Okay, I was puttering around enjoying reading some blogs when I came across this AMAZING party on Hostess with the Mostess. And, while I have some posts lined up for this week and the next I just had to share this find with you.

So, of course after drooling over the images I had to follow the link over to Brooklyn Limestone where I was FLOORED. The Halloween parties Stefanie throws and the decorations she puts out are AMAZING! Former themes include Spider Infestation, Mad House, Skeleton Invasion and the Freak Show. 

I am also head over heels for her detailed party invitations!

I’m so inspired to really rev up my invitations next year.

So, go check out Brooklyn Limestone and get even more inspired for this year’s Halloween festivities!

Yep, I’ve been MIA for a while again. I have good intentions.. I do.

And, I love you all and love blogging… I just have other responsibilities and projects that are taking precedence over this lovely little blog. 

Want to see my excuses? 

(I think he might always be excuse/reason #1from now on!)

We’ve been really enjoying the Fall weather and many cool events in the Portland area. Two weeks ago we hit the pumpkin patch, last week we checked out the Portland Nursery’s Apple Festival and this week we  have plans for another pumpkin patch. I love fall and experiencing it with the little guy and our little family has just been a treasure.

It is that time of year again and my annual Halloween party prep is well underway. Because of reason number 1 I am WAY behind in getting Halloween ready to go this year. 

We recently enjoyed visiting the Portland Nursery’s Apple Tasting (they are open this weekend as well if you are living in the Portland area) where we purchased a TON of apples and pears.

So, I’ve been busy at work cooking, baking and canning all kinds of tasty fall-goodness. 

I haven’t even had time to read all my favorite blogs… currently my blog reader has 360 unread items. I’ve got to catch up on my blog stalking and comment on some of my favorite posts!  

I do have many guest posts, tutorials and party posts in the works… but, for now I am going to go back to enjoying my excuses! Have a great day!
