You only have to look at my craft stash to see where my holiday love lies. I've got personalized Halloween stationary, post-it notes, countless rubber and acrylic stamps depicting various aspects of the holiday, skeleton candy sprinkles, Halloween cupcake liners, candy molds, treat bags, scrapbook paper, ribbons, stickers, vellum and chipboard shapes, cookie cutters, cake pans, and paper punches. Now, I can add Halloween stencils to the list.
Now it's easy to use powdered sugar or cocoa to decorate holiday pies. Way to go, Martha!
Unfortunately, this year all of my holiday paraphernalia is packed away in moving boxes...much like the rest of the house. Empty bookcases...
...empty cabinets...empty shelves. Hopefully we'll be closing on our new house one month from now! And, while I can't enjoy my own Halloween goodies, I can at least try to appreciate what's around me...like this spooky neighborhood cat with positively glowing green eyes. A perfect Halloween cat, you might say!
Meanwhile, I've been getting into the fall spirit around here with my usual seasonal bouquets.
I love spider mums, and they seem to last so much longer than 'regular' mums. I've also been buying lilies. I didn't use to like the smell...but it's been growing on me.
I just haven't had time to get outside with my camera, but I couldn't help but notice this small butterfly perched on our back screen door.
He only perched for a moment before taking off again.
That's like my blog entry today, too...a brief perch, and now back to packing!
Have a great week!
