twix pie 300; Why Dont You... October 30 & 31… use up leftover Halloween candy? My family always has ridiculous amounts of candy left over by the end of Halloween, and it generally just ends up sitting around for quite some time. I think these 10 Recipe Ideas for Halloween Candy from Real Simple are genius and a great way to use up that extra candy this weekend!

dsc 0264; Why Dont You... October 30 & 31… make a canvas calendar? I was instantly smitten when I saw this canvas calendar over on design*sponge a while ago. Although it’s a semi-difficult DIY project, I think it would be perfect to begin now for the holiday season. It’s such a heartfelt, personal gift that would be a stunning decoration anywhere.

Take 2 Wednesday: Walking Pretty

by Vanessa on October 27, 2010

This week’s Take 2 Tuesday is actually coming to you on a Wednesday! Sorry about the delay! It also marks the last week featuring cards from our Think Pink Collection in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I love the pairing of this Think Pink Card from Ann Scott Design with this picture of an adorable puppy on a pink leash. How much cuter can they get?

As sad as I am that Halloween will be over this weekend, I’m thrilled that pumpkins will continue to be around through Thanksgiving.  Not only am I a huge fan of decorating the house with baby pumpkins and gourds, I also love the flavor and can’t wait to try out some of these recipes after I’m done using them for decoration!
