It's Party Time! Let's Dare to Share!

It's Friday night, and you know what that means.. 

It's time to Dare to Share! 

If you are looking for some last minute DIYs, I finally posted the projects that I made for this Halloween.  You can see what I made on this post here.

I added a couple new listings for Halloween in my Etsy Shop. If you need a Take One Please or an Out of Treats sign you might want to check them out.  

I am just adding this picture, because it was a beautiful pink sunset. 

Do you dress up for Halloween?  I do, and I have my costume.  It's going to be a popular costume this year, because it's part of something that is coming in November.  That is my clue, do you know what I am going to be?  I am DIYing part of my costume, which I will post here once I am finished with it.  

Now that you know what I have been up to, I would like to see what you have been doing.  Link up and HAVE FUN!

Easy Last Minute Halloween DIYS

Last year I made a cute last minute ghost candy basket that got a lot of compliments, and held a lot of candy.  This year I updated DIY to incorporate the pink Halloween trend. 

This ghost lantern is very easy to make. I used a Dollar Tree lantern and a package of their flexible cutting boards. I cut the cutting boards to fit the lantern and added a the face and ribbon.  It's perfect for our purple Halloween theme I am doing this year. 

This year there has been a viral trend using spackle on a canvas in the shape of ghost. They are really easy to make, and can be adapted to whatever colors you want. I shared how I made these on both Instagram and TIK TOK.  My grand baby loves the bright ghosts.  :) 

 

Another trend that has been going on the last few years is making a ghost painting.  People have been buying painting and then adding spooky scenes.  I like to do this trend on a budget.  I buy my canvases at the Dollar Tree. I made these two for my bathroom.  They make me smile every time I see them.  I also made a few other canvases his year which you can see here, and here.

Since I am doing a purple non scary Halloween for my grand baby, I wanted to make a cute ghost sign.  I found the large ghost and ghost ornaments at the Dollar Tree.  This is mama ghost and all her ghost babies who represent someone in our family. The purple bows make the ghosts more cute than scary. 

I love the bleach your own T shirts trend. This year I made this cute skeleton shirt.  

My main display on our front porch is my giant purple ghost that made from covering one of our porch leaners. You can see how I made it on Instagram and TIK TOK. I may add a few more Halloween DIYs this season, but I am also starting to think ahead to Christmas.

It's Friday night, and you know what that means..

It's time to Dare to Share! 

We had a very busy, and fun time last weekend. If you live in the Midwest your probably have hear of the Kings Island amusement park. During the fall, they open every weekend with a Halloween Haunt.  The weather this fall has been much warmer than normal, so we have already been to two haunts. It has been pretty crowded though, so we have not been able to ride many rides. They also open in mid November to the end of December for Winterfest.  This time of year is also fun with all the Christmas lights, decorations and ice skating on the  fountain.  

On Sunday it was another gorgeous warm day. We went to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. It was also extremely crowded, but fun.  

Today my pups got their new Bark Bag. I make them pose with the bag before we open it every month.  Today's picture cracked me up. 

My golden is usually very smiley, but today she had such a serious expression while posing. She quickly went back to smiling when I opened the bag and she got her new toys.  She loves the toys, and her sister loves the treats.  

I still need to post my Halloween DIY post. It will go up this weekend.  Here is another one of this year's DIYS that will be in the post. I am loving the pink and purple Halloween trend this year.  

Now that you know what I have been up to, I would love to see what you have been up to.  Link up and HAVE FUN!

Let's Dare to Share!

It's Friday night, and you know what that means.. 

It's time to Dare to Share! 

This past week was a busy one.  We visited with friends and family in Michigan, then on Sunday we went to an Oktoberfest in Ohio to meet with friends that D has known for years.  When were near the Michigan State campus, I got a picture of their Spartan themed McDonalds.  I don't know what it looks like inside, but I would like to see it some day.  I am still very much a Buckeye, but my son is a Spartan so I like them too. 

 During the first weekend in October, the population of Minster, Ohio multiples many times over.  They host a very popular Oktoberfest and parade which we try to go to every year. D has been meeting his friends there for over 40 years.  This year the weather  was gorgeous!! There have been years we are freezing wearing heavy coats, this time we were wearing shorts and t-shirts. 

Tonight I worked on several easy Halloween DIYs that I will be posting on Monday. I am going with a purple and girly Halloween theme because of my grand baby. She is only one,  and not quite ready for a scary Halloween. I am loving how things are turning out.  Look for that post in the next few days.  

I just recently posted a new Halloween Hunt in my Etsy Shop. I had a lot of fun with this one. Kids look for missing Halloween candy that was taken by a spooky character.  

If you posted on last week's party, you may have been wondering what I meant last week about having issues with my computer.  When I got on the computer last Friday, I could not find any of my files or pictures. I knew there were still on computer, but I could not find them. It had something to do with my computer restarting, and me not being in the right email. D figured things out and it's all good again.  

Now that you know what I have been up to, I would love to see what you have been up to.  Link up and HAVE FUN!
