DIY Bat Tree...

This is a re-post from last year, but I thought I'd share it just in case anyone wants to make it! If you do make one, let me know, I'd love to see yours!

Halloween is next week! So here's a fun little activity I modified from Martha Stewart Living to decorate your home, create with your babes, + put you in that ghoulish spirit!

1)Trace these bat templates onto black card stock (I used black construction paper) + cut them out following the template instructions. 

2)Using a tack, punch a small hole in the center of each bat. 

3)Poke a piece of thread (I used floss) through each hole and knot it. 

4)Tie the bats to a few branches (painting them with black acrylic paint is optional). 

5)Then place the branches in an old vase and fill with autumn leaves (real/plastic), or hang one branch from two pieces of thread secured to a window frame with flat thumbtacks. 

6)Have a happy Halloween! 

Autumn or Fall...

Whatever you call it, it's here! 

This year the seasons take on a whole new meaning now that there's a little man in the picture, so naturally, we are planning a trip to Oak Glen to go apple picking, pumpkin patching, + memory making!

My good friend Erin re-pinned this on her special "Is it fall yet?!" Pinterest board, and I HAD to share it...

S.O to tinkerlab.com for the sweet bucket list!

How many will you check off this fall? 

I'm aiming for all of them! (minus the football game).

Pinterest...

I'm new to this deal, but so far I think it is the beeeeeeeeeeeest!

I have three boards right now which are: Baby Junk, Photo Ideas, and Crafty McCrafterson.

Special shout out to those that told me about Pinterest months ago/days ago (sorry I didn't get crackin' until yesterday): Katie, Jackie & Emily! You girls are the bees knees and I promise to listen to you from now on, promise!

Now go pin something! Like this...
