Another Reason we love Ella B & Sweet Things

Monday September 13, 2010

Last Friday we had a chance to have our kiddos and many other cuties play dress up on a photoshoot shot by the fabulous Ella B, where they modeled the newest Sweet Things fashions and Holiday costumes. The kids had a great time dressing up and posing for the camera. Ella B captured some great moments while Nicole from Sweet Things hosted an overall fun day for the kids as well as sweet designs. If you are looking for unique and one of a kind Halloween costumes, make sure you check out the Sweet Things shop!!!!

Spooktacular Free Finds

Holiday Party Planning is well under way....We can not wait for you to see our October Halloween themed party play date. The Blog World is full of great finds, so many amazing printables, tablesacapes and designs. We shared with you yesterday the Adorable Printables we are using from Tweedle Dee Designs. Today we wanted to share with you these FREE Spooktacular finds.

Don't you just love these Luminaries from the Clickable Party? We think these are Super Savvy since they can not only be used as a Luminarie but also a Bag, or even a Framed Piece of Halloween decor for your home.

Have you ever been "Boo'd"???? If not, this FREE printable let's you "Boo" your neighbor and start the ghostly fun in your neighborhood. Place this Boorific sign from Andersruff designs on a neighbors door and let the fun begin.!!!! Start the tradition in your neighborhood.

Happy Boo-ing !!!!

Fall is in the Air

Well, here in Southern California our weather sure has changed (at least for this week). We went from 107 degree temps last week to cool and comfortable 70 this week. All I can think is Fall is in the air and my 33 weeks of preggoness sure appreciates that! Fall is definitely my favorite time of year. So when I start to see all the Fall and Halloween decor go out in the stores, I feel like a kid in a candy store.

In preparing for the next Savvy Moms Playdate, a Halloween playdate of course, Bri and I have been searching for the savviest, spookiest, and yummiest finds out there. We came across the cutest Halloween printables from Tweedle Dee Designs that we just had to have. Visit her blog for great party ideas and creative baking tips.

See how Savvy we are with these fun Halloween printables when we post our Halloween Playdate at the end of September.
