Costume or Not, Here I Come!

So, guess what? I got Halloween night off work—talk about a last-minute treat! Looks like my festive Halloween tee is doubling as my costume this year. Hey, it's the spirit that counts, right?

Treat Bags on the Fly

James and I went into full-on treat bag assembly mode when we found out I'd be home. It's our first Halloween in the new place, so we're unsure how many little ghouls and goblins will appear. But let's be real—I'm secretly hoping to snag a bag or two of candy for myself!

Sending you all the creative vibes! 🌙✨ I

Happy Haunting! 🖤

Here’s a peek of what I picked up at the Habitat For Humanity ReStore last week!

photography board from an old cabinet door

I picked up this old cabinet door.  It doesn’t seem like much, but once I removed the last bit of hardware, it turned into a beautiful photography board.  I’ve been wanting to make my own photography boards for a while but when I saw this old door at the ReStore, I knew it would be perfect for photography.

This basket was too cute to pass up!  I bought it originally for making a fruit basket as a gift for Christmas, but I might keep the basket for myself!

My husband asked why I would want these old cookie sheets.  For photography backgrounds!
