Starting my Thanksgiving Lists!

Since I am kinda giving up on October and any new Halloween stuff this year, I am ready to start checking out some cute treats I can make for Thanksgiving!

Of course the first place I checked was Pinterest!

I posted some last year too, might have to try some of those too!

Here are a few I am trying to decide between!

October has been a blurrr!!

I cannot believe it's the 22nd already! The Hubby and I took a vaca and were gone until the other day. I haven't finished any of the Halloween costumes. I haven't made any Halloween crafts this year, we haven't been to the pumpkin patch yet and there are a ton of other things October usually holds for us we haven't done yet. I NEED A DO OVER!

I did have a good time on vacation but feel SO behind now! I think I am going to have to call October a wash and get a head start on November instead!

My Pinterest home page already has a few Thanksgiving ideas!

So I am taking the rest of this weekend to catch up on laundry, grocery shop and prepare snacks for this week. I will be alone this week with Hubby out of town so I need to prep as much as I can!

Monday for sure will have some Thanksgiving cuteness!

Halloween Decorations '11

Finally done! Well done enough to share anyway, there are still a few projects I need to work on, and then of course whatever all you crafty people share that I will want to copy!

Soo here they are, I got rid of a lot of stuff from last year. I wanted to lose a little of the commercial looking stuff each year. And a lot of orange had to go. I really like black and white Halloween with just a little orange here and there.

 Countdown Blocks from last year

already staying better this year, used poster putty stuff

need to find my white candles around here somewhere

This thing seriously grosses me out, its a big ol' silver spider, I hate spiders!

Hoping everything on this table will make it through the season, it is the perfect worst height for Finn!

I'm really loving the old phone, crack and all!

oh, and a random picture of our new couch, and the vacuum in the background lol, eh just keeping it real

 Best deal on a pennant banner ever! Target last year, the other side has neon (hideous) skulls on it, I just turned it over. I also scored 2 or 3 more for 90% off. $0.30!! couldn't pass that up!

love this little pewter mouse!

Fall Cleaning Progress

I've been fall cleaning like crazy all week. I didn't finish like I wanted to, the baby (he is 2 now, but is still the baby ) has Pneumonia, but today he is super chipper and feeling better so I am hoping to get the Halloween stuff out and get some help from hubby to finish up the fall cleaning!

And here are some pics of our cabinets, before and after! (let's see how how long we can keep em that way)
