Mummy's Night Out!
This year Kyla (Funky Polkadot Giraffe) and I decided we should have a Halloween shindig.
Kyla designed this fabulous invitation!
We invited a few of our fellow crafty bloggers and friends!
Kyla made these fancy schmancy name tags!
The house was super spooky with spiderwebs and skeletons.
I made a fun wreath with dollar store pumpkins!
My super-crafty SIL helped me make this awesome Halloween subway art!
And my son had to have this ugly guy from the dollar store!
Loved these cute snack buckets from Target's Dollar Spot!
Everyone brought a little potluck and we feasted!
Craft Time!!
Tasha teaches a fabulous tutorial on making fabric pumpkins!
I decided we should make them at the party!
Aren't they so adorable?!?!
Kyla made these fun Halloweeny headbands for all our guests!
And I made some appliqued pumpkin towels for the winners of the best desserts!
It was so fun, and I can't wait to do it again!

Mmm...mmm...Mondays: PESTO!!
This is me with my awesome sister Tricia.
She makes the best pesto ever.
The greatest thing is that she married the greatest basil raising man EVER!
I just happened to be at their house at the last big harvest.
Oh yeah, it was my lucky day!
And now it's yours!
Here is the recipe for my sister's fab pesto!
Pesto Sauce
2 C Fresh Basil Leaves
3 Garlic Cloves
2 Handfuls Pinenuts
1/2 C Olive Oil
3/4 C Parmesan Cheese
3 TBS Butter
Mix all ingredients in blender or food processor.
I love it tossed with hot pasta, in a cold pasta salad, on sandwiches, or just slathered on shepherd's bread!
ENJOY!!
You're welcome. :)

SoCal Social!!
Wow!! I have been waiting to blog about this for a couple of crazy weeks now!
Does life ever get in the way of all your fun?!?
Anyway, so 2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to a blogger meet-and-greet and swaggariffic event in Orange, the SoCal Social!!
We started our day with a fab swag walk through Old Towne Orange!
Look at all the goodies we collected during the day!
The sponsors were AWESOME!!
The stores were all so cute!! Lots of antiques and one of a kind treasures!
I got to snuggle the 2-week-old little darling of my friend Kara-Noel from Eli's Lids. I was in HEAVEN!!
After all the yumminess, Mark Montano gave us a bio/Q&A of his crafty adventures!
He was so super nice and genuine, and I was THRILLED to hang out with him all afternoon!
He even brought us new copies of his new book, and signed them!!
We were SO LUCKY!
Make sure and check out his website! He has his own craft house!! Jealous.
No party would be complete without a PHOTO BOOTH!!
Shutter Nonsense was so fun!!
That's ME, Kyla (Funky Polkadot Giraffe), Kara-Noel (Eli's Lids.)
Thanks to everyone for such an awesome afternoon!!
Can't wait for next year!!
