Halloween Party 2011

I had just realized I hadn't posted any of the AMAZING pictures from this year’s pumpkin carving party!

Some fun moments:
 - Realizing people had got to the park at 4AM that morning to reserve ALL the tables, leaving our party “SOL”
 - Going to Thomas's work to steal tables and chairs, manually putting them into his car, and hauling them up to LA
 - Changing the time of the party three times
 - Going through all the pumpkin guck to find the seeds (Yummy)
 - Cuteness overload with two puppies and a baby
 - Amazing beautiful day full of friends, babies, and puppies!

Things to remember for next year….Pay the money to reserve the tables so we don’t loose another 5 years on our life due to stress.

Found a space!

In the last post, I had a little mishap with the purchasing of a beautiful tree sticker. BUT I have great news that we have found a place for it. My mom and dad came over on Sunday and my mom, being the interior design guru she is, found a perfect place for it that enhanced our bedroom! It was the perfect color and size! I know the picture is a little dark, but you get the picture!

A little background on our bedroom….We had mounted our TV in our bedroom, but with that comes a lot of wires. We had a black coil thingy (like my technical term) to keep all the wires together and keep it as neat as possible. The problem is it isn’t the best looking, so now with this tree it looks more like the trunk. Very excited!

95% Accurate

I like to say that I have a good eye for measurements. 95% of the time I am able to find great deals on things I need, and they work out really well. I totally thrive on finding amazing deals for quality items. (It’s a little bit of an obsession) With that said, I have been in the process of decorating our new home and was pretty much done except for one or two “improvements.” I found a great addition to our home which was a tree that was essentially a sticker. The way our layout is in our living room is our TV isn’t centered on the wall due to the "L” shaped couch, so I needed to find something that could go on the wall behind it, but go with the lopsided theme. I found this tree that looked like it was being blowing in the wind. (See picture below. It’s similar but not the same. Mine was prettier.) It was perfect! It could go around the TV! I found it on Hautelook.com for $25 bucks. I had been doing research and the ones I saw were $150-200 bucks a pop. Once I saw it, I was sold! What a great deal!

It finally came and couldn’t wait to get home and complete our living room with this fun print. I took it out of the wrapper, held it up to the wall and then all I heard was immense laughter coming from behind me. I guess I didn’t know the exact size of the print, and it was about 4 feet two small. SO BUMMED!!!!! Thomas enjoyed it thoroughly though.
