Halloween Recap
It was crazy on Halloween. Jovan decided that he would draw on his wall while I was taking Ariana’s pictures. Ugh, we almost did not go trick or treating. He only went to about 12 houses, the excitement of eating the candy was too much for him, lol. We came home around 7:30ish. There were no trick or treaters on our street, so no one came looking for candy.
Ariana enjoyed a nice walk. She was all game, she started getting fussy. We stayed close to home so the drive home was not bad at all.

We will be watching Michael Jackson’s “This is It” tonight. I am super excited. I knew that I wanted to watch the movie as soon as I saw the first preview. The more previews that I see on TV the more I know it’s going to be a cool movie. I have always enjoyed his music and his performance style, so I am positive it is going to be great. I am kind of worried that we will be home really late, the movie starts at 9pm. We have so much that we have to do. Have I mentioned that I have not gotten the kids Halloween costumes, lol.
I am terrible, every year we always wait until the last minute. I know the boy wants to be some kind of Star Wars guy and we will be making the girl a little black kitty. I made a black tutu for her a while back, I can make her a black headband with little ears and call it a day. She does not walk yet, so I will make her a removable tail. It’s going to be so cute.
I was thinking of having a Halloween party at the house, but it is a complete mess. We got the new couches but we have not really decorated. I need to fill two frames with 5 x 5 prints. I have not really looked for a picture printer to do that. I am hoping to have everything in order by Thanksgiving, because I would love to have a small get together. Christmas will be at our house this year and I am also having new years at my house too. I hate having to go somewhere else. I went to Ikea and I saw the cutest Christmas décor, I am in love. I think the colors will be gold and burgundy. That will look so nice with our color scheme.
I better get to work, I have a ton of bills stacked up.
Crafty
I have been in such a mood lately. I have had some bad headaches this past week. I am also feeling crafty. Eric does not like it when I feel crafty because I need supplies, I need ribbon, rhinestones, tulle and lots of pretty things. I recently went on a supply run for ribbon for my x-mas headbands that I posted yesterday. I also picked up some crochet headbands. I love all of the colors except for the salmon one, ew. I have several projects that I will be working on this week.
I am going to be preparing for a craft show that I have coming up. I also have to take pictures of my products for the shop and for a craft fair that I want to get into. I am glad that the screen the entries because a lot of times at a craft fair, people just buy stuff from overseas and claim that they made it. That is my biggest pet peeve. They could at the very least is attempt to change it or make it look better! Rant over, lol.
I guess the longest task is to take pictures, I like to take nice pictures for my shop (in the past they have been kind of tacky). I found the perfect spot to get great lighting without the flash in the corner of my living room. I am so happy that I have finally found the “secret” to great pictures. I think that is what makes people “click” and decide if they will browse the shop or not.
We spent Saturday shopping for supplies, I was supposed to work on the headbands and bows on Sunday but I did not get a chance to. My mom and brother came over and we cooked fish and shrimp. Yummy. We got so full, after dinner we had Coldstone ice cream. Eric and I shared an Oreo overload, man it was so chocolaty. Later on in the day we just lounged around. I waited for the new family guy to come on, but it didn’t because of the game bleh! After a while I got bored and went to the room to lay down. I was so tired I started getting a really bad headache. I took some Tylenol and fell asleep.

LOL, I am so proud of myself. I am making a few of these christmas themes.
Baby Stuff and Home Stuff
The last two weeks have been an absolute blur. I attended my best friends baby shower, it was so much fun. She got everything she needed. I am so happy. I went to her place today to check out the baby’s nursery. It was absolutely adorable.
We pretty much have been working on organizing our house. I have come to realize that we will be living here longer that I originally thought, so we are going to be fixing the place up. We are looking to make it both functionally and cosmetically correct. In the state the house is in now, its unrealistic to have house guests over with out blushing at least once or twice. We are looking to buy a new living room set.
I love this sectional from Easy Life furniture. It says that you can arrange the love seat to which ever side, so I am assuming that the couch has both arms, that would be so nice for when we want to separate the sectional into individual pieces. I think that would come in handy for when we have a family gathering. I would like to add an arm chair to make more seating. Our living room has such an awkward shape we need more furniture to tie the space together. I think this chair from Ikea would be great, but the price is steep at 200 bucks.
I think it would all look so perfect with this rug. Gahhh all the choices. I am going to make endless combos in my head until I buy them. Then I will forget all the great ideas that I had.
I am headed off to bed before I stay up any later.
