the password.

VIP Pass Printing Info and Tips
- There are eight VIP passes per sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ paper.
- The passes are on a black background that covers the entire sheet of paper. This will obviously take some ink. I highly suggest taking this to a printing center like Staples so you don’t use all your ink. Personally, I always take my stuff like this to Staples because I don’t even own a color printer. haha!
- Printing on card stock or photo paper will be best. Photo paper will give you a more glossy sheen if you go that route. I had mine printed on card stock.
Making the VIP Passes Look Legit

Like how I worded that? haha.

To give the passes a “real deal” look, after cutting each one out, I placed it in a lanyard.

I bought this pack of lanyards for our passes. Of course, you can go with whatever your little heart desires.

Have fun with these – they could even just be a fun little addition to your kiddo’s dress up ensembles!

This Kitchen is for Dancing Free Printable
Kitchens aren’t just for cooking – more importantly, they’re for dancing! Grab this Kitchen is for Dancing free printable to jazz up your kitchen with something besides food!

I’m sure many of you were thinking I must have really meant my whole spill about embracing the Caftans and Cocktails way of life seeing as how I haven’t posted for over two weeks since writing that post. Well, I definitely did mean it, but I also intended to have a couple of posts go up between then and now.

But then there came a pesky little migraine that I just couldn’t kick and lingered around for the better part of two weeks. After multiple doctor visits, two trips to the ER, and a couple scans, I am better.

I also now believe in the power of a Thorazine shot, despite how bad it hurts, and know that Valium is not everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s another story though. And yes, I do realize Thorazine is an antipsychotic medication, but when you haven’t slept for days, are nauseous and nothing else will crack the pain, apparently Thorazine will do the job – for a little while anyway.

When you have a migraine that lasts for two weeks and this is the first one you’ve ever had, your mind lingers to the worst possible outcome. I mean why else, wouldn’t all the meds you’ve been prescribed knock this thing out. Needless to say, while laying in my bed and on the worst day of it all, in our closet (because it was the absolute darkest place in the house), I thought for sure I wouldn’t make it through the day. A million thoughts ran through my head from thinking that at least I’d die laying under my beloved fur coats to I should have done more of this and less of that.

So, in celebration of finally being back to normal (or as normal as I’m ever going to be), I’m sharing this new printable I made for our kitchen.

When something like this hits you out of the blue, you realize just how much more the little things in life mean – like family dance parties in the kitchen.

How to Get the Kitchen is For Dancing Print

You can get the This Kitchen is for Dancing sign in two different sizes by subscribing to the Rain on a Tin Roof email subscription (it’s free and no more than 2-3 emails a week, usually just when I publish new posts). Sign up below to get access to download the printable art. Once you’ve subscribed and confirmed your subscription, you’ll be directed to a page where you can download the art. When you sign up, you’ll also be able to access and download all the other free printables in my printable library.

If you’re already an email subscriber here, then you can put your email address in the form above as well and it should automatically take you to the download page. Don’t worry – it won’t sign you up twice for my emails though! If that doesn’t work for some reason, then you can find a link to download the Kitchen is for Dancing art in my Printable Library. You can look at the bottom of the last email you received from me for the password.

Tips for Printing the This Kitchen is for Dancing Print

First off, these are for personal use only. Print as many as you wish to for yourself, but you may not print and resell or sell the files themselves.
- Print on card stock or photo paper. Some photo paper has a more glossy sheen though, so keep that in mind as to whether you want that look or not.
- If you’ve got a good color printer at home, then of course you can print them at home. I don’t, so I usually have my printable art printed at Staples.
- If you’re going the photo paper printing route, then I suggest Mpix for printing. Their color quality is really good. You can also opt for a matte finish there as well.
- You can print the art in two different sizes:
  - 8″ x 10″
  - 8.5″ x 11″ (typical printer paper and card stock size)
- Before you print, be sure to check if the image is being cropped and adjust it to your liking if needed.
Cheers to dancing any chance you get!

