I didn't make it to October 1st.

I am one of those people who usually puts "fall" up at the beginning of September and doesn't do "Halloween" decor until October 1st.
I didn't make it to the first this year. (And I never did put up "fall" so I guess that's why I am jumping the gun here!!)

I guess this outside my front door could be considered "fall" and not yet Halloween, right? ;)

Lil' peeps from my mom are definitely Halloween! Aren't they ADORABLE?? (If you are here in town, head over to Domestic Bliss. That's where she picked these little beauties up!) Thank you, Mom!

Of course I had to do something fun with my mantle. :) You may remember the beach. Well we've moved on. And I am loving the idea I had to use my awesome shutter (one of two) that has been collecting just the right amount of spooky dust for the background. I think the pottery shows up alot better than last year. I still can't believe that I didn't take a photo last year. What was I thinking?? LOL. Well you Bunko gals remember!! ;)

Of course the little details are what makes it the most fun!!

My friend Molly has a FAB new Halloween digi-kit out. You MUST see...go here.
I was able to scrap with it~ YAY ME! Here's some fun LO's I did with our photos from Little L's birthday trip to Disneyland last year. OH the memories!!

And last but not least, I am gearing up and getting my "studio" set up for Halloween Mini-Sessions!! :) I can't WAIT to see what fun pics I get of my kiddos and I am planning on starting the scheduling next week! So keep in mind getting those costumes together for some photos!! It's going to be TONS of fun!!

I am off to try to clean some of my house up before Gigantor wakes up and needs me. He's got pink eye and a fever, the poor little man! Wish me luck...

You kill me! I love all of it. Can you just come visit and help me get my decorating act together. Bring a 1000 dollars with you too okay?

Love these LO. What a fun birthday for Little L.

Can't wait to see your "studio"...I'm still working on mine too.

Where did you get your wreath? I like that it could work for a lot of different holidays if you just change out the ribbon. Your house looks great.

Katrine said...

This is so utterly cute! I love your decorations. I sadly lack in the house decorating area, but you inspire me!

We were on the same page today. I gave in and started my decorating too. I love all your stuff! And I NEED to go to Domestic Bliss now. How creative with the scrable game. I may have to copy. Of course that means I have to buy a game first.

Jen said...

Love it!! I was pulling my stuff out today too, I couldn't wait any longer either. Can't wait for the mini sessions!!

Your LO are so cute! I can't wait to jump over and pick up that kit. You have the best hookups! Love all your digi stuff that you do! The mantel is adorable. I can't decide what I love more; the shutter, the scrabble letters, the white dishes. ADORABLE as you always are.
My fall stuff is up on Monday can't wait.

Rachel said...

I love your decor! And the Scrabble letters, WAY CUTE!

Andrea said...

So, so cute, and yeah, the front porch says fall...that's just a "punkin", not a jack-o-lantern(yet?).

That mantle is in a word: ADORABLE!!!!!! Love it! I suppose I should get my Halloween stuff out since the kids have been asking about it for 2 weeks! Not tomorrow though, we're off on a 4wheeling excursion. :)

You are so talented!!
That looks so cute & makes me want to start decorating my house.

I'm sorry I didn't play along in your challenge at the TBD Loft! I was going to but I couldn't create anything I was at least a bit proud of. You see... I hate fall! It's when it gets cold, windy, rainy and dark here and all colors disappear and they won't come back until March/April again.

I love what you've done to your house. It's really pretty! And I adore those little figurines. Wish you could find them here (even though we don't celebrate Halloween). They are just too cute!

Brittney said...

your cute decor is making me want to cry at my own hideous house. why can't I grow up and have a pretty house already?!!

molly said...

Oh i LOVE it all! I am going to get mine up this week! YAY!
Did I hear you say that is only one of two black shutters? When and where does the bidding start for the other? :)
Thanks for all your beautiful LO's! Love them all.
