Well... the hearts are gone...

The hearts have officially left the building.. 

but we have pictures 

to prove that they were here..

They showed up on presents...

for nieces..

In junior mint boxes.. 

possibly bought by oneself for oneself.. 

and not for sharing...

On garlands...

across fruit platters.. 

And sprinkled on whipped cream..

for dipping.. 

Now that the hearts are gone..

we will be searching for four-leaf clovers

and leprechaun foot prints.. 

hooray!

Halloween Garland..

Here's a little look at my first 

Halloween project so far..

a little jack o'lantern garland.

It's a pretty easy project and can also be used to

make an ornament garland for Christmas!

First,

I just cut strips of paper 

they all should be the same size

and the size will vary depending on how big 

you want your pumpkins to be.

After that, 

punch a hole in either side of the strips

I have a small hole punch which works

with the size of brads that I used.

And I forgot to take pictures of the next few steps.. 

but..

You just put about 8 strips together 

and put a brad through the holes in the top

and the holes in the bottom.

When you start to fan out the strips

they will form a circle.

And then you can draw faces on them!

I strung them together on baker's twine.. 

I just wrapped the string around the brads.

Aren't they cute!

To fill in the blank space I punched out some 

scalloped paper and folded it over 

then glued it together.

And ta-da. 

a Halloween Garland.. 

fit for any fireplace or shelf.
