Simple Halloween Wreath

I wanted a simple Halloween wreath to hang in my kitchen this year.  I saw something similar last year and wanted to make it.  Of course, it only took me 365 days to actually put the thought into action.  Better late that never!

(hard to tell in the picture, but the ribbon is black lace wired ribbon and the bats are sparkly!!)

You've Been Booed! {free printable}

I've been living in my home for almost 5 years.  I know most of my neighbors.  We have a talk-over-the-fence relationship mainly.  I think everyone is so busy with their jobs and families and making sure they can pay their bills that it's not the block party/kids riding trikes in the street/game night at the neighbors kind of place, really.  Or maybe it's just ME and these are my excuses.  But to try and get the holiday spirit going around the neighborhood, I decided to try out a neighbor treat sharing experiment.  Halloween is right around the corner, and we have lots of kids in our neighborhood, so what better way to share the neighborly love than to start a You've Been Booed in our neighborhood??  I looked up the wording I wanted and made my own signs using Silhouette Studio software.  I hope no one in my neighborhood sees this, or they'll know I started this!  But then again, no one in my neighborhood will ever read this, ha ha.  I really hope people keep this going.  How fun would it be to slowly see all these BOO! signs appearing in windows of homes throughout our streets??  If anything, two families are getting some yummy treats tonight.  And I can feel like I did a little to do my part.   

BOO!

All You Need is {Chevron} Love

Confession:

I.
Love.
Chevron.
Stripes.

If my husband would let me, I'd paint our house in Chevron stripes.  Then my car.  Then my face.  Then his face.  Then mow the lawn in a Chevron pattern.

Get the idea?

I don't care if this pattern is going of style...has already gone out of style...or soon will go out of style...I heart it and don't see that changing anytime soon.

Last Christmas (yep - LAST Christmas), I ordered gray & white Chevron wrapping paper to line the inside of my hutch (thanks to the idea from Tatertots & Jello and her amazing aqua kitchen).  Sad to say, I haven't ever used that paper!  9 months later, here I am, finally getting around to it.  Whatever.  It still looks awesome, and I just love it a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle too much.

These are the newest additions to my laundry room.  My laundry is teeny tiny (really, it's just a cabinet, washer & dryer and the door to the backyard).  But I'm still trying to make it fun and more like HOME.  The husband and I are CONSTANTLY searching for our keys EVERYWHERE.  In such a teeny home, you'd think we'd find them easily, but NOPE.  I picked up this cute shelf/key holder at DI for probably $1 and, with a little poppy yellow paint and my Chevron wrapping paper, it is now our key holder!  We've had it for 2 days, and I think this is the first time both of our keys have even been on it!  Ha ha.

I designed this sign in Silhouette Studio.  Paul, John, George & Ringo are basically family in our home, and what better way to be greeted when coming inside than by the 5 greatest words ever put into a song.

All you need is LOVE (and a little Chevron stripes)!
