Falling into the Seasons: Halloween recap and a new Wreath!

Halloween has come and gone. (Luckily without the usual snow!) Don't worry though we have made it through fall and it is now the beginning of winter. We had our first big snowfall last night. The temperatures have dramatically shifted and there is NO questions to what's on it's way.

Halloween was a blast. We carved pumpkins the Saturday before with some great friends. We spent the first part of Halloween with our cousins and Shan and Todd. I love being around little ones at Halloween, there is just something so fun about it! We took the kids trick-or-treating. I ended up being a cowgirl but Brandon stole the show with his "Dale" costume. Dale is my dad and Brandon's hero! I wish I had a picture but I don't :( just take my word for it.. it was AWESOME!

Along with my schoolwork (which is piling on as we near the end of the semester!) I have been working on a new wreath for my sister's good friend Danika. She wanted a fall wreath and this is what I came up with:

Tis the season to be thankful. I'm so thankful for all of my family and friends. I never could have made it to where I am without their support. I love each and everyone of you!

bubble, bubble, toil and trouble!

I don't know about you but I LOVE Halloween. I don't know what it is but there is just something so fun and magical about this time of year. Stories of ghosts and goblins, witches riding broomsticks and
jack-o-lantens lighting up the night. I LOVE seeing all of the trick-or-treaters, the little costumes are fabulous.
Another favorite is decorating. I love getting out the decoration boxes and pulling our piece after piece telling stories and reliving memories. Now that we are on our own, as a new family we don't have many decorations but like our marriage, we're starting small and will get grander =].
This year we only have a few pieces, I got the cutest halloween blocks in a giveaway and they are sitting on our tv stand.
I made us a halloween wreath and I love it SO much! it was really easy AND cheap (my two favorite things when it comes to crafts).

Here is mine! It's made of black tulle and the letters are mog pogged and say EEK (if thats a word!) and the button is sewed on!

And this beauty is my sisters. We are both on pintrest and had seen a black tulle wreath on there (thats where my inspiration came from!) and once I did mine and she saw it she had to have one too. Her's is the same as mine but her letters are BOO instead. They both are SO cute! Can't wait to see what she thinks of it.
