Random Bits

I haven't done an Etsy Finds post lately. Here are some very lovely things I have found on Etsy in the past couple of months. As I usually say... if I had endless money I would buy 1 of each of these items... maybe 2. :)

I have been thinking about Halloween lately. I am wondering what the girls are going to want to be this year. This might be my last year to pick out Zoe's costume... I might take advantage of that. I would love to find her a really cute Owl costume. She Loves owls! But I have yet to find a cute one, and I am not up to making a costume.

Angelina will likely be something like Hannah Montana or something with a long flowing dress... maybe a fairy. I am unsure. She is pretty easy, though. I am sure she already knows. We haven't discussed this - yet. :)

Do you know what your kids are going to be for Halloween yet? Do you celebrate Halloween? My husband LOVES Halloween... I am hoping that we have a little party this year. That would be fun! We live in a new neighborhood, so it will be fun to see all the kids coming for candy and see what the different costumes are. That's my favorite part... other than getting my own kids dressed up and watching them have a blast.

Regarding the book club. Note that we will be reading only ONE book per month. I have gotten emails stating that keeping up with my reading is impossible. LOL! Don't worry!! It's only one book a month, not 10! :) So, join in!
Let me put it this way. If we are reading a 500 page book over a 30 day period, you would only have to read 17 pages a day to finish the book in time. And I have been compiling a list of books we will read... most are less than 500 pages.

Also. I will announce the following month's book 1 week before the new month. Maybe sooner depending if there will be a HarperTeen giveaway or not. Not all of the books are HarperTeen. But you will be given enough advance notice to go to the Bookstore and get your book.

If you have any questions, please email me: shealynn at gmail.com
If you'd like to sign up, please email me as well! We would love for you to join! Remember to grab the book club button [on my right side bar], and copy and paste it on your blog! It would be great to get a bunch of people to join. So far we have about 10 people. Fantastic! Thanks to all of you for the emails letting me know you want to join! More info coming!

Have a fabulous day!!

I LOVE Halloween! (but, we don't do any sort of "scary" stuff)

This year, I think we're going to go to "Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween @ Disney World. :)

This year I'm gonna be in the US for Halloween, so I'm hoping to give away candy AND get dressed up!

I'm still thinking about the book club, I'm such a bookworm and love reading, but I don't know if I'll be able to keep up if work gets too busy and with my trip next month... maybe I'll jump in later on!