Clothing Rack Dividers – Free Printable Set!
Need to organize baby clothing or organize your clothes for a yard sale? Grab this free set of clothing rack dividers then! These clothing size dividers are great for kid’s closets, garage sales and more!

After hosting yard sales 2-3 times a year for the past seven years or so, I’ve learned what works best and what doesn’t work well when it comes to organizing items in your sale and of course – selling as much as you can.

Selling clothing at yard sales can be tricky. Even if you have really great pieces of clothing, if you don’t have the clothing displayed and organized well, then it won’t sell as much. Sure, you always have those people who will dig through piles of clothing, but I’m telling you right now if you have your clothing neatly organized and displayed, you will sell so much more of it.

To keep all the clothing items hanging up and organized at our yard sale, I made a clothing rack for each category and clothing rack size dividers as well.

These have made a world of difference in how much clothing we sell at our garage sales now!

Clothing Size Dividers: Free Printables

The printable size dividers include sizes 0 months – 3XL in a printable PDF file. The printable file, and all the other free printables in my Rain on a Tin Roof library, are available exclusively to my email subscribers. Just sign up below to get the size dividers and access to my free printable library!

If you’re already a Rain on a Tin Roof subscriber, you can find the printable size dividers in my Printable Library. Look at the bottom of the last email you received from me for the password!

Printing Tips
- The clothing rack size dividers are made to print two per page.
- Once you print them out, cut out around them and cut out the black line and black center portion on the dividers. This allows your dividers to easily go onto the dowel rod.
- After printing and cutting mine out, I also opted to laminate them to keep them in better shape and make them last longer.
I hope you find these helpful for selling more clothing at your next yard sale!

The DIY clothes racks you see above are a great way to hang the clothes at your yard sale and of course, they work with the size dividers too!

Have you used clothes dividers to organize clothing before?

Find Her Jesus Keep Her Well Printable
Yesterday, the Circus had her very first day of Kindergarten.

I’m still not quite sure how this is possible, but I know she’s ready for it! She totally rocked her first day.

I’m so excited for her to start on this new adventure and of course, also just a little scared and a little sad too because now I won’t have my buddy for yard sale and thrift store Fridays. ?

As you all know by now, I’m a huge country music fan and one of my favorite current female artists is Miranda Lambert. Girl can write a song like nobody’s business. I don’t think there’s ever been a single song on any of her albums that I haven’t liked. When the Circus was born and as she’s grown, a line from one of Miranda’s songs, Mama I’m Alright, has always repeated through my head:

Find Her Jesus Keep Her Well
Help Her Do More Right Than Wrong at the End of the Day

I had every intention years ago to create wall art with those lines for the Circus’ room, but apparently it took kindergarten registration to actually make that happen.

In case any of you have any little (or big!) girls of your own out there, I wanted to share with you as well. I also made the Find Her Jesus, Keep Her Well art in three different styles. My girl is all about blues and teals right now, so the one above was made with her specifically in mind.

I loved the pastels on this floral print contrasting with the black font though as well.

And I also did one with a pretty floral wreath around the text. This one comes in both a regular vertical size print and a square version as well.

How to Get the Find Her Jesus Art

You can get all three of the printable art pieces in all the different sizes available by subscribing to the Rain on a Tin Roof email subscription (it’s free and no more than 2-3 emails a week, usually just when I publish new posts). Sign up below to get access to download the art. Once you’ve subscribed and confirmed your subscription, you’ll be directed to a page where you can download the art. When you sign up, you’ll also be able to access and download all the other free printables in my printable library.

If you’re already an email subscriber to this freak show we run around here, then you should be able to input your email address in the form above as well and it should automatically take you to the download page. Don’t worry – it won’t sign you up twice for my emails though! If that doesn’t work for some reason, then you can find a link to download the Find Her Jesus art in my Printable Library. You can look at the bottom of the last email you received from me for the password.

