Eleventh Doctor Costume

First of all, Happy Halloween! There's something about holidays that make me feel like a kid again - even if I'm at work. Today my coworkers and I dressed up and I pulled some things together to dress like the Doctor! My favorite Doctor is the 10th, but I just didn't have any clothing that remotely resembled his outfit.

You can't really see all of my outfit, but I wore a black skirt, leggings, combat boots, a white button-up, suspenders, and a bow tie that I made last night. I also carried my trusty sonic screwdriver.

Luckily I wasn't the only one who dressed up today!

An 80's businessman. So classy.

Happy Halloween! I hope you all have a great day :)

Pinterest Fall Crafts

I've been in the fall spirit today and decided to browse Pinterest for some good fall crafts. A few days ago I found a great tutorial for making pom pom flowers and decided to make some for myself! I tried using floral wire for the stem, but it wasn't quite strong enough to hold the flower, even when I doubled it. Instead, my nephew and I went around the yard looking for good sticks. We got a handful and I only used three, so I'm going to use the rest for a future project. Painted twigs, perhaps?

Here is the finished product!

Who's ready for Halloween?

Just wanted to share a quick post of a card that I made today!

Have you guys made any Halloween crafts lately?

Happy Halloween Eve - Last Minute Craft

It's me, Mario! 

I don't know about you guys, but around my town we're celebrating Halloween tonight. My nephew is going to a carnival at his school today and is all dressed up as Mario!

If you are looking for a quick, last minute craft to make your house Halloween-ready, you can always resort to the old-school tissue ghosts. My nephew and I made the ones hanging in the photo on Tuesday and we had a fun time making them!

All you'll need is:

1. Tissue or toilet paper: I've found that tissues work best because they are a nice square shape.

2. Cotton balls: for the ghost's head, but you can always use a wadded up piece of tissue.

3. String: to tie around the ghost's neck directly below the cotton ball

4. Markers: we used washable markers to create fun little faces on them!

5. Somewhere fun to hang them: as you can see, we hung our ghosts above our stair bannister, where we also hang ornaments during the holidays. We also hung a few in Zak's room and from the mantle!

Our fun little ghosts!

These little ghosts are a fun, age-old Halloween project that look will adorable hanging around your home. Zak was very proud of himself for making something to decorate the house. When I was young, my mom and I made these and also took a basketball and a sheet and made a larger ghost to hang outside! Be creative, the possibilities are endless!

Happy Halloweening,
