Birthday Celebration

Last Saturday was my birthday and I am so blessed to have such awesome friends and family! I received lots of birthday wishes, gifts and lunches. Thank you all so much...you are the best!

Carolyn turns ???

My family took me out to eat at Babe's and presented me with a mani/pedi and scrapbooking retreat.

.

I love Halloween and Shelby made this cute frame using the

 Halloween Banner kit. This goes well with all my spooky decor.

Lori gave me a vintage Hershey's ornament that has a 

dark chocolate miniature...my favorite!

And Mary, my BFF, gave me this super cute sock monkey...

every time I look at him, he makes me smile!

Hope you enjoy...thanks for stopping by!

It's Sunday Already!

I love decorating for Halloween and Christmas. I thought you might enjoy some pictures of my house before the Halloween Stamp Club.

I've been collecting Halloween cookies jars for a couple of years. I hide all the Halloween candy in them so it doesn't get eaten before the trick or treaters come by:o).

The mice going up the stairs are just creepy. 

Great find at the Dollar Tree!

  It just isn't Halloween without skulls and spiders.

 

Hope you enjoy...thanks for stopping by!
