October was so BUSY!

As I had suspected all along October was by far the busiest month! Worrying about my birthday, Halloween, and Brooke's early November birthday made there SO much to do! But I loved every second of it! First off I want to post about the adorable wreath I made this year. It was a project from last year that I bought stuff for but never completed. Why I don't know because it was SO easy! Here's what I did..

First I took a piece of foam board and cut a square hole in the center!

Next I took leaves off a fall garland I bought on sale last year and I hot glued them individually to the foam board

I hot glued a fall ribbon from Target's dollar spot a few years ago to the corner of the board and continued adding leaves till it looked to my satisfaction! Then I simply hung it on the wall!

I love it! Anyways, here are some of the adorable pictures from our fall/Halloween season this year!

And then came my baby's first birthday!!!!!!!! I don't want her to grow up!! Here are some of the details of her VERY planned cowgirl party ha ha!

Everyone loved it! Here are some of the party pictures!

Now that that's all over with I'm kind of waiting out Thanksgiving which was never a real favorite for me, and am super excited for Black Friday to start off my Christmas Season!! I love this time of year and the decorations that come with it! My goal this year is to be decorated, cards done and ready to be mailed and shopping done by the first week of December. Will I get there? Doubt it! Ha ha but it's always good to have goals! Hopefully it wont take me months to post again! Love you all who read this!
