hooked on colors

Holy Pinata, Batman! I love the colors on my tree, it's like Fiestas Patrias! But I couldn't hang my cute little decorations with those plain old aluminum hooks. How booooring. I needed something festive, bright, cheery. Oh if only I could find that special something...
But wait! What's that I spy? Over in the stationary supplies in the kitchen. Could it be? Yes! Paper clips.

Okay, that's not how it happened. I was cleaning the stationary cabinet and I ran across the paper clips. I remembered using them as hooks in the past but now...they'recolored!

Just open them up and voila! A cute, color coordinated hook for my scrap medallions.

 

Definately a Treat!

While we don't really celebrate Halloween in a big way at our house, we do like to dress up for our trick-or-treaters and Pickles does go out for candy. Our get-ups are usually DIY cuz that's the best kind isn't it?

Here you see Mother Darling as a Mexican native in a beautifully embroidered Mexican dress. Sister C made those braids for her.

Pickles was, in her words, a super hero...she went as a Nerd Girl (tag line: her BRAIN is her super power!) She was thoroughly delighted and THREW herself into her role.

 

I dressed as the fabulous and flighty Effie Trinket of The Hunger Games. It wasn't much of a departure, though. I can be fab and I'm known for being flighty.

 

Good times, good times. Well, Happy Halloween AND May the odds be ever in your favor!
