Hey Halloween!

Can you believe we are halfway through August already? I am shocked at how fast the summer has flown! Which only means that fall is on its way and I can't wait!

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the smell of the air, the cool, mosquito-free nights and the excitement that builds with anticipation of upcoming holidays. Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays - my sister and I are both Halloween freaks - and I've gradually added to my Halloween home decor to the point that I now have a "Halloween decorations" box that sits right beside the Christmas stuff.

While checking out the Halloween goodies at Michael's yesterday (yes, it's already out) I came across Martha's (you know who I'm talking about) 2008 Halloween collection and picked up some great items. I've decided to add to my growing box of Halloween decor by putting together a themed Halloween mantle this year. I'm even contemplating a party, but still undecided on that one. Here are a couple of great finds from Martha - she's a Halloween freak like me too. These can all be found online at MarthaStewartcrafts.com.

And just because everyone needs a "drippy goo edge punch"...

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
