Homemade Halloween 2011

Pretty much everyone at my Halloween "get together" made their own costumes. 

Thrift stores...are...awesome!

Just look at the awesome 80's prom/bridesmaid dress I transformed into my Toddler's pageant dress :)

and look at my hot momma! haha

 Toddler Queen & #1 Stage Mom

 Edward Scissor Hands

 Everyone (but the bumble bee, slacker) made their costume.

 Snooki Monster

Party Fixer (would pass out mini bottles)

My dream doll house

Are you ready for the little girl inside of you to scream?

Check out this Tiny Victorian Cottage...seriously? How gorgeous is this??

This is a real life doll house that you can only get to by walking across the rocks in the stream..*sigh* I love it.


“Sandra Foster turned a Catskills hunting cabin into the romantic Victorian cottage she had always wanted, using vintage columns, flooring and wavy glass windows, and doing the carpentry herself.”

More Halloween Decor!

I thought I would share this little project I did with some ugly pumpkins.

My boyfriends father had these pumpkins he drew on that he was going to throw out, so of course I took them :)

I wanted them to look chic, so I gave them a glamorous makeover. Voila! 

I swear, you can never go wrong with a little black and white paint...and glitter spray! :)

I'm loving them now and am proudly displaying them.

Here's another quick $2 halloween decor tip.

Black construction paper = invasion of the flying bats!

All I did was google "bat stencil" and printed out the first bat I saw and cut the heck out of them. My hand was a little sore but look how cute it looks. Very worth it for $2 :)

Please help me by voting for my t-shirt! :) Please!

Coaster Redo

Who doesn’t love key silhouettes? Am I right or am I right, can I get a 

“what, what!”? 

Assuming you guys just totally gave me a “what, what!”, I’m going to show you what I put key silhouettes on.

I had some boring cork coasters that needed to be freshened up.  Silhouettes are all the rage now, so I thought it would be a cute girly touch. One fat black sharpie and 10 minutes later, they turned into this.

Who knows? Maybe my friends & boyfriend might actually use them! (Just kidding guys, well… not really.)

DIY Halloween Décor

Do you have a million wine bottles that you have sitting on your countertop just waiting to be recycled? I do, but since I’m lazy and have yet to make a recycling bin I just have them there…staring at me.

Then a crazy idea popped into my head. Why don’t I spray paint them black to make a cool table centerpiece? I had this awesome vision in my head that 100% didn’t translate into real life. Upset that I just wasted a whole can of black spray paint I opted to do something a little different to them. I made them into Halloween décor!

This is a really inexpensive way to dress up your home for Halloween. I drew on some spooky stuff using some white out. I really like them now. And of course, they were FREE à my favorite word. Lol.

For scarier results, just add a floating head. 

Taylor Swift T!

Everyone knows I'm a hugeeeeee Taylor Swift fan. My boyfriend bought me tickets to go to her concert and I wanted to wear something awesome, so obviously I wanted to design a t-shirt :) I've always loved the  Jesus is my homeboy shirts, so I made a play off that shirt. And so the "Taylor Swift is my homegirl" t-shirt was born. 

I wore it to her concert, and got a lot of stares and pointing from teen girls. I don't know if they were making fun of me or actually liked my shirt. I'm going to stick with the latter lol ;)

I posted my tshirt on my facebook page with the tagline "Some might say this is blasphemy, but I call it being a Super Fan." Turns out two of my grammar school friends wanted to buy the shirt! I made them but thought I should present it to them in a cute way. This is how I gave it to them.

 I hope they are enjoying their Taylor T's!
