Eerie decor with Mrs. D

Happy first annual Halloween Pin Party!

I've definitely been neglecting this and my own two personal blogs lately (Reading with Mrs. D and And Something Pink.) Sure, I've posted a few things, but I definitely have to try harder after baby goes to bed each night to write a few entries and schedule them for posting.

This year will be my daughters very FIRST Halloween. My husband and I had a hard time deciding what she would go as. We had FINALLY settled on Superbaby when my husband got a call from his boss to go back to Labrador for a month, meaning he'll miss the Holiday (not to mention the weekend he left contained both my birthday and Canadian Thanksgiving).

So that my Batman loving husband wouldn't miss out on dressing as a Superhero with his daughter, I had to think of something else.
 

My mom and I went shopping, and Zellers had all their costumes on Sale. So now, baby is going to be little Miss Red Riding Hood! This is particularly funny to me because a few years ago my hubby (then fiance) and I went as Little Red and the lumberjack, lol.


Now onto my pins...

I'm going to share some of my favourite decoration ideas with you today. Please Enjoy!

1. Toilet paper tubes with glow sticks in them: Stick in dark corners and in bushes to give your yard some spooky eyes looking at trick-or-treaters.


2. White wedding bells with construction paper faces and white tulle circles thrown over top to look like little ghosts.

3. White balloons with glowsticks inside to look eerie. Perfect for classroom decor!


4. Tomato cage upside down with white twinkle lights inside/wrapped around, covered with white sheet or tulle.

5. Small pumpkins/squash painted black with wings added to look like bats.



6. Empty jars painted to look like ghosts/ghouls. 


7. I'm probably doing this one, just 4L milk cartons with the labels off, faces painted on and twinkle lights/glowsticks/ battery candles inside. Perfect to put in my apartment window while I take my baby to visit the relatives.


8. Cinderella! Awesome!

Halloween Pin Party!


Hello, everyone! It's Lori from Teaching With Love and Laughter. 
I'm starting our week long Halloween Pin Party! 

My first pin will, hopefully, make you all chuckle a bit! I saw this cute idea on Doodle Bugs and knew I had to make my own version of these silly pumpkins. How can you resist the charm of these little cuties?

Here's a really cute craft that my first graders are going to do at our Fall Party.

The rest of my pins are of some really cute Halloween freebies that I've seen from some really talented bloggers. Hopefully, you'll find some ideas and activities you can use. Just click on each image and you'll be taken to some great blogs!









I hope you find a thing or two you can use!
I also hope you enjoy the Spooktacular Pinning Party!

Tutorial: How to share Pinterest Pins on your blog

I'm posting this tomorrow on my personal blog, but I'm giving it to you lovely ladies (and gentlemen) a day early (or 12ish hours, lol).

Check it out later at Reading with Mrs. D



Have you ever been surfing through blog posts and have someone share an idea they say they found VIA Pinterest? Oftentimes they share the original image (yay), but forget to either link it back to the original source or to share a Pinterest Link so we can find our own way back to the original pin.

Have you ever wondered how folks who share Pinterest pins get the words under the pinned picture on their blog that shows you where the pin is?

Well, here's your tutorial.

Awesome Halloween Teacher Pal Gift Ideas!

I love giving my fellow teachers a little something for each holiday. 

But you don't want to give them too much of something, because lets face it, most women are dieting almost all the time. :) 

So I found some super cute, yet small, treats for my pals. They will be getting one of these little beauties come October 31st!
