Weekend Flair: Halloween

Do you decorate for Halloween? I typically mush Halloween into the "fall" category and let nature take care of it.

However, this year I decided to be a little extra creative. First, I bought 2 rolls of white streamers from Target and a little clean packing tape and started wrapping my front door.

 I wrapped for what seemed like hours (likely a few minutes), and found myself only 1/2 way down the door and out of streamer paper. I made a run to another Target picked up a couple more and thankfully was able to finish the job.

I traced a couple large white circles using mixing bowls and a couple small black circles using soup bowls to make the eyes, and there appeared a mummy front door! 

Last year after Halloween, I of course made my way through the clearance. I found these wonderful  window decorations for a couple dollars. 

If you happen to already own orange plastic table cloth and black paper, you might be able to make your own!

I still have a giant spider and bat with glow in the dark web to put out before the big night, however I  must say I'm pretty happy with what I have gotten put out. A huge step up from nothing. :)

Expect an amazing return

Hello loyal blog followers.

I had planned to take a couple days away from my blog to finish up my Etsy store, rest, and clean my messy house. Here we are, nearly 2 months later. My Etsy store is open, however I still haven't rested up and to be honest, my house to rarely clean.

Life is never boring. I'm still working on pushing forward in certain areas of my life. My 2012 word is "do", and while I wish I had a longer list of done I am making measurable progress by remembering to simply "do".  My art studio (aka: crafting space) is a big pile of mess. I have to admit some beautiful things come out of the space, but holy moly it is a disaster area!

I have been fairly active on twitter and Instagram, now and then on facebook, and like I could really walk away from Pinterest :) I did a fun guest post at Mom It Forward. However, even with all of this, I really want to pick up on the blog again. I love sharing my little projects area the house, crafty experiments, crazy work happenings and random photos of Dakota and Jaffery.

My plan is to return, full force, on October 15. Yes folks. I will be back.