Tips for Printing the Find Her Jesus Keep Her Well Art

Please note, these are for personal use only. Print as many as you wish to for yourself, but you may not print and resell or sell the files themselves.
- Print on card stock or photo paper. Some photo paper has a more glossy sheen though, so keep that in mind as to whether you want that look or not.
- If you’ve got a good color printer at home, then of course you can print them at home. I don’t, so I typically print out my things like this at Staples or another printing center like that.
- If you’re going the photo paper printing route, then I typically use Mpix for printing. Their color quality is really good. You can also opt for a matte finish there as well.
- Each image comes in two different sizes:
  - 8″ x 10″
  - 8.5″ x 11″ – each image is centered with white space around it on this size.
- Additionally, the wreath style art comes in a square size as well.
- Before you print, be sure to check how the image is being cropped and adjust it to your liking before printing.
I haven’t quite decided where I’m going to put this print just yet, but I’m leaning heavily toward the Circus’ bathroom. I think that’s the perfect place for her to see it everyday as she gets ready for school.

Here’s to all our little Circuses!

Free Printable Cow Art
Use this free printable cow art to bring a touch of chic country charm to your home. There are five different cow prints – each in color and black and white – that you can choose from. The best part? They are all free for you to use – personal use only though!

We call my uncle the cow whisperer.

He can walk into a barn lot, and even without a bucket of feed, after a minute or two, he can often walk right up to a cow without it running away.

He’s been practicing his whole life, so this should be no surprise.

The rest of us though, well we have to tiptoe in and hide behind fence posts to keep them from running off – unless we have a few buckets of feed. In that case, they’ll come up pretty quickly.

Needless to say, it took a good hour, quite a few awkward positions, stepping in cow shit a time or two, and a good zoom lens to get good photos of some of the cows to use as wall art.

The buckets of feed didn’t last as long as I needed them to.

But I succeeded.

They did spot me, but when they did, I went still and quiet as I’d learned from the cow whisperer himself.

The key, I believe, is to talk softly and make no sudden moves. It’s almost like your romancing a damn cow.

Be warned though, there are no perfumed candles to set the mood.

I managed to get five pretty good shots of the cows. I’ve turned them into printable wall art that I’ll be using myself and also sharing with you if you’d like. You can print off each image in either color or black and white and decorate with them however you wish – just remember they are for personal use only, no reselling.

How to Get the Free Cow Prints

You can get all five of the cow art prints in both color and black and white by subscribing to the Rain on a Tin Roof email subscription (it’s free and no more than 2-3 emails a week, usually just when I publish new posts). Just sign up below to get access to download the cow printables. Once you’ve subscribed and confirmed your subscription, you’ll be able to download the art. When you sign up, you’ll also be able to access and download all my other free printables in my printable library.

If you’re already a Rain on a Tin Roof subscriber, you can find a link to download the printable cow art in my Printable Library. You can look at the bottom of the last email you received from me for the password. Additionally, you should also be able to put your email address in the box above and it should automatically take you to the download page. It won’t sign you up twice for my emails though.

Tips for Printing the Cow Wall Art

Again, these are for personal use only. Print as many as you wish to for yourself, but don’t print and resell.
- Print on card stock or photo paper. Some photo paper has a more glossy sheen though, so keep that in mind as to whether you want that look or not.
- If you’ve got a good color printer at home, then of course you can print them at home. I don’t, so I typically print out my things like this at Staples or another printing center like that.
- If you’re going the photo paper printing route, then I typically use Mpix for printing. Their color quality is really good. You can also opt for a matte finish there as well.
- Each image is centered with white space around it on an 8.5″ x 11″ size sheet of paper. I do this so that you can print on card stock or 8″ x 10″ photo paper and it still work without cropping the image too much. If you do print on 8″ x 10″ photo paper or another smaller size of photo paper, just be sure to look and see how the image is being cropped and adjust as needed before printing.
I hope you enjoy this printable cow art – here’s to romancing the cows! 😉

Here’s Your One Chance Fancy Printable Art
Who doesn’t love Reba McEntire’s song, Fancy? Seriously, y’all. It’s a total classic. My little five year old self would literally sit in front of the television watching TNN (The Nashville Network) back in the day before heading to school just praying to see the Fancy video. And honestly, if you don’t like it, I just don’t know that we can be friends. Just to commemorate how amazing that song is, here’s some Here’s Your One Chance Fancy printable art to adorn a wall in your home – and to remind us to take those chances. 😉

If you saw my office makeover, then you already know this art made an appearance in there – as well as Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. I like to cover all my bases.

