Randomness
I have come to realize that blogging, or journaling for that matter, is easier for me when things are roses and sunshine. I know, I know, real life happens and it is okay to be sad, upset, or disappointed and I understand that sometimes if you talk about it it makes things better. I got it, really I promise, but I just don't operate like that. I am more of a think it through myself, take action, report back when things are roses and sunshine kind of girl. There are times when I appreciate sympathy but it generally annoys me.
In the last few days I have started hearing my journal calling to me. Now what I'm thinking I need to write is all disjointed and out of order but I have come to terms with that and my OCD side is prepared to deal with it too. LOL. Luckily, I collaged an entire journal while I was thinking things through and refusing to write about it and have it ready to go for such an occasion.
I realized today that my hang up was that in the past I had come to a point where I was able to photograph all of my journal pages and post them on my blog for people to see and I was torn. While I want to be able to show my journal pages I also want to keep the ideas on them private. (See, believe it or not some people actually read the words and sometimes even comment on them. LOL!) Then it hit me.... I could photograph them with no writing and still post them. After all a blog with no pictures is no fun and there are only so many times you can post that you are really art journaling again without proving it. :)

Marshmallows!

Ayesha brought me these amazing handmade marshmallows back from her trip to South Dakota. I had never had handmade marshmallows before but now I can't stop thinking about them! I got an email from Etsy the other day and low and behold people actually sell handmade marshmallows on Etsy! Now I have been trying to forget that I can buy them their and trying myself out of buying them but obviously I am not doing a very good job at it! :)

A Spooky Book
Yesterday I took my mom's class at Frenzy Stamper. It's nice to take a class and actually get a whole project done in one sitting! Here it is...






My mom is selling her extra kits on her blog so now that you are in love with this spooky book get yours while you can!
And here are the goodies I picked up While I was at Frenzy too!

This super cool ice cream parlor also moved in a few doors down from Frenzy. It is super cute old fashioned ice cream parlor and game area. It also has a cotton candy machine! I am happy to have treats so close to Frenzy! You know I love taking classes at Frenzy and desserts only make it better!

It's Getting Spooky Around Here!
I didn't get super crazy with Halloween decorations around here this year just because with Shannon's wedding and visiting Deb I feel like Halloween has been about three days long this year. I do realize that I could still add more decorations but to be honest I'm feeling a little lazy.
I do love my spooky center piece and am looking forward to showing you how it will transition into a Thanksgiving and Christmas centerpiece too!

I bought the black glittered pumpkin at Target, black and white sixletts from Hobby Lobby in the wedding section, and everything else is Gold Canyon!
Cobweb Twinkle Ties
Ivory Chimney Set
Floating Tealight Holders
Crystal Candle Stands
I love, love, love it!
Also, Have you been to Trader Joe's and met the pumpking Trees? If you said no, get in your car go directly to Trader Joe's, do not pass go, do not collect $200!

They are so stinkin' cute! Deb doesn't have a Trader Joe's so I even took some on the plane to her. The one I bought for Deb was even better than my origional one so I'm thinking that the later in the season it gets the cooler they will be!

100 Days
Quite coincidentally I decided to figure out how many days it had been since my last blog post this morning and realized it had been exactly 100 days. Weird right? (Yes, the math was really about the blog in case you are wondering.) 101 days with no blog post would just be ridiculous so here I am.
Ayesha and I just got back from visiting Deb in Texas! It's perfect how the school district worked in an October break so I can still celebrate Halloween with Deb. LOL!
We visited a pumpkin farm.

carved pumpkins, (I went old school. Mine is the far right.)

visited the Halloween Bootique,

and even had spooky dinner!

We also made Alonna a new wall mural for her room!


We had a great time & I can't wait to plan our November visit in AZ!
