oh you know... a few changes!

First off, I would like to thank Lauren from Blue Lux Studios for my blog over haul! This is the second design that Lauren has done for me. I gave her the color scheme and a few of the patterns that I wanted, and this is what came to life! I LOVE it and it was a must needed face lift for Lovin' My Life! Thanks again Lauren, its perfect!

Also, there is another big change in my life...

I have decided to cut my hair

AND add color!

This inspiration came from my none other than pinterest! I'm very fortunate that my hairdresser Jenny is also on this lovely little site and is able to see my "hairspiration" board and this cut

I will be the first to admit that I don't deal well with changes typically, however these are two changes that I will gladly welcome into my life!

Top 2 Tuesday - Halloween Crafts/Decor/Party Ideas AND a New Blog Design

Top 2 Tuesday

Halloween or Fall crafts/decor/party ideas

I have done a few DIY projects this year for Halloween
[for some reason I was totally into doing a few DIY projects this year]

1. Polka Dot Pumpkins
I used a carvable pumpkin so I only had to do this project once -rather than once a year
To carve the pumpkins - just use an apple corer [careful because if you push to hard you will have a MUCH larger hole than just the corer - let me tell you I can speak from experience!]
i put marks on the pumpkin to where i needed to punch holes
and i cut a hole in the bottom of the pumpkin and inserted a battery operated tea light

2. Young Trick-Or-Treaters Treat
i used a drill and made holes and then inserted into all of suckers
i once again used a carvable pumpkin so I can re-use this next year

OTHER DIYS
