Spooky!
I'll admit I've had a hard time getting into the Halloween spirit this year. I don't know if it has to do with the unseasonably warm weather we've experienced recently or just the busy pace of life lately, but we've finally started to get into the swing of things. We decorated our house, went pumpkin picking, and I even got dressed up for the Halloween crafternoon! I'll post those latter two later this week. Here's a look at some of our fall decor!

Creepy Videos
Halloween is just a few days away, so I thought I'd post some videos
that I think are definitely appropriate for this holiday. I hope everyone is managing to stay safe and dry in the midst of Frankenstorm and that the power stays on, so you can enjoy some music!
Monster Hospital by Metric
No One Believes Me by Kid Cudi
Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin
Sheena Was A Parasite by The Horrors
Wolf Like Me by TV On The Radio
Sweet Transvestite from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
It's not that this video is scary, but I love this movie and I think it qualifies as a Halloween movie, right?

Trick or Treat
Tonight is our town's trick or treat. I'm not sure why they have it the Thursday before Halloween, but that's when it always happens. The boys have the cutest costumes, thanks to the queen of yard sales, my step-mom. Oscar will be Dumbo and Ben will be Mickey Mouse. We've had a busy week, so the boys haven't actually tried the costumes on yet, so here's hoping they both fit! I thought today would be a good time to share a few of our Halloween decorations. The first picture is the detail of a quilt that my super talented grandma made. She was nice enough to loan it to me to hang in my library. I hope everyone gets some yummy treats for Halloween! We will walk the boys to a few of the surrounding houses and then come home to hand out candy. I love seeing everyone's costumes and, just in case you live in the area, really cute or creative costumes get more candy from me!

Inspired By Nature - Bats
I thought bats would be fitting for this edition of inspired by nature, since they sort of go along with Halloween. My husband has a thing for bats and I agree that they are pretty cute, but he's gone as far as wanting to bring one home as a pet. That idea got squashed pretty quickly, by the way. I don't think a bat would make a good pet at all!

October's Crafternoon
This month's crafternoon was so much fun, as always! I was pretty overwhelmed by all of the great supplies we had to choose from. Heidi really outdid herself, but then again, she pretty much always does! I think I may actually make some more little Halloween decorations on my own, now that I've had a taste, and I think Oscar would have fun making little pipe cleaner ornaments. Besides the amazing craft supplies, there was the yummiest selection of food, and a really fun gift exchange. Heidi and Jessee have much better pictures and more details from the get together, so check them out too!
Lindsey and I had the same idea this month and made little goody bags. How cute is her owl bag?!
I wish I had gotten a better picture of Heidi's amazing centerpiece. It was so pretty! This is just a small selection of the delicious food! Everything was so yummy, but those little red coconut covered cake balls were my favorite.
This is my awesome gift from our exchange. It's a Dia de los Muertos travel kit from Jillian, with candles, matches, buttons, key chains, and little flowers. It goes perfectly with the little shrine I have in my craft room!
Here are my little Halloween guys and gal (clearly the orange gourd is female). I had so much fun making them!

Happy Saturday!
Hello there! I am off to the October crafternoon today. Each month, Heidi is sweet enough to host an amazing get together at her house. We make a fun craft and eat delicious food. What's not to love? Not to mention, there's a really great group of people who attend. I really look forward to seeing everyone each month! I'm super excited about this month's craft, little spun cotton Halloween decorations/dolls, and will post pictures later. I like to make something yummy to bring along, but this month I decided to bring some little bags of goodies. I found adorable vintage treat bags at the Salvation Army today for 35 cents and have filled them with candy and silly Halloween toys. We're doing a gift exchange too and I really like what I found to bring, but don't want to ruin the surprise, so I'll include that in a later post. You can find posts about previous crafternoons here on Heidi's blog. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
