• Halloween Sticks
  One of the things I love about decorating for Halloween is that there are so many great items that you can use that are super inexpensive.  Pumpkins, candy corn, even stick. Yes, I said sticks.  Dead, black sticks/ Just A Girl put some in a jar and added a crow: It's The Little Things That Make A House A Home tucked some away in a vase of candy corn:    […]
• Witch Legs Dish Towels
  I love how Flamingo Toes turned a regular dish towel into the cutest set of witch legs ever: You can see her tutorial over at Someday Crafts.  I think I need a couple of these.  Purple, Orange, and Green.  […]

Either way, I hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day!! […]

• Hot Air Balloon Party
  You know when Amy Atlas features a party that it has to be fabulous and this party from Sweets Indeed is just that: The meringue clouds would work really well with a lot of different party themes, especially the rainbow parties that are so popular right now: Here is a different take on the cake banner.  Not pennants, but still really cute: And my favorite tr […]
• Fall Fun from Show and Tell
  Here are some of my favorites from Show and Tell Saturday that will last a little longer than the 31st of October.
