I know it's November, but...

re-cap of Halloween!!

I had a lot of fun making some new crafts, food, and coming up with my costume!
Now I can't wait to get started on Christmas....
I just can't really seem to get into any Thanksgiving decorating here seeing as though we don't have any leaves changing or cornucopias. lol.   We are having dinner with a friend of mine so we won't even be eating Thanksgiving dinner at our house, although I do plan on making lots of stuff... especially pumpkin pie!

anyway. here are a few of my favorite Halloween decorations


these are pop bottles, mostly LLBs that I removed the label and either painted with nail polish, wrapped twine around, or decorated with black electrical tape.  the green bottle is Ting


some friends and I were out snorkeling and I was on the hunt for some cool branches to use as a decoration... I had my mind set on something much different, but Veronika spotted this and we decided the thorns were very Halloween-ish

I made lots of other silly little decorations and food, you can read/see more on my other blog.

On Halloween Night I made Lee and I spooky pancakes!  I intended to have bright purple pancakes, but didn't really take into account that when I cooked them they would 'brown' so they were kinda purple. and I dyed our scrambled eggs bright orange. haha. but they didn't photograph too well.




and finally... my costume!!
