Friday's Party: Woodland Spooky Forest

I wish I was hosting a Halloween party this weekend or better yet was invited to this party via

 better homes and garden. I love how it's not your typical black and orange party and the decor is beyond adorable. 

 {love how the woodland/ forest theme is carried out here by being a cupcake stand}

 {the seating is too spooky cute for words!}

{favor boxes}

BB's Facial Towelettes

I recently purchased these facial cleansing towelettes and for $6 they are definitely a drug store steal!

They have a nice scent to them and not only do they do a nice job in removing all of your makeup they also leave your skin feeling smooth and moisturized thanks to the rice and cotton extract.

Friday's Party: Party Kit Supplies

Who doesn't love throwing and decorating for a party especially when the decor is actually manageable by us non crafty Marthas'?!?!?!

Today, I wanted to share an easy party kit that anyone can throw together along with how to make fringe garland  for an easy party decor!

I'm really wanting to make some fringe garlands for Miss E's Milk n' Cookies birthday party in December, but I can't decide on a color combination.

Halloween Mantel

After seeing so many adorable mantels decorated for Halloween I thought I would share mine with all of you. It is not what I originally envisioned, but I quickly realized I need to keep it kid friendly until little hands know not to touch.

Pumpkin Patch Time

Last weekend we went on a little road trip to Marble Springs, Texas. It was the perfect fall day for picking out pumpkins and going on a hay ride.

DIY Anthro Metal Letters

Like many others I love the Anthropologie metal letters that they sell. But, at $18 a letter and with an entire new home to decorate I just couldn't fathom spending $60 on metal letters.

So.. to pinterest I went and well I finally tackled one of my many to do projects.
I have to say for $10 total I am very pleased with how they turned out.


I purchased the craft letters at Hobby Lobby. They are around $2 a piece and I used this paint which can be  purchased at Home Depot.

I sprayed each letter with two coats of paint and they dried in roughly two hours.
I applied them to the wall using double sided foam tape and they are now hung above my kitchen pantry.
