HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I haven't had much time to blog or create lately, but here's some pics from trick or treating with my BOO-tiful princess.

We love Halloween, dressing up in costumes, eating sweet treats and carving pumpkins! Last year we wanted to have a Halloween party that would not be scary for our then 18 month old daughter so we came up with a carving party. It was so much fun, we've decided to make a annual family event! We carve traditional jack-o-lantern faces, fancy thinned out designs, and add other fun accessories like googly eyes, paint and stickers.

Here's the invitations I made for this years celebration! They are a double slider card, just pull the pumpkins stem and out pops the invite info and a cute poem.

The poem reads:

We bought a fat orange pumpkin,

the plumpest sort they sell.

We neatly scooped the inside out,

and only left the shell.

We carved a funny face,

of silly shape and size,

a pointy nose, a jagged mouth,

and two enormouse eyes.

We set it on the porch,

and put a candle in,

then lit it up for all to see

our jack -o-lantern grin.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yep, it's my birthday! I know some people don't like birthdays but I always have! It's not the gifts or attention or... it's just my special day. A day to mark where I've been and where I want to go, but most importantly a day to eat CAKE! and you know how much I love cake!

Growing up my best friend's birthday was today too. We aren't close any more but I still always think of her on our special day. Happy Birthday to you too!

Celebrating Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year! Why? I love the cooler nights, jackets and sweaters, brilliant fall foliage colors, pumpkins and mums, apples and berries, scarecrows and leaf piles, holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving (my favorite), I could go on and on. Did I mention my birthday is in the fall too! In honor of fall beginning today, I gave my blog a fall makeover, and I will be getting out all my fall home decor too! Happy Fall, enjoy it!
