Here is my Oct. Calendar. I am just loving my new board and the fact that I can decorate it every month! I know that I am weird, but it is like my very own bulletin board. I can see my whole month at a glance and I love that it is a CUTE glance!

I wish that my calendar were really this empty, but that is only wishful thinking! :)

I love to decorate for Halloween, but I usually will not put any decorations out until October, I cheated a little bit this year because I had one of my granddaughters here and I let her help me do some of the decorating last week. But I decorated my front porch today and I am excited to share it with you later this week. In the fall, I always seem to do a lot more crafts and sewing and this year has been no different.

I have some exciting news to share with you today! I am going to be showing how to make these candy jars on Good Things Utah

on Monday, Oct. 8th at 10 am. I would love for you to join me and watch the tutorial of how to put these cute little babies together!

But for all my readers, here is the tutorial for you to make an “Eye” Candy Jar like these that we made at our craft retreat. They are so easy to make and yet are so darling! The thing that I love about these jars is that you can eat the candy after the holiday is done and then fill it up again for the next holiday! Apparently they make “Peeps” for most every holiday! Something that I didn’t know because I don’t like to eat them.
