DIY Bride

… or “You Go Ghoul!” (I couldn’t decide on a subject line.)

Today feels like Fall. It’s gloriously delicious and cozy and wonderful. There’s a teeny, tiny bit of rain this morning, just enough to clean the air and give the neighborhood that crisp, fresh Autumn scent.
Looking at the calendar (and the latest round of magazines to arrive in the mail) Halloween is nearly upon us. Only 10 days to go! (I don’t care what you say. Halloween begins on October 1st and lasts all month.) I’m so excited, I can’t stand it.

Halloween is a major holiday at the Casa de DIY Bride. I’ve already been planning this year’s Halloween crafts for a few weeks now. I’m seriously counting the seconds until I can bust out the decorations.

Last year I kinda missed out on the whole Halloween experience. The first shoot for the DIY book was in mid-October so I was busy frantically prepping for that, plus an extended trip to Albany, plus actually writing the book which was far more work than I ever could’ve imagined. So, yeah, last October kinda blew by without much of a celebration here. It was a sad, sad moment in my Halloween history. <sniff> I’ve vowed for this year to be different.

The reason I’m telling you this is that DIY Bride is going Halloween-ish for the entire month of October. There will be a mix of crafty wedding and Halloween stuff to celebrate the season (and to justify my spending on new craft stuff…). I’m really keen on sharing my love of the ‘ween with you and seeing what ideas and inspiration we can all come up with.

Until then, I’ll be on a short blog break. I’m feeling kinda burnt out and need to step back, recharge, and regroup. See ya in a week!
