Happy Halloween!!

I'm happy and sad that today is Halloween. Sad because it flew by so quick and I had so many things I wanted to do and just didn't have time to do. Haunted houses, baking, carving pumpkins, trunk or treat, crafts and the list goes on. Everything about Halloween makes me smile. Adults have fun, kids have fun and kids who think they are to old to have fun...let that teen stubbornness go and still have fun! Do I care that a few 16 year old kids showed up at my door...absolutely not. I'd rather them be begging for candy then be out doing BAD things.

I did manage to put this hat together one night. I borrowed an old hat from my friend who was a witch a couple years ago. I tore off the purple lace that came with it, added some of orange tulle, made a bow from my dollar store ribbon and last, but not least I added a bird from the dollar store. Needless to say, this piece was pretty inexpensive and turned out rather Spooktacular I thought. Maybe next year, I'll make a full costume to go with it. 


Halloween will soon be behind us and my favorite part of the year begins... Stay tuned!

Halloween...OLD SCHOOL!

These videos all bring back a lot of memories. 
Love me some Mc Hammer and Fresh Prince!












I also loved the Munster  and Addams Family growing up as a kid. I remember having lunch at my grandmas and making sure I was on that couch at the same time every day. I couldn't forget them.



I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

I went online to see what Sears had for Christmas blow ups, I immediately fell in love with this Hippo. Who doesn't love the song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas". I love blow ups for Halloween, but they can be a pain at Christmas because you never know when they are going to be snowed in and unusable. But this one is a must have!


























Here are some fun "Hippo" Christmas videos for those of you that love the song as much as my daughter and I do. 






If you want to sing along, here's a video for you too!

Walking In A Winter Wonderland...

Today is a perfect day to share this beautiful new "Snowfall" paper line by Bo Bunny. It's absolutely beautiful and I'm sure seeing it in person will be even better with the glitter accents. 







Do you have your Candy?

Some Halloween Videos to Make you Smile!!

1st I have to start with this Ellen video. When she posted it last week, I was laughing hysterically. Can you imagine how you would handle having a "crazy" teacher like this? 




This light show video is making the rounds today, but if you've not seen it yet, take the time to check it out. It's a Christmas light show, gone Halloween.



Here's some scary Halloween music...RUNNNN!!!



I don't know how they do this, but this is my favorite. Very cool.
