Halloween

Pirates! The only year I've been able to get Ramesh to join in the fun (4+ years ago!)

 Happy Halloween! This is one of my favorite holidays. Those who know me, know I love to "dress up". My friends and I attend so many theme parties, I have some acquaintances that don't know what I look like day to day, as they have only seen me at these events. In honor of the holiday that encourages dress up, I thought I would share some of my best costumes over the years. Hope you enjoy and have a fun night!

Happy November

Sorry about the lack of posts this past week, life got a bit crazy - my besties flew in from CA to visit for Halloween, so I was playing tour guide and having more fun than I should! We hosted a Halloween party and they dressed appropriately as Flight Attendants:

It was a whirlwind weekend, jam packed with activities - including a trip to the Mall of America- shopping anyone? I must say it was a successful trip, I usually avoid going there, a bit too touristy for me, but I scored the perfect pair of dark, high waisted, flared jeans (I'm a bit done with skinnies at the moment) and my GF found two pairs of boots.  All in all a great trip. Hope you all had a great Halloween!

Halloween Card

Today is the last day of summer, and that means Halloween is just around the corner.  Halloween is my all time FAVORITE holiday. A while back I stumbled upon Papertrey Ink (www.papertreyink.com). I fell in love with the stamps and paper they make as well as the fact that they do a release party every month on the 15th with new stamps, dies, tools and paper. Such a cool idea!!  


To get you inspired for fall (and Halloween!), here is a card I made from their August release set called friendship jar fall fillers.
