We saw our very special friend who is carrying her first child...a sweet little girl...can't wait to meet her!!!! The birthday celebration was great because Mandy got exactly what she asked for!!!! She had a great day and that's what it's all about...coming next.... CHRISTMAS...

Hey

Hey how are you guys? I haven't updated because I figure who is really reading this but ME!!!! But instead of giving up and losing hope, I decided I will keep updating even if it's just a couple of people that actually read this!!!!

Farm was great. Halloween was awesome. The girls dressed up, niece & nephews came over to trick-o-treat. We had a lot of fun. We also did some crafts and had a little too much candy!!

Now we're onto November, I still haven't done any November decor. I don't really have much - I had tons of Halloween decor. But I have to come up with something to decorate my fantle!!!! Let's see what I can come up with!!! Will keep you posted.

Until next time!!!!

Friday!

Sooo glad it's Friday. Tomorrow we will be going to a Fall Festival in this farm that we go to every fall. I'm looking forward to it.

Still trying to finish up the rest of my fall decor.

Autumn is a fancy way of saying Fall...

Hey everyone!!!!

I just wanted to share with you all some of my fall/halloween decor!!!

Starting with my Fantle. It's a little plain, I want to add a little bit to it...perhaps some branches to give it more height...I will see what I come up with...but here goes...

A close up of the bloody finger....the nail lights up! I know super creepy. My lil' one doesn't really like that at all

next up, my pumpkin - fall you just have to do pumpkins and a couple of bugs here and there
Isn't this witch the cutest? She isn't scary at all!!! She was given to me last year - she used to be at my desk at work, now she'll have a place in my home!

Love this pumpkin!!!! It's all over bloggie world and I just had to do it.

Dining room table fall set up

And just because - here are the shelves in my bathroom!!!! I love having shelves and being able to change the room my just using a splash of color!!!!!

I'm glad you stopped by to see some of my fall decor. I have to go outside (after the huge storm is over) and take some pics of my window display. It's really cute - not too scary - remember I have a lil' one that doesn't really do 'scary' - I still have to take out some other decor that belongs outside but the rain is holding me up!!!!

I would love to see how you decorate for the fall.

Until next time xoxo

S-O-P {Part 2}

The girls made their own pizza...

This was fun and can I say they were quite impressed with this activity

Our pink lemonade filled with sweet, sliced strawberrys. I will tell you what happened to my beloved beverage dispenser in another post. I just can't talk about it yet, not happy!!!

My sugar cookies aren't they pretty?

I have to do it over !!!

FALL DECOR POST TO COME.

S-O-P {Part 1}

The much anticipated S-O-P was this past Saturday. It was like sooooo much fun!!!! Really I had a blast...kind of took me back from when I was a kid...

Here is the birthday girl - all decked out in her pjs and sleep mask {btw all her friends got to write on her pjs} *huge hit*

Here is my inspiration. I got this lovely beauty @ a yard sale! Now she's all decked out with a poof ball....she's usually up in my bedroom where she wears all my jewelry!
Sleeping quarters: I gave the girls enough space to hang out

The cupcake for the sleep over. It did NOT turn out the way I hoped it but I think it's pretty cute!

Craft Table for the girls. Plus a Decade of Birthdays collage. Some dress forms for the girls to get creative with stylin' their dress forms and sleeping masks for each girl. Plus mirrors cuz you know you HAVE to have make-overs @ sleepovers!

Table for the girls to have their pizza & cupcakes!!! Oh yeah - the girls made their very OWN pizza. Can I tell you that this was the COOLEST thing ever. The girls enjoyed it and I LOVED it!!! Pizza was DELISH - oh and yeah there was ice cream...like make-your-own sundae !!!

Here is what some describe a Fantle {fake mantle} so my Fantle was all decked out for the Birthday Girl!!!!

Oh the B-I-G 10 - a decade of LOVE. I stacked my platters to give it height and to give those YUMMY sugar cookies some style.

This is the table set up for the next day - where the family came over to sing happy bday and give out their gifts. Check out the sundae bar...woo hoo!!!! ice cream, cake, cupcakes and cookies....I mean can anyone ask for more???

The cake {next day} I made this cake - with help - of course!!! Oh can I just say I think I did a pretty awesome job for it being my 2nd time working with fondant!

Happy 10th Birthday my big girl. I love you so much!!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Tomorrow I will have more pics to share! Have a Happy Monday!