In there though, I printed off this art in a somewhat uncommon rectangle size, a 5″ x 15″, and then made a frame for it. In that particular space, I really wanted something more rectangular and didn’t want it to be as big as a normal printable size because I didn’t want to take away from Dolly who is just to the right of Fancy.

Because I know most people would just want a normal size of this art, I also made it in a standard printable 8.5″ x 11″ size.

And if you want to print it on regular photo paper, there’s enough white space to crop it down and fit it onto those sizes as well.

I also did two different font variations and color variations. You can choose from the more chic skinny font, the thicker brushstroke font, if you want Fancy in black or red and if you want a white or black background. If you do want the more horizontal, rectangle size, I’m including that size with these free printables as well and those also have the same variations of the standard 8.5″ x 11″ size.

So really with all these options and sizes, there’s no excuse to not put this up somewhere in your house and all hail Queen Reba. 😉

How to Get the Fancy Free Printable Art

All the Fancy printables are free for my Rain on a Tin Roof email subscribers. Just sign up below to get access to download the printables and to also get all the other free printables in my printable library.

If you’re already a Rain on a Tin Roof subscriber, you can find a link to download the Fancy printable art in my Printable Library. Look at the bottom of the last email you received from me for the password! And, if technology doesn’t fail me, you should be able to put your email address into the box above as well and it should take you straight to the download page. And nope, it shouldn’t sign you up twice for my emails. 🙂

Here’s Your One Chance Fancy Printable Printing Tips

First things first, these are for personal use only. Feel free to print as many as you wish for yourself! Please do not print these and try to sell them. Please do not copy my files and try to sell them on Etsy or anywhere else. Basically, please be a good and honest person. 🙂 Because if you’re not, then I’ll sic my posse on you. 🙂

Printing the Vertical 8.5″ x 11″ Size
- The vertical images can be printed as is on 8.5″ x 11″ sizes of paper. I suggest using a good card stock when printing.
- If you want smaller sizes, there is enough white space around the text that you should be able to print in those sizes as well.
Printing the Horizontal 5″ x 15″ Size

If you want to go with the size I printed my Fancy art out on, then you’ll have to find a place that will print that size. I went with Mpix. They offer the 5″ x 15″ size and their color quality is wonderful.

I hope you guys enjoy this little nod to an iconic song – Here’s Your One Chance Fancy…

Free Printable Horse Art

If you love a beautiful piece of horse art, but don’t always love the price tag that comes with it, then this horse wall art is for you! These printable horse images are free and make beautiful decor for your walls!

My pap bought my brother and I a horse once.

His name was Charley.

I shit you not.

He bucked my brother and I off one day though and after that my pap just told us Charley ran off to the ridge. In reality, he got sold.

I didn’t get on another horse for a while, but when I did, it was on a trail ride out west and once we had made it to the top of a hill with extremely steep sides, my saddle turned sideways and I had to clench my thighs so hard to hang on that I felt like I’d worked out everyday for a week solid after that.

I have not been on a horse since.

There are lots of times though when I walk over to the barn lot at the farmhouse and I look at those horses that I think it might be nice to ride.

Horse Wall Art

Then I realize I don’t actually know anything about riding a horse, needless to say saddling one up and never did so maybe I’d better just crank up the four-wheeler.

The Circus on the other hand is determined to learn how to ride. She has no fear when it comes to these horse and prefers to be inside the fence with them rather than out.

One day, I have no doubt she will ride a horse of her own.

