A little treat for the trickers...


Since we are living in our first home, we will get trick or treaters for the first time this weekend! I wanted to decorate a little bit for them.... So here is what I did today!


I bought these supplies at Michael's...

A plain black wreath, chipboard pumpkins, 2 Halloween ornaments
and some ribbon to hang the wreath!
Total cost: $12

So I could make this!

New Living Room Charis




So, I was flipping through the pages of a People Magazine today and imagine my surprise when I read that I have the "knock off" chair in Tori Spelling's living room! She is so cute & now I know I must have OK taste... If she can have something close to mine, then I am doing alright! Right?!?



In her living room, she has these beautiful golden chairs.... very much like these chairs that are in my living room. :)
