I’m finally getting our annual Halloween party up. I’ve been so busy this past year, hence the absence on this blog so I meant to do just something small for our families. As usual it just snowballed into a huge thing because I have no self control. These are the invitations we sent out.
After a month of begging my computer not to give up the ghost I accepted my fate and got a new computer so I can start posting again! And what a busy year of events it’s shaping up to being. I’ve got the regular holidays and Brielle’s birthday but this year I’m throwing 2 bridal showers for some very special women! I’ll be drowning in love and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Speaking of love, I have a quick tutorial for a Valentine’s Day craft! It’s so simple and can be done pretty cheap, especially compared to what I’d buy one for. You’ll need a wooden dowel, a flower pot, floral foam, wood stain, moss, a Styrofoam ball (I used the bigger size so it’d balance the flower pot), and some silk roses or your preferred flower. 
The cashier asked if I was a germaphobe when I checked out at the store with my haul of dish soaps and dish towels. Haha, no they’re all for the gift we’re giving out to our neighbors this year. If you’re looking for last minute gift ideas this one ticks off all the boxes. I got the taller bottles of dish soap because I liked how it gave more support to the card but the shorter bottles do work.
I love when people do decor tour of their homes, especially during Christmas. It’s so cool seeing how different they all are and I’m always getting ideas for my own home. I thought it’d be fun to do one of my own home! These are the centerpieces for our dining table. Candlelight in the colder months makes everything more cozy. This is also our first living wreath. Besides having to spray it every day it’s kinda making me want to venture into a real tree! The smell is amazing! If you have a real tree…do the needles get everywhere in your carpet?