While these horses reside at the farmhouse, they are owned by family friends. We love having them there though and the Circus loves spoiling them with apples and carrots. The horses know it’s going to be a good day when the red truck pulls up the drive.

I spent some time a couple weeks back sneaking around them to capture some photos and they turned out so well that I wanted to share them with you.

There are three different images – one of each horse alone and one of them together.

I also did variations of each image – there is a regular color version, a black and white version and a watercolor version.

You can print them off and frame them or decorate with them however you wish. They are for personal use only though, folks. No reselling. 🙂

Free Horse Pictures to Print

You can get all three of the horse printables and each variation by subscribing to the Rain on a Tin Roof email subscription right here.

Once you’re subscribed, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to access my free printable library and that is where you will find the horse printables.

If you’re already a subscriber, then just look at the last email you got from me, which is probably the email that had the link to this post, scroll to the bottom of the email and you’ll find the instructions there for accessing the printable library!

A few tips for printing:

I suggest printing on card stock or photo paper. Photo paper will most likely give you more of a deeper and possibly glossy color if you go with a glossy finish, so keep that in mind if you like that look or not.

If you’re just going the card stock printing route, then you can of course print them at home from your own printer, or if you don’t have a color printer like me, then I take them to Staples print center.

If you’re going the photo paper printing route, then I highly suggest using Mpix for printing them – I print all of my photos there and they have excellent color quality.

I have centered each of the images with white space around the edges on an 8.5″ x 11″ size paper. That way, if you print on card stock, you’re good to go and if you go with 8″ x 10″ photo paper, you’re good to go too, you just won’t have as much white space. Just check to see how the photo printing software you use is cropping the image before you print it.

I hope you guys enjoy these printable horse images as much as we enjoy the horses!

Double Double Toil and Trouble Free Halloween Printable

Get instant easy Halloween decor by snagging this free printable Double Double Toil and Trouble quote art!

As I’ve already said this week, I’ve been enthralled with ghosts and witches since I can remember. I started watching scary movies at a far younger age than I probably ever should have. But I turned out alright. 😉

One of my favorite Halloween movies as a small child was Double Double Toil and Trouble, with yes, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Now, I’m not a Mary Kate and Ashley fan really, but the whole storyline of that movie with Sophia being trapped by her evil twin, Agatha in the mirror just reeled me.

And while it was William Shakespeare thru his witches that first coined the Double Double Toil and Trouble line, it was first introduced to me by that movie.

And every Halloween when I take out my witch’s hat to hand out candy in, it’s that line that I say over and over again.

How to Get the Double Double Toil and Trouble Free Printable

If you’re one of my email subscribers, then you can snag the Double Double Toil and Trouble printable for free in my printable library! Remember, the password is going to be at the bottom of the last email you received from me, which was probably about this post!

Tips for Printing and Hanging the Double Double Toil and Trouble Printable

This piece is made to be printed out on a piece of 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper. I suggest using card stock.

You will probably have a small amount of white around the edges of the print. Just cut that off if you don’t like it. I left mine because it was going on a white mat and frame anyway, so you can’t tell too much and also, I don’t have the ability to cut a straight line.

I opted to tape my printable to the outside of a frame that already had a piece of art in it. Since it’s for Halloween, it’s only going to be out for a month, so I didn’t see a reason to totally frame it behind glass for that month. If you do want to frame it in an 8×10 frame, then just scale the print down to where it is centered on your sheet of paper before centering it. This will leave more white space.

This is also the year the Circus will be introduced to Double Double Toil and Trouble. So far, she’s loved all the other classics I’ve made her watch, so I have high hopes for this one too. 😉

Free Printable Spell Book Cover and Potion Labels

Time to cook up some spells this Halloween! We can’t do that without our spell book and potions, right? Use this free printable spell book cover and potion labels to complete your Halloween decorating – and cast a spell or two!

