Halloween Fun :: Traditions

Since I am delayed in getting my newest project up {hopefully up tonight} I thought I would show you a few pics from the past weekend!

Super Hero {in Disguise}, Mad Scientist, Lil Black Kitty Cat, Mama Cat

Aren't they just the cutest things ever!?

 We always walk around our local Historic town before hitting the neighborhood. We start with the free drinks!!! then move to the yummy coffee...

 I loved how she looked running back to us after every house! {bad pic, but you get the idea}

She was so thrilled she got to wear black kitty nails!

There was a house this year that offered "grown-up" treats, can we say "warm yummy schnapps!" I wasn't cold after that :)

The night was so wonderful and we had a blast! 

I have the best family in the whole world!

Yes, it's true. Hate to break it to ya.

We were truly Blessed with an amazing evening and I am so thankful for the wonderful memories/traditions we've created for our children to carry on to their families!

Halloween Countdown Project

Because of a certain conference {not naming any names here}, I was delayed in this post.

I had this super cute idea, and I actually implemented it! Amazing, I know. 

I had a few $ mailboxes from Tarjay left over and thought it would be really cute to make them into Halloween countdown treat holders!

 This is the front. One for each of my kiddos. {btw, felt very maternally inadequate after said conference, like I don't have enough children. :) One woman I met has 8 boys! and 3 girls!}

Side profile. When the flag is up, they have received a special delivery

For my science boy

And my whimsical kitty girl

 The back view

Special delivery!

I wanted to find all of the neat Halloween candy to fill these up with, like wax lips, gummy eyeballs, zombie finger-pops, pirate gold (bubble-gum), etc...

They love them, and ask me every morning, "When is our special delivery arriving!?"

After Halloween I have another idea for them! I reveal that 11/1. But, just in case you want to join me in this project...you'll want to get yourself some of these, or other type of container you can embellish.

Some Fall Goodies and a Tutorial

Two things I've worked on this week:

I am loving this Fall wall art. I couldn't decide if I wanted to add the word 'Harvest', 'Faith', or 'Give Thanks'. So I listed it in my shop with the buyers option.

The other items was this Candy Corn inspired wreath:

My kiddos were asking for something "Halloween-y", and I don't really have much in the way of Halloween decor. So I quickly came up with this this morning.

Want to know how to make one? It's super easy and {at most} will cost you less than $3

Supplies needed:

Dollar Store foam wreath

White crepe paper streamer

Orange crepe paper streamer

Glue

Wrap the wreath form in desired color.

Once that's done, cut several strips of each color crepe paper. About 4-5" long.

I alternated my colors, but you could put them however you like. I started with my top and then did the sides.

I decided to leave the center empty as it was just easier and my guys were begging me to hang it up "right now". I'll probably add more to it/change it completely. But it's super cute and works for them.

Just FYI, I completed this this morning in less than an hour...

Have you started you Halloween decorating yet? 

Is it too soon? 

When do you normally start?
