Around the house...

Hello Friends! It has been a busy and fun week here in Dove Canyon - so much work to do and of course, the ever fun Halloween Blog Party that Vanessa hosted yesterday. I enjoyed catching up on so many of your blogs (while Tim hooted and hollared through the Red Sox game.) Your creativity, imagination, and craftiness amaze me. Thank you for sharing your Halloween magic!
So, I spent the day tooling around with the outside of my house - getting ready for the big party we are hosting on Halloween night. My neighborhood is very into decorating and well, a girl has got to keep up, right?
You should see how cool this looks with the orange lights lighting up the tree in the dark -
I found these huge glitter ornaments at Shinoda on Wednesday with my mom. I think they are the coolest - they look perfect in this barren tree in my front yard.
And, after three hours of painting, my shabby old table that I inherited from Tim's dad looks perfectly new and adorable. This was my first real painting project - it was hard work, but I had fun and it was so worth it. Not too bad for $11.00 worth of paint supplies, don't you think? If you would like to see the table's before photo, I posted a pic of it a while back.
I hope your Sunday has been just as fun and restful as ours was here in Dove Canyon.

Your table turned out so cute. Looks like you dropped a bundle for it at a posh boutique! And that barren tree with the huge ornaments...FABULOUS!
