Tamale Time!

Well Saturday my mom came over to my house and we made our Christmas Tamales. All together we came out with 17 dozen. We did Pork (of course) Chicken, Cheese and green chili, and OMG Turkey, they are awesome.I cant tell you how many years I have done this with my mom, its tradition. I am all about keeping family traditions alive. I hope one day to share in this tradition with my own children.

Happy One Year Anniversary!

Well its been one year since we have been married! Were does the time go. This is on our way to dinner.

Trick or Treat!

Well this past Thursday My school goes trick or treating around the Reservation, and my co-workers and I dressed up as the cast of Alice in Wonderland. I was Alice, my co-teacher was the Mad Hatter, the others were the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat and the director was the Queen of hearts. The kids loved it. I made my whole costume for under $15. I bought the blue dress at the thrift store, and bought the tights, I made the apron out of scraps I had, I made the headband out of scrap ribbon, and I made the wig, I am super proud of the wig. I am already thinking of possible costumes I can make for next year.

Decorating Done!

So my mom came over to help me decorate for Halloween (early I know) but I love this time of year. So here is the finished project I have been working on for a couple of weeks. I found these awesome glitter silhouettes at the 99 cent store and knew they would be perfect. I painted candle sticks from the thrift store black and put a wooden dowel in it and hot glued the glitter silhouette's on and tada! I am going to place them on my kitchen window.

Here It Is!

Today I am thirty years old! Wow, I am taking this a little harder that I thought. Turning thirty is making me reflect on my life and the things I have done and still want to do. I was looking online for some inspiration on turning thirty and one man wrote 30 things that rock about turning 30 and one in particular really hit me. "Thirty is when you stop finding yourself, and start creating yourself". I am going to live by that now. Happy Birthday To ME!!

Happy September!

I love this time of year, the nights are getting cooler, Halloween decorations fill the shelves at stores, and school starts. I am promising myself that this month is dedicated to getting all my Halloween crafting FINISHED! I have completed the bats and now want to make flying witch silhouettes. I also want to create a wreath for the front door along with topiary filled with real pumpkins, and of course my glitter pumpkins.

Ideas....

As summer is winding down I am starting to get that itch to start crafting for the holidays, and I need ample time to finish all these ideas that I have for my Halloween decor, not to mention my costume. I wanted to do more for my front door this year not just a wreath and I came across this great idea of felt bats on the door and spread out to the wall, like a swarm of creepy bats.
