alright... things have been a bit hectic around my world, and I've neglected my little space here... I'm really looking forward to the holidays and time to expand my blogging.
T to B, L to R:
- I started making invitations to my Halloween party back in September. Halloween is right up there as my favorite holiday, any excuse to dress up and I'm there. I got this idea from Martha Stewart's Halloween magazine last year.
- This is my first softie made at the end of September. The pattern is from this awesome blogger & crafter (Allsorts)
- I took a solo road trip to so-cal for the one and only Gannon and her magnificent 1st Birthday party. Much fun was had! (bounce house, face painting, taco cart...and more)
- On my way home I spotted this license plate and made a double take... I was giggling all alone and braved driving in california traffic, while snapping away with my trusty Nikon, just to see if anyone else saw what I did. (Best viewed at original size.)
- When I got home from my trip I had my first coloriffic swap-o-rama package... it had the cutest handmade pin from Stephanie at A Wonderful Treat
- Shortly after we went to Seany Man's 6th birthday at the park...another opportunity to jump in a bounce house and take in all of the silliness.
- Finally the Halloween party was here... I spent entirely too much time decorating and planning, to the point that I wasn't really having much fun... but, my super cool brother made it to the party as Speed Racer and seeing everyone else in costume made it all worthwhile.
- This past week I got to hang with my best girl Catherine which culminated with a suprise birthday dinner for her husband at Smith & Wollensky's and after dinner fun at the House of Blues Foundation Room... it was incredible, the view from the balcony was breathtaking, wish I was drinking.... but more on that later! :)
