This last weekend we went to my cute nephew's 1st birthday party. He was lucky enough to be born in Oct. and so it was a Halloween themed party. My brother-in-law works in a restaurant and brought home a bunch of empty wine bottles, which were washed and filled with differnet colored fruit punch. My mother-in-law then bought these fun Martha Stewart Halloween Beverage Labels at Michaels and put them on the front.

I found a bunch of really neat Halloween DIY projects here at do it yourself and even though Halloween is coming to an end, you can always recycle Halloween projects/ideas for the coming years.

I love this wreath from delia creates via eighteen25 .

This is the ivy "forest" in our front yard. I was shocked the first time I noticed that the ivy was changing color. ? I am still befuddled by it. Growing up in the Bay Area California we didn't really experience Fall like you do here in Utah. Where I grew up, there was mostly evergreens so even though I have been here in Utah for over 10 years I am still awe struck by Fall here.

These are free printables for cupcake toppers. Just go here to No Fuss Fabulous to download them.

I love decorating for Halloween...and I love the black and white with a pop of orange or purple for color. I have been decorating our house, inside and out as I find the time this last week or two.

...and I am sooo excited. I hate to admit it, but I think I like Halloween just as much if not more than Christmas.

I bought these images yesterday on etsy at Land of Enchantment. I am in love with these wonderfully creepy Halloween tags...I am so excited!

Growing up I was never really a fan of Halloween, scary bloody costumes, horror films and lots and lots of candy (interspersed only occasionally with chocolate). I always thought it was a "boy" Holiday. It also meant that Summer was over and school/early morning seminary had begun. yuck to both. ;)
