It's Monday and Time for You're The Star
Welcome to You're The Star - Creative Feature Week
Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We are still quite hot and lots of rain. They said cooler weather is coming the end of October. Yikes, that seems so far away. I am ready for cool temps.
Welcome to the second week of the September 2022 blog hop called "You're the Star"!
Before we continue onto the Linky party I wanted to share this post from my blog:

Saturday and Time to Party at Happiness Is Homemade
Welcome to the Happiness is Homemade Link Party
I hope your weekend is going well. Ours has been very nice although we have had a lot of rain. Each day around 3 or 4 it rains. Well, it is the rainy season, so what can you expect? Fortunately, we have not had any hurricanes so far. I hope it stays that way.
I'm so glad that you're here to inspire and be inspired by all of the greatness shared on this week's party! If you missed last week's party, you can check it out here.
This Week's Features
Bats, Branches and Bows
Bats, Branches and Bows
I have a very inexpensive project for you and everything comes from the Dollar Tree and your back yard. I call it my bats, branches and bows project.
I had to start creating some Halloween decor. I kept seeing all of the posts about fall and Halloween so when I went into the Dollar Tree the other day, I found these packages of bats.
The great thing about these bats was that they had clips on the back so I could easily attach them to branches.
Although I liked the bats, I thought I would paint their eyes red. I had some red paint and dabbed it on. You don't need to do this if you don't want to. Hopefully, you can see their red eyes in this picture.
I headed in the back yard for some branches. I found one that had some moss on it. That would work well. I gather a couple more sticks. Hubby gave me this blue/green vase on my birthday with flowers in it. Although it is new, I like the shape and color.
I did place some floral foam in the bottom to hold the branches. Once the branches were secured, I started to add the bats.
Of the 4 packages of bats, I used all of them except for 2. I needed something more. A bow around the vase. I also found this at the Dollar Tree. First I tied some ribbon around the vase and then made a bow and attached it.
While at the store, I also found these Halloween shot glasses, at least that's what I think they are. I wasn't really sure what I was going to use them for, just bought them.
I put a tea light in them and put them around the vase.
So for $6 I was able to create my Bats, Branches and Bows. I am so excited that I created my first fall/Halloween project. Maybe I will go in the attic and get my fall and Halloween stuff down.
The post Bats, Branches and Bows first appeared on Eclectic Red Barn.

First Thursday Favorite Party in September
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday and the first one in September. This year is going by so fast. I sort of feel like I was just working on Halloween decor and here I am thinking about it again. Yikes!
I love seeing all of the fall and Halloween posts. I am starting to get in the fall mood even though the temps are still high. If I wait for for the temps to cool down, it will be after Christmas. lol!
Enjoy the rest of your week and have a great weekend.

September and the Wonderful Wednesday Party
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!
Here it is September. Can you believe it? I see all of the fall and Halloween decor ideas and I am trying to get there, but it is hard when it is so hot. Maybe I should turn my air-conditioning down and make some Halloween items. lol!
Have a great week ahead!
