My latest muse is FALL!
So, I guess, for those who know me it is no surprise I get way.too.excited for holiday season!
(mostly so I can bake copious amounts of unhealthy sweets and justify it by the cold weather)
Once my birthday is over (Labor Day Weekend) I immediately try to hold my temptation in beginning to decorate for Halloween. Halloween to be honest is probably my least favorite holiday surprisingly enough. I know girls just love to dress in a skimpy "nurse" costume and take a billion pictures for social media but it was never really my thing. What I love about holidays, and Halloween in particular is all the fun arts and crafts you can do!
For instance every year I try and make my own costume. Some are more dramatic while others are simple.
I have never taken any kind of sewing or designing class but I decided one year to buy a hot glue gun and fabric and make a mermaid costume. Yes... I put fabric together...with a hot glue gun.
While other years I just stuck a few cut out papers on some clothes I have and call it Pebbles.. Or Minnie.
But without a doubt I would ALWAYS have a group of friends over for a pumpkin carving party! It was my favorite thing ever. Despite the fact my friends had not carved a pumpkin since they were in diapers they knew how much it meant to me and came to my BYOP party (yes that means Bring Your Own Pumpkin..genius I know), The night was filled with pumpkin flavored desserts and Halloween bingo.. and finger foods (another play on words that got me giggling)
Anyways, this year I have a little less to work with but that isn't stopping me. I currently had an arts and crafts day and left candy corn filled mason jars all across my apartment and bought a few little knick knacks including this awesome sign (that barley even fits in my room). As I plan my New York pumpkin carving party I am finding ways to jump my fire escape to my neighbors roof in order to properly carve pumpkins there.... since...well.. my current apartment doesn't even have a living room (oh, New York real estate).
So if you are here in the big apple and finding yourself lonely during the holidays please reach out to me!! I am ALWAYS doing something festive and if you think this is over the top...you should see me during CHRISTMAS TIME :P
If you haven't already been creeped out with my overly nerdy obsession with holidays here is a cherry on top of the cake. I decided to talk my roommate into going to the haunted hayride with our face painted.. probably my worst idea yet since I was already really scared AND people thought I was a part of the show and kept on trying to scare me.