Grunt Labor is totally weirded out by my love for witches, ghosts and such. If I’m reading a book about any sort of spooky thing like that, I usually catch him rolling his eyes a time or two.

Luckily, he’s let me drag him through ghost tours in Savannah and Marie Laveau’s grave in New Orleans.

I have loved witches and ghosts ever since I can remember, even as a little kid. They’ve never scared me, only intrigued me.

This Halloween with my decorations, I really went for more authentic-like spooky decor, rather than cutesy stuff. I have a few cute things here and there, but I really upped the legit spooky factor this year – this spell book and potion vignette being one of those things…

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

P.S. I had a really bad lighting situation going on when I photographed this, so just overlook the graininess of some of these photos!

I took a little corner in our entryway and created this little Halloween nook. I bought “potion bottles” and then created the labels. I’m offering these labels as a free printable if you’re one of my email subscribers.

Why yes, that is real bat blood. Not Karo syrup mixed with red food coloring.

And powdered werewolf bone. It doesn’t taste like flour at all.

That monster mash….oh my. It tastes slightly familiar though – maybe water mixed with green food coloring?

The snake venom. Very syrupy…perhaps with a little yellow coloring.

And the grave dirt. Who knew we had a grave right in our front flower bed?

You can also snag the Spells, Enchantments and Curses printable spell book cover for free as an email subscriber as well.

A girl who loves witches and spells as much as I do, needs a proper spell book, right? 😉

Tips for Printing the Potion Labels

There are actually three more surprise potion labels included on the printable that I didn’t use on my potion bottles, so there ya go!

I suggest printing the labels out on a piece of card stock, then just cut out around the labels.

I took a piece of jute twine, positioned it in a half circle behind the label, then hot-glued both ends to the back of the label to make it where I could hang the labels on the bottles.

Tips for Printing the Spell Book Cover

The spell book cover is designed to be printed out on a piece of 8 1/2″ x 14″ legal size paper. Also, mine printed out lighter than what the design shows, so just be aware of that.

The trick to the spell book cover is finding a book that it best fits around. Cut the cover out after you print it, then grab a few books and see which one fits the cover best. The book I used still shows some of the front cover’s edges and didn’t wrap entirely around the back of the book, but that didn’t matter since it doesn’t show. To hold the cover in place, I just put tape on the back of the cover and taped it to the book.

Happy Spell Casting!

Five Free Fall Mums Watercolor Printables

I am so excited about how this little project turned out, ya’ll! It’s not really a project, I suppose, but either way, I’m excited about it.

If you’re coming over from Robb Restyle, welcome! I just love Kristy’s Cool Nights printable – so perfect for fall!

If you saw my fall home tour, then you know I gave myself a hard time about not being on top of my fall game. Well, I finally said screw it when it came to fall decorating and just threw a few pumpkins out and called it good.

Isn’t it funny though how sometimes when you stop trying so hard you end up getting exactly what you were trying to get?

Or something like that.

Well that’s how these fall mums watercolor printables came to be.

My friend, Laura from The Turquoise Home asked myself and a few of our other blogger friends to join in on a fall printable blog hop. With all my fall woes, I wasn’t sure I could come up with anything.

But after a little ego boosting from some friends, I managed to come up with this…

And I am tickled pink over it, ya’ll! I mean, it’s not a Monet or anything, but for someone who totally wasn’t feeling all the fall decor, I was excited about how it turned out.

In fact, so excited that I came up with four more…

The ADHD just totally kicked in and I was all gung-ho about it.

Wait, is gung-ho even a saying where you live?

Not only did I create five different watercolor scenes, but I also did two different font variations on each of them.

And you can get all of them fo’ free!

What can you do with them?

Well, for starters, print them off. 😉 I suggest printing on card stock, which is what I did. I usually either take or upload all my color printing things like this to Staples print center. With these, I told them to center each image on a piece of 8.5 x 11 card stock paper and then print them off. Then you can frame them, display them on a clipboard or use them to cover up a hole in your wall. Basically, whatever your little heart desires to do with them.

