October 3, 2013: Fall and halloween crafts

On October 3rd, Jessica and I had a craft day at her house with my daughter-in-law Shauna, Jess' best friend, Andrea Scarberry, and my close friend and walking buddy, Patti Waseta. We made these darling Halloween decorations: a Harry Potter set of books, a "BOO" door hanging, and a set of mummy jars with tea lights in them. It was fun! We also enjoyed lunch together and had my baked bow tie pasta, homemade jumbo rolls, and yummy apricot bars that Patti brought.

The boys were so good all day!
A Halloween ghost and jack-o-lantern that I made many years ago in Provo Utah during a relief society homemaking class is still one of my favorites
This year I made this awesome haunted house

Last year I put this Fall centerpiece together with Jessica's help. There's candy corn underneath the candles in those glass containers.
This year's Fall decor additions were super easy and fun to put together: A vase of autumn twigs from Hobby Lobby and a colorful wreath made with a grapevine wreath and a Fall garland that I untwisted and wove into the wreath. It's now one of my favorite holiday wreaths.
