Merry Halloween To Me!

Wow. I am so excited today. After I did my chores I decided to go out and just "look" and see if I could find something cool I couldn't live without. And geuss what? I DID!

First I went in this Halloween Bootique. I thought it was going to have all kinds of cute Halloween decorations and maybe some costumes, etc...Nope-skanky Halloween outfits. Well, no thank you--I don't think that's going to work out for the ward trunk-or-treat. So I go next door and there IT is. A quite large Apothecary Jar...it gets better...for $12 bucks!!! WHAT? Okay, MUST HAVE. Well then I start feeling guilty because then i'm going to have to buy some sort of thing to put in it and that's going to cost, but then I had a cheap idea and voila-here she is:

It's okay you can hate me.

I'm already imagining all the things that I can put in there. She will be a seasonal decoration...

So then I was feeling so good about myself I ate the last 2 cookies:

I feel accomplished.

Oh, and I wanted to show you my updated door mistreatment. It looks 10 times better if I do say so myslef.

Recent Happenings...

Today my Grandma helped me make some yummy Peach Jam!! We ended up with over 20 cups of it (the picture doesn't show all of it obviously)...but at least we won't be buying jam anytime soon! One other cool thing, Ball the company that makes the glass jars now makes these cute little plastic ones with different color lids...maybe you have already seen them...I just think they are cute.

Afterwards I had to have some toast!





One of my favorite blogs is Nester. She always has easy ideas for decorating and so I took a hint from her and mistreated my bathroom window. Here is the before: And then after:And then after I hung my clearance hand towels:It still isn't perfect, but hey, it's better than it was before! (Also it only cost 3 bucks to do!)


Well that all turned out okay and so then I mistreated my door because we needed a little more privacy. (Sorry no before pictures)I really liked the fabric and I got a pretty good deal on it so this is it's new home for now. I would really like to get some ribbon and make some little runners to go down the mistreatment, but i haven't gotten that far yet. The best part is that I could take it down and cut it up and make some pillows out of it or something... Anyways, it's not perfect at all, but at least we have some more privacy and it's covered with something cute.