Besides the font variations, I am also giving you the watercolor file itself without any text in case that’s your shot of whiskey.

How to Get the Printables

You can get all five of the fall mums printables by subscribing to the Rain on a Tin Roof email subscription right here.

Once you’re subscribed, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to access my free printable library and that is where you will find all of these fall printables.

If you’re already a subscriber, then just look at the last email you got from me, which is probably the email that had the link to this post, scroll to the bottom of the email and you’ll find the instructions there for accessing the printable library!

I really hope you guys love these little things as much as I do.

Happy Printing! 😉

Free Printable Project Planner for Room Makeovers

I am notorious for starting a project off strong, getting 90% finished, and then……I’m at a standstill.

Still there.

And still nothing.

All that little stuff at the end, while it’s usually relatively easy and often fun (hello, accessories!), I always put it off. Always. Thus, why you have yet to see a dedicated post on the full kitchen makeover, or the living room or the dining room and a few more spaces. You’ve seen the rooms, but there are lots of little things that still need to be finished up, purchased, etc.

It’s that last little bit. Side note: I actually do have curtains in here now! Yay me!

So this year, I decided to give myself deadlines.

I cannot stand to miss a deadline.

When I was working as a teacher, anytime something was due, I was either one of the first to turn it in on or before the due date. Perhaps, that makes me a nerd.

To finish all the little things in the dining room, living room, kitchen, and to also fully complete a room makeover by my self-imposed deadlines, I made a Printable Project Planner for Room Makeovers.

It outlines my general ideas, tasks that need to be done in the space, things that need to be bought, the budget breakdown, room measurements and a section for random things to make note of.

It’s nothing fancy, y’all, but since I’ve filled one of these out for the kitchen, I’ve already marked a couple of things off that list you see up there. Yay me again! Since it’s just one sheet, it’s also easy to just grab and take with me to the home improvement store or other shops to pick up things on the list.

I thought some of you might find this helpful as well, so you can grab the file in my Free Printables Library.

To get access to the Printables Library, you just need to be a subscriber to the Freak Show that is Rain on a Tin Roof. 😉 If you aren’t already a subscriber, click the image below to get signed up. If you are already a subscriber, just look at the bottom of the last email you got from me and it will have directions on how to access the Free Printables Library!

According to my Kitchen Project Plan, I’ve got to have that space completed by the end of February – hold me accountable y’all!

Hope you guys find this helpful as well!

DIY Lucite Frame + Gone With the Wind Printable
I am a sucker for many things.

Laffy Taffy.

Kelly Green.

Oh, and Navy Blue or Cobalt Blue – its pretty good too.

Sausage & Biscuits.

Grunt Labor.

Cherry Coke.

Cheap Beer.

Lucite.

Good Southern Movies.

The last two are the focus of this project.

Because really who doesn’t love a little faux lucite and a good Gone With the Wind quote?

Now, let’s pair those together in this DIY Lucite Frame.

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

Start to finish, this is going to take you all of 10 minutes. If that.

Boom.

How to Make a Lucite Wall Frame

Tools & Supplies Needed:
- Printable (link at end of post) or other art of your choice.
- 2 pieces of Acrylic or Styrene Sheets in whatever size of your choice. Mine are 18″ x 24″, but you can do whatever size you want. I got mine at Home Depot. They are also on Amazon and I’m sure at other home improvement stores.
- 4 – #8 Machine Screws 3/4″ length (the length can be smaller if you aren’t using as thick of acrylic as I was.)
- 4 – #8 Screw Nuts
- Drill and Drill Bit the size of your screw ends
- 4 Small Clamps
- Pen or Pencil
Steps

Step 1:

Take the plastic off the acrylic.

Step 2:

Place your art on one of the pieces of acrylic. You may want to put a couple pieces of tape on the back of the art to keep it in place while you make the frame. Next, place the other piece of acrylic directly on top of that.

Clamp it all together.

Step 3:

Mark where you want your screws to go.

