This is one reason why I love my mom

Halloween Notepad

My mom, my one sister and I all have a common sickness: Home Goods. Not one of us can walk out of there without a purchase. I’ve even bought more when I had to return something.

And just like me and a good pocketbook, my mom can’t resist passing one by. Good thing for me! She picked me up this adorable list pad and sticky note (and pen!) set. Woo Hoo.

Of course this only fuels my wanna-put-out-my-fall-decorations urge.

Speaking of which, I’ve decided to have a Halloween soirée. I’m tired of loving my fall and Halloween decorations every year and not having anyone to show them to. So, I’m going to have a small fall/Halloween dinner, family of course, just to show off what I’ve got.

The new All You magazine had a great little section on a vampire dinner. I’m not going to be going all out with that, but the pot roast recipe they show and the salad look delicious. And I’m going to use pumpkin pie molds to make mini pumpkin pies. Which wouldn’t be complete without apple cider (although I have a nice pumpkin spice coffee I’m dying to try as well!).

I do have to start thinking about my Halloween cards and the kiddo’s costume. I have a ton of Halloween digiscrap kits so I should be good on the card front. But I am not sure at all what the kiddo will be this year. Probably something Star Wars, as we seem to alternate between jedis and siths.

Only 4 more days!

Spider Cupcake Holder

Not until school… but until September 1st—the day I put my summer stuff away and pull my fall stuff out. Of course, I’m jumping the gun a bit with Halloween stuff, I can’t help it. I went to Home Goods and bought some new stuff {not that I needed it}. Then, at the boardwalk last night, my mom bought the above adorable cupcake holder. The top comes off and you can put stuff in it. LOVE it! I’m keeping it out; no sense in putting it away only to be taken out in a couple more weeks. Right?

School starts in 10 days

Ten days. Just 10. More. Days. Woo hoo! I’ll miss him like crazy, but… I will get my peace and quiet back. And, I’m taking on online class for using the pen tool in Photoshop. I may just learn how to use that confounded option. And maybe even finally use the tablet I have! ;)
