I found a cute house shaped basket at Homegoods (you can
buy a similar house shaped basket here
) and thought that would make a unique tip jar. (Disclosure: I am including affiliate links for your convenience.)
What I really like about this basket is that it offers two
ways for people to leave tips. Simply open the lid and they can drop in some
cash, or open the door and leave their tip inside.
While it's
already cute on its own, I knew it could use a little makeover to make it even
cuter.

10 Handmade Halloween Costumes for Adults
I am ALL about the costume on Halloween. I don't decorate the house much because I'm usually working on costumes. I start thinking about my costume a least a month or two in advance. I want my costume to be something clever or different or just plain crazy - hopefully all three. Last Halloween's Little Edie from Gray Gardens costume fits the bill. It was super easy to make too. Yay for easy!

"Easy for you Lisa," you say, "You know how to sew. I can't sew. I can't make a Halloween costume. I'm just gonna to buy one at the pop up Halloween shop."
Stop right there! You do not need to know how to sew to make a great Halloween costume! Last Halloween I went to a party. I saw tons of clever homemade costumes. Some were home sewn but most, like the Little Edie costume I made were not.