I came in about 1 1/4″ on both sides.

Step 4:

Going slowly and not putting too much pressure on the drill, drill through your marks until you make it through both pieces of acrylic.

Step 5:

Place a screw through each of the holes and screw a nut onto the back.

Heck of a lot cheaper than having someone else frame art for you.

Don’t you just love that quote from Rhett?

It will never get old.

I hope you have a damn good day.

Free Banana Leaves Watercolor Printables

When the bathroom makeover turned into a bathroom makeover – ya know – when I removed the popcorn ceiling and that turned into a pink ceiling and that turned into needing new wall paint and then it just all turned into a full on makeover?

Well anyway, what I really really really wanted in the space was some of the Beverly Hills Hotel banana leaf / palm wallpaper.

I didn’t want it over all the walls – just like one.

But even that was outta my league – too pricey.

I really wanted to bring some of that green into my bathroom though. Let’s be honest, I love green. We all know this. There are hints of it in the living room and kitchen, and I wanted to keep that going in the bathroom.

So I searched. I searched high and low, far and wide, for some type of banana leaf / palm leaf / whatever art print.

And everything was out of my price range.

‘Cause let’s face it – I’m cheap.

And then one day I was sitting on the couch and thought to myself, “Self, you should just download that Waterlogue app that was all the rage a few months back and make your own art.”

Self responded, “YES.”

So self bought the app – she thinks it was $3 or so.

Then self went outside and took photos of her own banana tree leaves that she scored at the Haven Conference.

And then she ran them through the app.

And she had beautiful banana leaves watercolors that she used in her bathroom and is sharing with you.

There are four here for you to enjoy and use however you so desire.

(Find out how to download the art at the end of the post.)

I ended up only using one. I framed it and hung it above the towel rack in my bathroom. There simply wasn’t room for more in the space. Don’t worry though – I’m sure they will show up in other rooms soon.

I suggest printing them out in a matte finish – it will help keep that watercolor look.

You can totally just print them out on your printer, but I opted to print them out via a photo service. I think I used Snapfish.

DIY Quote Art {Free Sex and the City & Dirty Dancing Printables}

If you know anything about me, its probably two things:

1. I like cheap beer.

2. I quote Sex and the City waaaay too much.

Seriously guys, its impossible for me to count how many times I have quoted Carrie Bradshaw or any character from Sex and the City on this blog. And then there’s all the times I’ve quoted it in real life – besides to my friends that live in the computer as Grunt Labor says.

In the ongoing group text message between myself, Grunt Labor, Nicky, and the Man of Questionable Honor, I know there were two days in a row where Sex and the City quotes were flying everywhere.

You see, The Man of Questionable Honor has not only moved to New York City (the Sex and the City mecca), but he has fallen in love.

And as Carrie Bradshaw said,

“Year after year, twenty-something women come to New York City in search of the two L’s: labels and love.”

Ok, so Brandon is a guy and he’s not in his 20’s, but ya know, same thing. He’s got both L’s now.

Anyone who knows me would also say I am incredibly random.

The previous paragraphs prove this.

Let’s chat about this DIY Quote Art today, shall we?

I also have some snazzy printables for ya!

When I realized the bathroom was getting a makeover, even though I hadn’t intended for it to, I knew I wanted to change up the decor on the built-in bathroom shelving.

I needed new art.

And I love quotes.

Quote art was obviously the way to go.

The More Issues Than Vogue is a Sex and the City quote.

I made it by wrapping some of the black and white fabric leftover from the DIY shower curtain and cornice around a canvas and stapling it.

I placed the printable on top, pushed furniture tacks through the corners, then put a bit of hot glue around the backs of the tacks to secure them.

The other quote, I carried a watermelon, is from…

Come on, you should know this!

Dirty Dancing.

Its one of my favorite movies. Ever.

These printables were easy to whip up. I made them with PicMonkey and had them both finished in under 10 minutes.

But…if you want, I’ll share them with you – for free.

‘Cause I’m cool like that.
