Look What I Found

Shopping in Walmart last week I came across one of my favorite Halloween classics.

I look forward to watching this on television each year. Now I can watch it whenever I want.  And it was only $7.50.  I also found a Simpsons Halloween dvd (I like the Simpsons) and a Scooby Doo 2 disc set.  Both were only $5.

Last month friends over at Magical Holiday Home were discussing movies they like to watch around Halloween when I realized I don't really have any movies. Hence my recent purchases. The only Halloween dvds I have are Monster High and Sponge Bob, that I bought for my nieces and nephews when they were little and would stay over on weekends. It was one of the things I liked to do with them.

Now I'm on the hunt for a few more, Hocus Pocus, Betle Juice, Casper, Nightmare Before Christmas, and a few others.  I'm not into the scary movies like Halloween.  Will be having nightmares for weeks lol.

Can you believe fall begins in 6 days?  Yey, I'm so excited.  And this weekend the fall decorations are going up. Came home today and started cleaning and clearing space.  

Well I need to clean my kitchen and then I'm turning in.  Good night!

My Neighbor

This morning while my boyfriend and I were taking out an old computer chest, I noticed one of my neighbors has started putting up some of their Halloween decorations.  It made me smile. 

I have been putting out my fall decor inside my home. After seeing my neighbor I put out my fall doormat and hung my decorated grapevine wreath on the front door.  No pumpkins or scarecrows arecoming out til October 1st.

Halloween Costumes

The other day I received an email from Martha Stewart.com discussing homemade Halloween costumes and it got me thinking,"What am I going to be this year for Halloween?"

Happy Halloween!

 

Have a Boooo-ti-ful Day!

Freaky Friday!

It's the day before Halloween.  For those of you who will celebrate,  you're probably finishing the last details for parties or putting the final touches on your costumes.

Today has become a bit crazy for me as I still have to find the remaining accessories for my costume (Closet, here I come).  Then there's the cookies to bake for tomorrow's party. I also want to do something with my hair.  I don't know if I want to go curly which will require sitting under the hair dryer for a couple of hours or wear it straight. Not to mention my nails need to be done.

I'm sitting in my office all alone. Noone is here today. I like days like this because usually I can get a lot done.  Earlier when I arrived it was pitch black and I was a little freaked out. See last weekend my best friend and her husband were telling me about the movie they went to see called "Paranormal Activity".  Supposedly it's based on a true story.  Anyway, I have a vivid imagination so when they were telling me the story, I was able to picture the scenes and that got me a little scared.  I'm not a big fan of scary movies (Always been that way).  Later that night I was scared to close my eyes in bed and I was sleepy as H---.  My boyfriend laughs at me. Give me something like "A Charlie Brown Halloween" to watch and I'm good. Hahaha!

OMG!  My boss just came in.  He was supposed to be out in a meeting all day today.  Oh well there goes my peace.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Ghouls Day to everyone. I for one am excited. I'm going to a Halloween party tonight and it's gonna be a blast. My best friend and her husband have been working hard with the decorations and food prep for the last few weeks. She told me that the planner I gave her has been a big help.

As for my costume, I had to come up with a quick solution as I never got around to completing my original costume idea (I wanted to go as a swamp woman). So last night I went straight home and headed right to the closets. I found my wig from a 70's party I went to a few years ago and spiffed it up. Then I went to the drawers and pulled out a cute printed chemise. It's brown but has a really neat retro-like print all over it. Then back to the closets where I pulled out a pair of boots and my faux fur coat. I found a really big pair of hoop earrings in the jewelry box, a pair of thick tights to keep my legs warm and some really crazy looking eyelashes that I bought one year for a vampire costume but forgot I had them.

Today when I get off I have to get home quickly to get ready. One of my nieces wants to go trick or treating before we go to the party. I told her we'll see. Well I have a little over an hour before I'm off the clock so I better finish this work on my desk. I'll let you know how the party was on Monday. Have a safe Halloween!

Halloween

September 21st kicked off the Halloween Countdown over at MHH. It's a great plan for getting ready for the holiday and any festivities you are planning. I've never hosted a Halloween party. I leave that to my bestfriend and her husband. I did make her a notebook to help them keep things organized and offered my assistance if they need me. My BFF is pumped. She and her husband cleaned their house from top to bottom and already have their fall decorations up. The house looks so warm and welcoming. I bought her a Halloween countdown calendar from Avon I new she would like. When I gave it to her, she immediately hung it on her kitchen door. Plans to decorate will start the first weekend in October.

The first week of the countdown basically has you setting up a notebook. Fortunately, her book is done -- she's off to a good start.

Great Pumkin Day

Tomorrow is the first part of GPD for this month (the date is also celebrated at the end of each month). Now that I think about it, this is the last month as next month is Halloween. I have made some changes to my plans for decorating for fall so I will spend a little time making revisions. Then I'll start working on the invitations for my best friends Halloween party. Also I want to go over my plans for my Harvest Breakfast gathering. Ike's bringing us rain this weekend which will keep me in the house so I'll definitely get some work done.
