Day of the Dead // Halloween Party

I am so excited about this upcoming Halloween! This year's party theme is "Day of the Dead" (also known as Dia De Los Muertos.) And I've found SO MUCH inspiration on Pinterest by collecting over a hundred pins so far! Click below to view the entire board for clever skull-shaking ideas!

Styling with Skulls

Why not? Halloween is right around the corner after all! Found these great photos over at Stylizmo- where you can find out where these awesome skull pillows were purchased (in case you're interested in bringing some into your home too!)

Last Minute DIY Costume Round-Up

Just in case you haven't yet decided... or you've been putting it off... or you refuse to wear the same thing for the next three nights of halloween partying- here are some last-minute costume ideas!

MDP Rustic Halloween

Just a few Halloween/ Autumn decorating snapshots I wanted to share with you all. My camera is so terrible- but you get the idea :) I'm using earthy rustic colors this holiday season! I love them because they're great for transitioning into Thanksgiving as well.

Old World Primitive Halloween

Crafty - folksy - vintage - whatever you want to call it - this is the way I like to do Halloween! Mixed media artist Stephanie Baker of Old World Primitives has a charming collection inspired by her childhood where she grew up in an 18th Century farmhouse. Her work is greatly influenced by the primitive arts and crafts style from the period. I'm especially fond of this aesthetic when paired with the holidays. Something about it brings out the little-girl spirit in me. I'm so ready to go trick-or-treating now!

Safe Halloween

Say no to laced candy. Otherwise a skeleton may take advantage of you...

Tentacle Pot Pie

Not Martha is one of my favorite blogs to go to during the holidays... there are always wonderful & creative ideas to check out- especially the recipes. This week I saw this adorable Tentacle Pot Pie Recipe. She snagged the recipe from Simply Recipes and then experimented with the puff pastry topping... I'm all about that!

It's here it's here!

Here's something that can save you some time and money- using chalkboard spray paint! The dark color is perfect for spooky decorating- and it's also versatile enough to use for the rest of the year!

Pumpkins on the Mind

I'm horrible at carving pumpkins. It takes strength, endurance, and patience- none of those qualities will ever be used to describe me. I loooove pumpkins though. They taste and look wonderful- especially in the Fall. After visiting Miss Martha Stewarts Halloween site- it inspired me to pick up my carving tools this year- because these pumpkins are fantastic! Check out her site to see more...

Directions for all of these carving projects can be found HERE...
