get your spook on - cutest little creepy

I just ran across this adorable vinyl spider and fell in love.  Well lucky for all of us this little guy can be yours if you win the Studio JK Vinyl giveaway.  Not sure how long the giveaway lasts so head over there right now and leave a comment.  If I'm the lucky winner I plan to give him a home on the window by our stair landing.  

I also have some other Halloween ideas that use vinyl wording.  I plan on heading back over to Studio JK to see if she does any custom work. If my idea pans you'll see it in a future get your spook on post.

JUST ADDED:  I went for a longer visit over on the Studio JK site and saw that the giveaway ended today - big fat hairy spider bummer!  You should still check out the site and the cool vinyl creations she has.  

get your spook on - eye candy

I can't get pictures to copy over to my blog for today's Halloween idea so drop what you are doing and click here and go to pages 11 thru 16.  This masterpiece of a Halloween table is from Amy Atlas and it's fabulous.

I want to have a table like this set up in my front living room so that when trick or treaters look through the door this what they see - can you imagine how the kids eyes would light up?!?!  The problem I see is that we live in a world that most parents (myself included) wouldn't let our kids touch any unwrapped candy or goodies.  Maybe I can come up with something similar with packaged treats - it just wouldn't have the same impact as these gorgeous homemade morsels.

if this is what white people like then

i am so white.

Janae posted about the stuff white people like blog and I had to laugh at this post.  I have total being on time issues and yes being on time does mean being early.  And like the post points out I am guilty of earning bonus points.  I try hard not to throw disapproving looks at the late comers but come on people can you not get yourself out the door a bit earlier and arrive on time?

some party inspiration

I was doing my daily search over at Hostess with the Mostess today and saw these fantastic plates.  I am in love!  I knew immediately that I had to have them but for obvious reasons I needed to have a purpose for buying them (Hello Derek?  I fell in love with some plates today so I bought them for the heck of it.  No, I have no reason for them.  I thought I would just stick them in the cupboard and pull them out periodically to look at them and smile) The light bulb went off and now I am the proud owner of these too cute plates and Luke is having a superhero/comic book party for his birthday in September. Remember how much he loves superheroes?!?!?

I already have the general idea for the invites - similar to what I did here.   

I'm gonna hit the Internet and see what else I can find to go with our chosen birthday theme. I know for sure we'll be making some capes and other superhero accessories.  I'm wrapping presents with comic book paper.  The possibilities with this theme are endless.  If anyone has ideas that they want to share please leave a comment.

For Denise's little sis

I love the website www.stupid.com it is exactly what it's name implies...stupid stuff you can buy over the internet. You never know when you might need bacon band aids or a bacon wallet. Or how about glowing rubber ducks? It's a great place to get the white elephant gift you've been looking for.

Anyway, my sister Lauren just recently got a job at a library - she is a huge book lover. I found these librarian tattoos at stupid.com and instantly thought of my sister. So here you go Lauren...tats for your wild days at the library.
