Originally we were going to put all our vinyl equipment in this office until we finish the basement office, but it didn't fit. It didn't even come close to fitting. So, we put all our stamps & vinyl, along with Tyler's computers, in our unfinished basement. This has since turned into my office where I answer emails, design stamps & vinyl, and make cards & other crafts.
This cute display furniture is actually borrowed from my mom. I know she's going to want it back as soon as her house is finished being built, so I'll have to find something to replace it before then. I'm growing kind of attached to it.
My desk. I love this office. It over-looks our back yard so I can watch the kids playing outside while I work. I even have my own door to the deck.
Our bright ceiling & colorful chandelier.
I made these flowers from paper. Just an inexpensive way to decorate. The vases are from my fireplace. I moved them into the office so I could adorn our fireplace with holiday decor. The picture is from Tyler's parents gallery. They were about to throw it in the trash. Luckily I rescued it before that happened.
Another piece of my mom's cute furniture. We may look for a bookshelf & small reading sofa for this area... maybe in a year or so.
This afternoon we went to the Halloween Parade at Ella's school. I loved seeing all the costumes. I feel bad though. I think the parade was more than overwhelming for Ella. She had a tough time after it was over.
I got sick of Lily's witch costume she wears every day, and talked her into dressing as a cave-lady. The shoes are not part of the costume.
That night we met over at the Jones’ house for their traditional neighborhood night of Trick-or-Treating. They had some fun games and prizes at the clubhouse after-wards.
I'm pretty excited for Nov. 1st, when I can hide Lily's daily outfit (a.k.a. her witch costume).

Hallie, Chase, & Kimball.
We went to a fun surprise party for my friend Danielle. Lily thinks Jacob is my brother Ryan. Ella and I don't see the resemblance, but Lily is convinced.
Spooky Bats for your front door. Total Cost: $1.00 Click Here to download a PDF bats pattern. I made these bats out of a sheet of black stiff felt (available at Hobby Lobby). You could use paper instead, but the felt is inexpensive & I'll be able to re-use these bats again next year. Feel free to enlarge or shrink the bats to the sizes you prefer.
For my fireplace mantel, I cut more bats out of the stiff felt, then hung them from some thin plastic thread. Total Price: $2.37.
