Green Child Magazine: Fall Edition: Recycled Halloween Ghosts

Are you enjoying October? Eben and I decorated the house a few days ago – it was fun to see all of the recycled decorations we have made over the year. One of my favorite’s were these flying recycled ghosts – they were featured in the fall issue of Green Child Magazine. I am always so impressed with Green Child Magazine – have you checked out the fall issue? It is jam packed with fantastic information, projects, ideas and inspiration – I am really enjoying it and so happy to be a part of it. Grab your copy here.

It’s here! October – my favorite month of all. Eben made me promise that we could get all of the Halloween decorations out of storage tonight. I can’t wait to sip a hot pumpkin latte, listen to A Nightmare before Christmas and decorate with my favorite person. Perfection.

How are you spending the first day of October?
