kids halloween party invites!

   So, this is it...it's October and I have to plan a 10 year old
   sleepover party! That's right, I said sleepover. YIKES!
   Luckily my daughter only wanted to invite 7 friends.
   We think we can handle that.(Sure...) Anyway, I did
   send out the invitations this morning. My daughter
   helped me create them. Took a small wood coffin
   (Michaels Craft Store) and painted them. Then I designed
   a quick invite and she helped with the copy. Printed them
   out had my daughter tear the edges...tied them with black
   ribbon...put them to bed in blackish grey netting from the
   dollar store. Then of course I had to create the mailing box
   that they went in because the box from the Container Store
   was just too big. So I disected it and created a smaller box...
   put in some spanish moss for that creepy effect. Added a
   maling label and there off! It took the better part of our
   afternoon. Now we just have to decorate the whole house
   and choose the games! I'll keep you posted.

finally!

OK! Here we go...I originally created a blog as my interim designer website. Now that I have finally created my site I can blog for real! That said, you will be seeing everything from my home to projects that I do. Especially since Halloween is right around the corner. See you soon!
