I Love My Weekends!

Yesterday was a fun,, fun day! It was just a simple kind of fun too with some special people visiting for Halloween snacks and my near completed craft room! Did you ever have one of those weekends when all your plans actually work out well with no glitches? Hurray! That was my Saturday!

I finished all my decorating (I think) although I did go out early yesterday with my sister-in-laws and found some more cute items at the dollar store. The dollar stores here have really kicked it up a notch on the holiday decorations! I got some cute cut outs that I'll probably save for next year and a few little trinkets for my trick or treat bags.Caitlin was going with Aunt Linda and Aunt Barbara and cousin Donna for a fun day--lunch, Hicks Nursery for pumpkins and the Halloween show and then back to her Aunt Linda's for pumpkin painting. My husband started working on my craft room and I was preparing for a fun afternoon. The house is all decorated and I just love having people over :)  

Is it me or don't pigs in a blanket mean a party??? They do for me! They just make me smile!

Add some popcorn to a witch's kettle....

Cookies, cake, donuts  and potato chips, coffee, tea and candy corn all on a Saturday afternoon with people you truly like to be with! You just have fun chatting and never run out of things to talk about.

The kitchen was lit up! And a glow in pumpkin orange and black!

The Halloween village was lit and I put in the flying witch  I bought from the thrift shop. She circled the neighborhood....

I had two additional special guests who loved our ghosts in the hallway! 

Lucky me I got to see these two for two weekends in a row! Love them! and they are just discovering Halloween!

They walked around and around looking at all the Halloween decorations.

And loved the bug pops I made them offered by this little witch.

It was a nice day! I had to repair my skeleton friend earlier as little Jinxie the kitty decided to play with his dangling legs and we discovered that the "leg bone was no longer connected to the hip bone..." as the song says. But he lives! or does he? that's the question...he is a skeleton!.

So as all this coffee drinking, snack eating and chatting is going on with my adult guests and my kiddie friends, my husband was up the stairs hammering down a pretty wood floor for my craft room and sawing shelves and counters! 

They'll be a work bench under the window and in the left photo these are the bases for shelves, He has to insert them yet but I had to take some pictures! I'll have shelves on the walls and he put tons of outlets!!!  I can have all my crafting goodies in just one room and leave my makeshift spot in another part of the house and have my own room. More pictures to follow. I'm so excited :)  I told you it was a really good Saturday!

Caitlin came home from her day out with a big smile. My niece, who is her second year of college and was home from the weekend, and Caitlin did a little performance of several songs from FROZEN acting it out dramatically and lip synching perfectly like two silly gooses. It was funny and sweet. My daughter was beaming! What great fun they had.

I spent the evening relaxing and making more of my pumpkin friends! I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
