Hope you all had a great pre-Halloween weekend.  I spent this weekend finishing up crafting, and took photos of the festive decor I had at home that i'll be sharing later this week.  As I mentioned in my previous post - I've been feeling more goolish and decided to craft with monsters and spooky eyes.  I laid my eyes on a text with a few sayings and decide to go off of that for my Halloween cards.

Timing is everything so I made sure to get them done early this month so I can mail them out to loved ones so they can receive a little treat before they trick or treat on Tuesday!

I try to craft as much black and orange as I can for Halloween as I rarely use orange except for Fall and this frightful month.  So I try my best to incorporate orange as much as I can, with the help of washi tape!  As for little treats, one of my favorite treats are the Caramel Apple pops.  I bought a whole box and I thought it would pair perfectly with the Halloween cards. 

I'll passing these little goodies together to my friends, co-workers and their little monsters.  I mailed out a few of these little boo-tastic notes to M's little nephew, as well as my little nephews and nieces who are learning to read so I made sure to write a sweet, and simple scary-love note. XO

Materials On Hand:
monster eye stickers: 99 cents store
washi tape: hobby lobby
spooky sounds print out: oh happy day
black card stock: michaels
orange polka dot ribbon: joann's
caramel apple pops: smart & final

See last year's Halloween Cards here. Also, 2014 Owl-een cards here!

Happy Friday everyone!

This has been a very long week and I'm so glad the work week has come to an end. I spent the last two weekends crafting up Halloween goodies and have mailed out my Halloween cards for festive snail mail to my loved ones.  Closer to Halloween i'll be sharing how I decorated the house along with sweets & goodies.

The first thing I crafted up was a festive easy garland.  As every year, I've always crafted up owl inspired themes but this year was different.  Instead of bringing the owls back for Halloween,  I decided to use other goolish creatures like monsters and for this garland BATS!

Probably the reasoning for bats is possibly for Bruce Wayne and one of my favorite current TV shows is GOTHAM (Ryan Atwood forever!).  I got cut out an excessive amount of Bats and dusted off my fall twine and put them all together.  The garland was perfect as it was Halloween colors and made any space looked very festive!

Materials On Hand:
Bakers Twine: Hobby Lobby
Bats: Black construction paper from dollar store
Washi Tape: Craftcation giveaway goodie bag

What do you have planned this Halloween weekend?  I'll be spending the weekend with my little niece and nephew, along with errands, and as the weather finally cools down i'll be getting cozy with M catching up on Movies and Shows. 

Have a spooky weekend!!!

Along with snail mail Mondays, I decided to add in Wednesday Wrappings (& crafting!).  Although lately it's hasn't been a routine, I managed to squeeze in some gift wrapping and card making.  I wrapped up a belated gift for my best friend.  She had pointed out to me months before which glassware collection she liked at my work.  When her birthday was coming up we scheduled a belated birthday brunch together that included bottomless mimosas, because of course we brunch so hard!

Happy October everyone.

It's sad to wake up this morning and start the work-week with horrible news of what happened last night in Las Vegas.  My prayers and love definitely go out, and I will be going there this weekend for a family affair, but will extend my heart and help to anyone who is in need.  I was planning time out of my trip to donate blood, but I just found out with the Eligibility list from Red Cross I am unable to.. (i'm under 5'1.)

The weather is cooling down now and fall is in effect!  I spent the last day of summer and the first day of fall in Indian Wells and couldn't help but catch of glimpses of fall tones, with the mixture of palm trees of course!



I do love how everyone is into the Halloween/fall spirit.  A lovely co-worker gave me some festive goodies from Bath & Body Works Thank you Amanda! I've also decorated just a little bit a home which i'll be sharing once I'm done crafting up Halloween cards.  Be surprised, because I think they're not going to be owl-themed this year.  I'm feeling a little batty ;)

I already feel the busy-ness of the Holidays creeping in.  Call me crazy, I've already ordered my Holiday wrapping paper and have started my Christmas Shopping.  I'm hoping to get all my Christmas Shopping done by/before Thanksgiving.

Are you feeling goolish or in the Holiday Spirit?
