We couldn't ask for a better day to put on our costumes, roam around, and truly enjoy the autumn chill, gloom, and rain for this weekend! For my costume, I simply spent $5.99 on a sailor hat, added on a stripe shirt along with a thick rope as a belt- I was a sailor sailing away! I made simple Halloween cards this year. Keeping with the tradition, of course I had to do an owl for Owleen! 

While i'm still adjusting to a new work environment. I've grown very fond of the folks I work with. When it comes to work it's so important to be comfortable with my surroundings, people, and environment. So far, so good. I can't wait to see what's in store. Along with getting comfortable I got to know the folks a little better by jotting down when their birthday is.. It just so happens that one of the gals had a birthday during the week and didn't tell any of us. I knew I had to do a little merry unbirthday for her:


Materials On Hand:
Glue dots from Joanns, yellow floral washi tape and vintage scraps from Michaels, Vintage bingo cards from the Philippines, and accent lines from target.

I bought a card stock pattern set from Joanns this past weekend. When I got home, I wanted to play and craft instantly. I was so attracted to the deep green stripes {It also reminds me of Blue's Clues!}, and it goes so perfectly with the washi tape I wanted to use for the card. I brought the card to work and everyone signed it, I surprised the belated birthday gal with a chocolate cake. It was a small sweet gesture. I'm so excited for whats to come in a few weeks since Halloween will be here. Which means I gotta start crafting on that now! Cheers!

As it's still Summer here in Southern California, I spent last weekend at the LA County Fair. It was the last weekend before closing up, and surprisingly it sprinkled a little. Rain is far from us now, as it's 100 degrees as i'm typing this. It was my first time going to LACF. Next year I would plan to go on a week day as it's less people and more room to roam and run around. I was surprised with how huge it was compared to OC fair. Here are a few stills from last Saturday:
