I LOVE ETSY & HOLIDAYS!

Okay, so Samantha wants to be Jessie from Toy Story for Halloween. How can I say no? But to be honest, I hate how cheap Halloween costumes are for older kids! And you pay like $40.00 them! SO...I decided to get my little creative mind going and start looking around for homemade ideas. I wanted it to look real nice so Jessie wouldn't say I was just trying to be cheap. (i.e. putting her in jeans, a white shirt, and the cowgirl hat she already has.) So I found etsy!!! Which I have run across the etsy blog before but never paid attention to it. They have the CUTEST "Jessie" pillowcase dress for less than the costume. It is A-DORABLE. NOT cheap looking. And she can still be Jessie for Halloween. In this case, however, she will be wearing the cowgirl hat she already has just because it is red like Jessie's even though it isn't technically a replica of Jessie's hat. Check it out! (Below)

Also, this month is Samantha's birthday, which means her PARTY!!! YAY! I am almost ready! Just gotta get a few things and have my Aunt finish the invites, which she should this weekend. I can't wait to start planning Thanksgiving and Christmas! Heck, I just can't wait for Fall!!! It seems like it was Fall just yesterday. I remember we hadn't been living here too long and Samantha and I made all sorts of decorations. This year I have stocked up on some super cute decorations at yardsales. I think they will make the house look real nice! I am sorry I am everywhere. I am just so excited now!!!
