Pinterest inspired Halloween goody bag!!


I'm sure you've all seen this on Pinterest, but just in case you haven't or need a last minute Halloween goody bag idea, here it is
....Halloween s'mores in a bag!!

(what you need:  small Hershey's bars, graham crackers, holiday peeps, bags and whatever you want to use to trim them out)

  The best thing:   you can swap out the peep for any holiday!!








HAPPY HALLOWEEN,
Mariaelena

TIME TO CLIP THE HYDRANGEAS!!

Hi friends...
It's been a super busy weekend and before I got settled in for the night,  I needed to clip the hydrangeas from our tree...if you miss your shot you end up with crunchy, brown clippings...so get to it so you can enjoy their beauty the rest of the year...:)

Let the fall clipping begin...

When I was done clipping, I tossed them onto the bench and then thought...grab the camera...they look so pretty right there...lol...
they will actually be taken out of that basket and put in all different spots in the house,  but for now I had a little photography fun...

The colors are amazing right now...but I mean RIGHT NOW...if you wait even a day too long, you may be sorry....:(




Maybe I should leave them just like this....
Simply beautiful hydrangeas....

HAPPY FALL...
xo, Mariaelena
