The blog hasn’t been as quiet as it might have been since I planned some posts to go love while we were away. I didn’t expect it to be so quiet when we returned, but as always after being away for nearly two weeks I returned with a long to-do list, and a miserable cold as well. I shouldn’t complain because I don’t remember the last time I was ill, but it definitely has slowed me down.
I have to admit that Halloween has never been one of my favorite holidays. I have a few Halloween decorations I put out each year, and I loved getting together costumes for Sarah and Matt when they were little, but otherwise it leaves me rather uninspired.
This year I was determined to come up with more age-appropriate cards for Caleb and Skylar than I managed last year. When I saw this cute ghost during one of Papertrey’s recent releases, I grabbed it, and I’m glad I did. The card design is lifted from one of Maile Belles’ always creative designs.
I love that the little bow can be a hair bow—
or a bow tie.
I found the perfect Halloween board book for two year olds at Barnes and Noble. I’m quite sure they’ll love it.
The story is in rhyming verse, there are doors to open to see who is there, but the best is a door bell you press to hear the trick 0r treaters arrive at your house. If you celebrate this holiday, I hope it’s filled with treaters and not many tricks!
I hope you are feeling a lot better!
Your cards are perfect. We don’t do cards here, but we usually have a few treats to eat and plenty of sweets ready for callers. I love to see the costumes
Cute cards! I’m not a fan of Halloween either. In fact, I’m traveling home from LA today and won’t get in until late, so I didn’t decorate and we are passing on the trick-or-treaters this year. Hope we don’t get egged!
These lovely cards spell fun, rather than fear 🙂 and that little ghost figure is sweet rather than scary – good choice for little ones! Hope you enjoy the celebrations, however low key. We like it that way here too :).
I’m not a big fan of halloween either…..but I do get a bag of themed sweets in….just as well as 4 groups of highly dressed up kids have knocked at the door so far.
The cards are great fun….not something we do over here at all.
Your cards are so cute, Karen, and I noticed that cute little bow/bow tie right away. So clever.
I loved Halloween when Carrie was little – loved making her costumes and making it a fun day for her, but now that she’s grown and I’ve yet to have grandchildren, I find myself completely uninspired. I didn’t even decorate at all this year. Sorry to hear you’ve been sick – do take care of yourself!
I loved it when the children were little but now it leaves me cold. Your cards are really gorgeous and that little bow, just lovely. I do hope you are feeling better by now.
Perfect cards for the little ones!
Your cards are wonderful and I am sure that hey loved the book 🙂
