Spooky Halloween decor!

I just love my little decorations! The idea came off of Pinterest.com , I need to make more though! They are a little spread out for me, I want my spooky town to be more full!! I got the little houses and people at the dollar tree and the light posts were a pack of 4 for a dollar, and of course the spider web stuff I used as fog for $1. Next I went to Home Depot and got some cheap black matte spraypaint for just over a dollar, took it all home and spray painted the little ugly cheesy Christmas houses transforming them into a spooky village! I put a little play doh over the little peoples faces and spray painted them too! 


I had a lot of spider web stuff left over so I decorated my dining room light with it and some little black creepy spiders! 


I also tried making a cool spooky hanging decoration out of cut trash bags to hang on my front porch, but the wind was blowing and I was standing on a wobbly railing, and I had my 5 year old helping me with the tape which didn't work out so well, so I will not share that mess of a photo with you, it is worse than you may think lol. Have I had the time to take it down yet though? The answer is no. *face-palm* maybe I will do that tomorrow so I don't embarrass the neighborhood! 

How are you decorating for Halloween or fall?

Charity Pinup Calendar

So over the summer, my friend and I began our dream careers as Pinup Photographers! We work like two peas in a pod, and we decided to make a calendar for charity - we chose the Navy~Marine Corps Relief society because her husband is in the Navy and my husband is a Marine, and the Relief Society is such an amazing program, helping out Sailors and Marines financially and otherwise! We did a calendar girl casting call, tallied the votes, and got our ladies months and outfits assigned! This Wednesday will be our first calendar shoot, Miss May, followed by Thursday for Miss September! I am so excited to get a move on with this calendar! But I have to let you in on a probably well-known secret... when ya bring military wives together, there will always be some that have issues with SOMETHING. If it's not this, it's that! Let me tell ya, it is sooo frustrating, my business partner and I are trying to do a kind thing for a charity close to our hearts, and while we have many supporters, there are always those who find a stink out of every situation. Do yall know any people like that? I just can't wait to get the calendar put together and donate!! My heart feels so full knowing my business partner and I can make a difference and give back! We are putting our heart and souls into this calendar. :)

On a seperate but kinda relevant note, about 2 weeks ago I messed my computer up some kinda aweful! I truely don't understand why I have such bad luck with electronics, I swear I don't do anything to them, they just hate me! My husbands co-worker said he could fix it up that day for us, little did he know how far gone it was!! Muahahahaha! Just kidding. But it took him over a week to get it figured out, I got it back yesterday and it is still a little silly. I got the new Photoshop CS6 put on it, and it keeps locking me out today! I really want to get these photos edited for a paid pinup shoot customer, I may end up having to go over to Blue Velvet's house to finish them up if my laptop has to go back in to the e-doc!


Just wanted to share with yall what I have been up to lately! :)
