Happy October 23rd Halloween!

So, after spending all day at the RELAY Summit, I then came home and got ready for a costume party at the Santo's. It was a busy Saturday.

Eric Dressed up as Guy Fieri...

Striking resemblance... huh? lol.

I dressed up as a Jelly Fish...

Which was probably my favorite costume ever! It was fun!

Katherine was a Squirrel Ballerina... Don't ask.

The Santo family dressed up as "Alice in Wonderland". I never got a picture of John or Nate, but they were Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb

This is Julia... she was Alice, who killed the white rabbit who took her down the hole. Twisted.

And Kerri was the Chesire Cat!

Amanda was the Mad Hatter (tress)... but Eric had her Hat on in this picture!

We left around 12... I was super tired and ready for bed. The party was a blast as always, and John really out did himself with the Haunted house this year! Can't wait till next year!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
