My Kind of Halloween Costume

Eeek!  Take a look at this dotty Halloween transformation that I found while surfing the web this week.

Now that's my kind of costume! :)

More pictures here.

Have a wonderful Thursday, friends.

Organize in Style!

Just look what I found while browsing the web the other day!  I've seen this type of organizer before (to store shoes, clothes, etc.), but never in polka dots! :)

This organizer would be perfect to sort the week's outfits for your child or even you!  I also like the idea of using something like this to organize a baby's diaper items when dresser/counter space is limited.

The possibilities are endless!

Do any of you have a system for organizing your clothes each week?  Or are you one who stands in front of your closet each morning with no clue what to wear?

Have a wonderful Wednesday, friends.

Crunchy Clean specializes in homemade clothes detergent with all natural ingredients, and it really does get clothes clean!  I bought some of Ashley's detergent a few weeks ago, and the first load I washed with it was particularly dirty (rags used to clean windows, floors, etc.).  I was pleasantly surprised at the detergent's effectiveness, and I love the scent that I chose -- China Rain.

Ashley has over 50 scents available, so you're sure to find a detergent that you love!

Do the Monster Mash

 

With Halloween quickly approaching, monsters are sprouting up everywhere.  Did you know that during this week (October 20) in 1962, the hit song "Monster Mash" reached the number 1 spot on the Billboard charts and stayed there for two weeks? 

In honor of this song, let's look at some dotty monsters from Etsy:

1. Polka Dot Doll Monster from Mini Monster Baby Boutique
2. Fairy Spot - The Emotionals from Fluffy Flowers
3. Fleece Monster Scarf from Ghoulie Girls
4. Fuse Jelly Monster from Cotton Monster
5. Green Monster Card/Tag Set from A Forest Frolic
.................................................................

He's not polka dotted, but my favorite monster of all time is Mike Wasowski from Disney Pixar's Monsters, Inc.

His one eye cracks me up.

 

P.S.  Stay tuned for a "clean" giveaway tomorrow! :)
