Sooo September just flew by! And hollow's eve is on its way... I've been meaning to post pictures of projects I've got going on, but the days have just disappeared! I am definitely getting *excited* about Halloween! Who doesn't love costumes, candy, and haunted houses? Everyone's a kid, even for just the month. I have an October tradition of a halloween-esk movie marathon including all the movies I own or must see that happen to be Halloween-related, costumey, or have even an inkling of imagination... even if it is a far stretch. Funny thing is My list doesn't include the scary flicks :) I usually try to watch a few a week thru out the month, see if I can catch any on tv, and you should watch these movies too because they're great!
On my list this year:
1. Hocus Pocus! - I love this! It's always on when the trick-or-treaters are going around.
2. Casper
3. Practical Magic - This is one of my favorites, I watch it all the time anyway
4. Bewitched - I just love Nicole Kidman and she's adorable in this
5. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
6. Edward Scissorhands
7. Hook - " Bangorang!!! "
8. The Harry Potter series
9. Beetlejuice
10. Phantom of the Opera - Realized recently that the Phantom is Gerard Butler
11. Corpse Bride
12. Sweeney Todd
13. And of course! Any excuse to watch Twilight!!! - I watch this all the time, but at least in October I can claim it's a Halloween thing!

***And I thought I could leave it at 13, alas there is one more movie I'll add because I'm such a fan of 80's movies: Teen Witch. If you have Netflicks, or patience to watch it on youtube, its cute.
13 Days of Halloween!
Advent Calendar
It's made of toilet paper
rolls, scrap paper, lots of
different ribbons, tissue
paper, and the new
Thickers puffy stickers
for numbers.
You can stuff little goodies
inside the scrolls like toys
or candy, and wrap them
up in the tissue, so kids
(or myself!) have a little
treat everyday :)

I love the spiderweb
paper and the mini
skull and crossbones.
I later added a few
sporatic dates on every
3 scrolls or so for a
quick reference to
the calendar days
(Oct 19-31) for when
the "13 days til" was.
I love advent calendars period, but I loved the idea of this wall hanging. I've got my Christmas one already made!-- which is where I used the idea in the first place (and I had more fun with the Christmas papers) but I got to thinking it could be used for halloween and even birthdays! So I started saving TP rolls, and paper towel rolls, and begging several friends to save them for me as well (thank you!) and some how accumulated over 77 rolls. But hey! It's recycling at its finest!
WOW - I *love* your advent calendar idea. I may have to make one just like it leading up to Thanksgiving and fill it with little treats to be thankful for.
