A wire cake plate ended up being the perfect home for a pile of pumpkins and gourds...definitely the favorite decor detail in my house this fall.

Can you believe Halloween is TODAY?! How quickly the month of October has flown by! With that said, we thought today would be the perfect time to pay tribute to some spooky, fabulous Halloween decor we have received this fall from our readers!

First up, two projects by the amazingly talented Kerry Lynn.

"Skeleton Bottle and Centerpiece"

"Boo Boquet"

I love these ideas! In addition to being cool, crafty and totally cute,  I love the vintage charm... and the candy corn is so eye-catching! Yum!

Next up, these Hauntingly awesome tags turned Halloween invitations by Beth Perry.

Those Tim Holtz Halloween stamps are just the cutest little halloween decor ever! Tutorial posted on her blog.

Thank you, ladies for sharing your beautiful artwork with us! Don't forget to share your art in the Cartwheels flickr group for your chance to be featured on the site!

Happy Haunting!

Weekend Photo Challenge:: Accessories

I have a thing for accessories, I do. I love shoes, scarves, purses, bags, jewelry....all of it. Unlike clothes, accessories always fit. They can make you feel good, change your mood instantly and allows you to express yourself. I like all kinds of jewelry but necklaces might just be my favorite. I like vintage, family heirlooms, discount rack, handmade, hand-me-downs...you name it. Chunky, petite, colorful, plain, long and short; I own it. Look closely, I even have macaroni necklaces made by the kids and when they remind me, I will wear them. This weekend I challenge you to photograph your favorite accessories. Shoes? Boots? Rings? I want to see them. Remember to add your photos to the Flickr group so we can all check them out.

Nothing, not new pink fall boots or her mama jumping around making a fool of herself or a rockin' new flea market yoyo quilt can grab this girl's attention long enough to get her to look at the camera. Shoot, I'd be willing to offer a cash bribe if I thought it would work. But she's having none of it.
