As promised...a few photos 
from my house and a few of my Halloween decorations. Over dinner tonight, my husband and I were discussing our annual party - we host the kids first and then invite their families to come back later for s'mores and a campfire in our backyard. We decided this year that we would also do a night hike to look for "things that go bump in the night" through our back pasture and into our woods. I like Halloween because it's just a lot of fun!
I love the vintage Halloween stuff best. I told my girls that when they grow up someday, I'd give them parts of my village (oh yes, there is an entire Halloween village) and they replied that in fact no, they had planned that when I die, to bury me with my favorite village piece. I thought that was pretty funny...at least they know how much I LOVE this holiday. So, you'll hear me say this many times this month...Happy Halloween Greetings!
Danger! Warning! I repeat...I am NO GOOD at paper crafts!
OK...so I find out yesterday that my twins will have their first Holy Communion in...gasp!
three weeks!! I take them out for ice cream after our class and head over the scrapbooking store to see what ideas I can get for making invites for their big day.
I am clueless. I have no idea what the stuff is for, how to use it, nothing! So I buy some plain brown paper and head home. I had some cool Amy Butler papers already, some ribbon, a few tags and here's what I came up with in one hour. I have to say...I can be pretty darn crafty at times, eh?
And for all those Moms who don't want to spend $150 - $500 on a communion dress...oh yes, you heard right. Seriously, check out prices on line for these dresses. SHhheez! It's crazy...I found some great ones under the special occassion dresses for Gymboree. For under $40! Cha-ching!
