Confession time: Despite my love of parties, I never go OTT on costumes for Halloween. And I hate those shop-bought "monstrosities" costumes that you only wear once. But I DO like dressing the part for any party or celebration. So I tend to opt for some funky tee-shirts, crazy tights, makeup or a little black dress ( like in this post ).  And almost every time, I reach our for animal ear headbands to complete the look (the mean girls "I'm a mouse, duh!" phrase comes to mind...). 

Happy Friday, party lovers!  This week has been intense with thunderstorms and internet issues for us...but at least we're not in the path of tornado Matthew, so we're counting our blessings and sparing thoughts and prayers for those touched by the freak weather.

Okay, so black electrical tape has become one of my fav go-to crafty materials lately. You may have seen the striped boxes I create for my office here ? Well, I was so inspired, that I decided to spook-up my Halloween party balloons using black electrical tape!  They are perfect as party decorations, but also make fun photo booths or even as part of a funky costume.
