Swim Swim


So much going on in this little head of mine. So much going on and coming up! Lets see, where to begin...I am finishing up the (awesome) invites for my parents Annual Lake Powell trip, I need to rebuild a website for PG Players, Cole's Birthday party is Friday and I have a Thrillionaires show on Saturday night (a John Hughes Tribute show). And that's just this weekend...

But lets not talk about that! Lets talk about the fact that it's almost Fall and I'm so, so very excited. It's my favorite season, after all. Lets talk about the fact that Halloween ideas are also swimming around in my head - ideas for our party invitations, decorating, costumes, food. I went into Michaels yesterday to pick up some things for the Powell invites and happened upon Martha Stewart's Halloween collection. It was great. All of it. Great. I immediately called my sister (because good Halloween decor demands it) and gushed about all the gloriousness thereof. I picked up a few choice pieces and exercised restraint on others.

I probably could have made my own small treat boxes, but who has the time for that? Not me, not right now. Purchase!

Along with the excitement of Halloween comes the anticipation of all the Fallidays. We are hosting Thanksgiving this year in what I hope will be a new kitchen. Turkey, apple pie, naps...all good things. Then Christmas! I am already dreaming of snow and Christmas music and using our woodburning stove. Eeee!

It's no wonder my head is swimming, I have this problem with anticipation. I get so excited! Something I'm super excited about? These.

I just bought these from my friends' business, Black Honey Vintage. Could you die?? How rad are these? Well yes, they need to be recovered. Amelia and Chelsey score vintage and retro finds, spruce them up and sell them for a smashing deal - check them out! www.blackhoneyvintage.com. I have been looking for a furniture upholstery class I could take...with no luck. Anyone have any info for me?

I better get back to my crowded mind pool, more random thoughts to come - just you wait.

I totally know what you mean!!! Fall is in the air my friend! Except for today...today is blasted HOT! But anyhoo, I love love Halloween, Christmas, New Years, Grandparents Day, Hanukkah, Doughnut Day, ect.!

I love your finds. "All Hail, Martha products!" Last year we decorated sprakling grape juice bottles with similar labels and fun ribbons, for our RS Super Sat.. We painted the lids with purple, orange, green etc. paint, and also put polka dots on them. Soooo flippin' cute! You can also do them for Christmas gifts! Or Christmas. Or Hanukkah(I guess)!

See! You got me going! And I think I need to type some more of these "!!!!" in my comment!
