HaLLoWeeN FuN!

Halloween weekend started on Friday afternoon. We got all dressed up & went to my sister in law's work to Trick or Treat at her office. She works at the Wal-mart Home Office so there were tons of people, & lots of candy! Mine was WILD & running everywhere; especially after all of the chocolate!










Friday night we went to some of our friends Halloween Costume Party. It was so much fun! We all did a scavenger hunt for most of the evening. We got paired with people that we didn't know & had to run around town with them & find the things on the list. We even had to take pictures in front of hilarious things. It was a great night with some wonderful friends. Chad's team won! And, don't you LOVE my hubbies cow costume?



























Saturday was a girls day with my sister in law & our baby girls. We took them shopping & then I took pictures of my niece for Fall. I am not done editing them but here is a sneak peek.





Sunday evening both of our families met at our house for pizza & Trick or Treating. We enjoyed playing with the girls. They got some goodies from their Mamee & then we were off to get some candy! Avery was hyper by bed time.... Hilarious!
































I posted a link last night to my Etsy shop that is now open & in full swing with Christmas. Please note that the prices will vary depending on the time I am putting into these as well as the quality of the merchandise etc... I have carefully determined all prices due to the time I put into running back & forth to the stores to get product, time to make them, as well as the variety of pieces that go into them & the quality of the product. They are nicely packed & shipped & have insurance on all of them in case they are damaged by accident in the mail so I had to add the price of shipping/packing seperate as well. So please stay tuned as some of these may change depending on the design. I appreciate all of your nice comments & feedback.

A little history on why I wanted to make these:

I was so excited when I decided to make these. A local shop in our area who does AMAZING sales Holiday wreaths & has awesome product in their wreaths & store. So last year I purchased mine for $275.00- (yes, I may be crazy)... but, I wanted to come up with a way to make them as well & reasonable, yet similar. I figure that some of us ladies pay $100.00 for a pair of boots for the winter, why not a wreath that you will also have every year, every Holiday. HEHE! I am loving making these & have sold many around my town. Can't wait to share some more ideas with everyone!

Also, please stay tuned- I will be giving away a free wreath soon on my blog & you won't want to miss it!

Hope you all have a GREAT start to the week! =)

Show Us Your Life- Nursery!

I am WAY late on doing my post on "Show us your Life- Nursery" at Kelly's Korner so I decided to post today! I love this post because Avery's room is my absolute favorite spot in our home! It's so bright & colorful.

When I found out I was having a girl I immediately decided I wanted something crazy & loud. It fits my personality and now totally fits who Avery is! ;) I hired a lady to make all of my bedding, pillows, curtains, etc. I picked out all of the materials & we met up to discuss what I wanted. She did an amazing job!

Welcome to Avery's room! We used this at her 1st Birthday & decided to hang it above the door as you enter into her room.



I wanted a special verse above her crib & had a lady in our town that is SUPER talented paint this for me. I picked out the design & she painted it in 1 hour! I was super impressed, & pleased!



I went with several different colors in her bed: Zebra, leopards, green's, turquoises, oranges & pinks! I wanted the bed skirt to flow on the floor & look sassy!



Aww, the chandelier. Something I didn't think I would find to make me happy. When I spotted this I went crazy. Had.to.have.it! Made the room. We painted the piece up top to pop on the green ceilings.



This area is a special area to me. My best friend used the zebra board with pictures at my baby shower so I decided to reuse it at Avery's 1st Birthday & then thought I would hang it since it meant so much to me. I love looking at all the pictures when I go in her room. The piece beside it was light pink & we spray painted it black. I loved the design on it & they didn't have any other color. On it are some special wood angels my sister in law bought me when I found out I was pregnant & again before I had Avery. They mean alot to me!



My dear friend Melissa had these pictures made for me for my shower. I framed my favorite ultrasound pictures of Avery in them.



We used the arrangement below them at her 1st Birthday party. My goal was to have something made we could reuse for spring/summer parties, but also for her room afterwards. The stand it is sitting on was $10.00 at a yard sale. We spray painted it black.



I fell in LOVE with my curtains. I was worried because I am so visual & need to see it all together, but when I picked out what I wanted I just knew it would end up flowing nicely. My mom made the knobs that the curtains are hanging from. They turned out exactly how I wanted them!

The bench sitting below the window was from a garage sale. My mother in law bought it & gave it to me. I had it covered in the same material as her bedding & curtains. And the price for it- $15.00!





I could not decide what I wanted for a changing table/dresser. I found this one for $80.00 at an antique store in our area. I changed out the knobs & added a cute sign to the front. I have alot of sentimental pieces on & around this.





My Mom made this for Avery. She used extra fabric left over from her bedding & spray painted the frame. I keep all of my important memorable things on this board like first doctor appts, first cute shoes that I loved, a card from Chad in the hospital, etc.



These next 2 pieces were given to me from a friend at my baby shower. She hand painted this & designed it to match perfectly in Avery's room. It's so pretty & I love looking at it everyday!




The same friend also made this for her bows. I just died when I first saw it & love it!




Mom came up with the letters above her closet. I couldn't seem to get the right paint I wanted so she came up with the idea to cover them with scrap book paper & hang them with ribbon. This seriously cost under $15.00 & took less than 30 minutes to make! We just cut some paper & glued!




I hope you have enjoyed the tour of my diva's fun crazy room! Happy Thursday!

PS- Speaking of baby girls & rooms, CONGRATS TO KELLY on her news of having a baby girl- HOLLIS! I am beyond excited for my friend! =)
