Trick or Treat and all that relish...

I looove Halloween.

It is one of my favorite holidays, second only to Christmas.  I celebrate it big every year! I never miss the chance to dress up!! I trick or treated until I was 19!! ...um, *clears throat*, got a little excited there, did I just say that out loud? Well anyway... when ZeeBee was born I couldn't wait to get her all cute for Halloween. Her first year, my mom picked out her costume. I had an identical costume to it a few years back, so she figured it'd be cute ...and it was pretty darn cute!

Avid Tigger collector, here.

The next year, ZeeBee was talking a bit and her favorite word was "puppy". She used it in every gibberish ridden sentence she said and so it was only appropriate...

Unfortunately, this is one of the only pictures I have. I had taken a lot of pictures of her in her costume along with pictures of she, Mr. Moon, and I carving pumpkins together but somehow when I went to look at the pictures, they were all erased. I chalked it up to the ghost in my camera due to me taking pictures in a graveyard the week before 0_o ...but I cried over that little loss. 

Last year, my girl was old enough to pic out her own costume and did she do a good job or what?!

...and now this year, all she kept saying is, "I wanna be a butterfly!" so she's a butterfly :)

Sorry for the crappy camera pic. My Canon is on the brink. Shutter issues. 

To add to the fun, today is picture day at school! We have lots of regular pics (since they take pics twice a year) so now she's going to have one all dressed up like a beautiful butterfly. She wasn't all that excited about the idea of school today, dressed up or not, she just kept saying, "I wanna go Trick or Treating." 

Tonight, baby girl, tonight.

Desktop Halloween

I decided to go very traditional with my decor for my desk since most of my own home decor was very non-traditional.  I put a couple of
projects together to come up with this simple little festive design.  I purchased the skull and the two pumpkins from the $1 store. I sprayed the skull and flatter pumpkin with metallic copper spray paint and and sprayed the taller pumpkin black. I then repainted the taller pumpkin with purple glitter paint. The candlestick idea came from a tutorial I found on Pinterest from I Heart Naptime. I bought three $1 store candlesticks, glued two of them together and spray painted them black. The other one, I sprayed black and topped it with a $1 store glass container and a black candle.

I downloaded this printable online at Craftily-Ever-After and then added a $1 store blackbird.

For my "EEK", I was inspired by this tutorial by Snowflakes and Dragonflies.  I made a mini version and it was my first time giving mod podge a try. My edges werent as straight as I wouldve liked but overall I think they came out pretty ok!

I had so much fun putting together this Halloween decor and I hope you enjoyed sharing it with me!

This is where I party.

I had to share this cute little pumpkin wreath because it reminds of a fluffy little dance tutu. Too cute!

{Mel Designs}

~He he!! SO creative. Loving this Frankendoor.

{The 36th Avenue}

This darling wreath has all the feel of an Edgar Allen Poe tale. Being a Poe fan myself, I am seriously loving this wreath!! It somehow embodies all of the emotion of a Poe tale while still being perfectly lovely!
