 Welcome to week two of Pinteresting Wednesdays - Halloween Edition!! 

This week I am Pinning about Halloween decorations and parties!! So let's get started :)

Spooky DIY Decorations

I really loved all three of these unique looking decorations and they were super easy!! I really liked the black candles because they are flame-less and you make them out of paper towel rolls. Talk about cool!!

Potion Bottles

Black Candles

Floating Ghosts

Fun with Pumpkins!!

I found some really cute pumpkin designs and ideas. I could've posted ALL of them here but didn't...lol Here are some that I really liked.

Spray-paint pumpkins

Modge Podge Pumpkins

Carve BOTH sides of the pumpkin!

For the pumpkin that is carved on both sides, you just etch the side that says "Boo!", don't cut all the way through. :) Also, I am on the look out for fake pumpkins so I can modge podge them and have them last all year! It would make me cry to throw out such a cute pumpkin! lol

Getting Yourself Ready!! 
(for the Ladies)

Be sure that you add to the fun by getting all dressed up for your party, even if it's just some fun makeup or painting your nails!

The Party: Fun for Kids

I loved the idea to make Haunted Houses, I think I will have to do that one day whether it's a party or not. And the other link has a lot of game ideas!

Make Haunted Houses

Lots of Games

The Party: Fun Food

I found some fun and easy snacks for your party, Candy Corn Bark, a Sweet & Salty Halloween Treat and a yummy Pumpkin dip. mmmmm

The Party: Fun Drinks

Now for the drinks, I found some creepy adult drinks but I mainly wanted to share some ideas on presenting cauldron drinks. The first was, as always, Dry Ice; it is perfect for a cauldron. But the other really cute idea that I found was to place your cauldron over a "fire", which is really just some branches, yellow & orange tissue paper and Christmas lights. How ingenious is THAT?!

Make it Burn!! ;)

Creepy Jello Shots: Adults Only

Dry Ice: How to use it

Well, that concludes my Halloween editions of Pinteresting Wednesdays! I hope between the costumes and the party decorations and food you got some fun ideas for Halloween!! If you are having a party be sure to be safe, have a lot of fun and don't forget the dry ice!! That alone makes any punch bowl spooky enough for Halloween night! ;)

O How Pinteresting!! 10/12/11

Pinteresting Wednesdays actually stems from The Vintage Apple blog. The image above links to that blog. Check it out!

Here are some of my favorite pins from this week.

I am so proud of myself for two weeks in a row I have actually made something that I found on Pinterest!! YAY the time is Not Totally wasted! *giggle* We had some friends over on Sunday, my hubby made his yummy shredded pork street tacos and we decided to pair it with a Mexican'ish dessert, Sopapilla Cheesecake. mmmmm They were really easy and really, really yummy!

As we all heard, Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple, died this week. I don't know about anyone else but I didn't even know that he had cancer. So it was a real shock to me. After his passing, there was a video running around Facebook that was his Commencement Address at Stanford in 2005. The first time I saw the video in my News Feed I thought "Commencement Address?! I don't want to watch this" and then I saw it pop up again and decided to watch it. lol I clicked on it and noticed it was 15 minutes long!! I thought "Ugh." But I watched it and now, I would recommend the video to everyone! Steve lived a very interesting life and he gave a lot of wisdom in that address. Click HERE for the video. Trust me, it is worth the 15 minutes.

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life."- Steve Jobs

This week, I found quite a few pins that were kid related. I don't have kids yet but I pinned them so I could remember them for later.

First was the "Time-Out" jar. The idea is when your child is being unruly shake the jar and have them sit and watch it until the glitter settles. The solution is thick so it takes about 5 mins for the glitter to settle. In theory it works, I'll have to test it someday. :)

Time Out Jar Instructions

Next was the Remedy website. 7 Home Remedies for different ailments. She had some really good, natural ideas for things from ear infections to teething.

DIY Febreeze

Last was an Idea for "Monster Spray". I thought what a simple idea to get rid of the bad monsters plus leave a soothing smell in the child's room while they go to sleep. A while ago I found a DIY for Febreeze on Pinterest which might be perfect for this "Monster Spray". :)

I found so many funny things on Pinterest this week, I have to share a few that made me crack up laughing!!! The first two you can click to enlarge. :)

I thought the last one was particularly hilarious because someone had also added "And the pins putting -into- little groups thing" as the description of the Pin...LMAO





And last I wanted to end with a little bit of Wednesday Wisdom. Remember that "Hope is the little voice you hear whisper 'maybe' when it seems the entire world is shouting 'No!'".
