Well today I have to share with you some pictures of the most beautiful little girl in the world. Seriously, my heart swells with love when I look at her.  Or think about her. But I have to admit, that even … [Read more...]

I already posted the Halloween party preview, but I wanted to follow up and show the actual party pictures.  They aren't quite as pretty because I was rushed (guests were arriving as I took these!) and the lighting was terrible so I had the flash on.  I hate using the flash and try to avoid it at all costs!

So when I was making my Salt Dough Leaves, we also went ahead and made some cute Halloween characters. And then I glittered them and strung some baker's twine through them to make a simple halloween salt dough garland. I'm having a halloween party this year and so I've literally been decorating for halloween for over a month.  Insane?  Maybe. Above it I hung a Spooky Halloween Banner that says "Beware" made from book pages. Simple to … [Read more...]
