Okay, clearly I don’t know how to be “wordless,” but with Halloween on the brain and our new Candy Corn collection photo shoot still going on, I’ve been too swamped to say much (sorry for my absence yesterday), so I thought I would at least post a pre-photo shoot pic of our little ghost in sugar form. Don’t you think he was even adorable in the baker’s box?!
More to come later this week including the resource for these sweet little guys!

Our facebook fans got a peek at this little guy a few days ago, the invite for our newest collection, Candy Corn. I’m not sure which element I like more… the ghost or the owl! Hmmm… but the fact that our little ghost is losing his candy probably pushes me over the edge in his favor. {wink}
With the photo shoot for the decor and DIY printable collection (candy table tags, beverage wrappers, cello toppers, favor tags and more) only hours away, I’ve been scouring the shops for props, candy and cookies to decorate the table and I’ve found some goodies! I can’t wait to share it all with you!
(candy corn cookie image via Google, searched Etsy for shop but couldn’t locate; if you know the baker would love to give credit for this beautiful cookie!)

This has been a whirlwind wonderful week and to celebrate, we are having milkshakes during tonight’s family movie night. Oh yeah! So in preparation, I went looking around for kid-friendly and adult-friendly options. {wink}
This first group is very kid-friendly:

These two are even more kid-friendly! Shoot, they’re everyone-friendly! Just look at them!

And last, but not least, a few spiked milkshakes for the adults!
Happy weekend everyone!

If you’ve not ever been introduced to the eighteen25 blog, then you’re in for a real treat. These ladies make me wish I had sisters! {Love you big brother!}
So on Monday they posted a FREE download of the tag you see in the picture above. Very “cool” isn’t it! They designed it so we could all give fun goodies to our neighbors and friends this summer. Hop over to read all the details, download your printable and to see what else they’ve been up to!

I know what you’re all thinking. It’s a little early to be talking about Halloween! Actually it’s not. For those of us in the stationery business we have to be way out in front of the upcoming holiday, and Halloween is what’s been on my brain now for weeks. I have to admit I’m getting a little giddy about sharing what’s coming. Since it’s not quite ready, I thought I would share a few hints for one of my “new favorite” Halloween collections. I’m hoping to share it on Facebook as early as this afternoon so make sure you join us if you’ve not already!
Stay tuned!!
