I blogged about them a while back and have since then taken note of the endless creative ideas and variety of uses (even if you’re not getting married!) around blogland. Boy-oh-boy, do I have a list for you, my dears!  From decorating boxes, packaging  and invites — inspiration abounds. Here is 1 of 4 installments.  Enjoy!

Have a great and wonderful Halloween weekend, my dears. Enjoy the parties, costumes, and of course, candy!!! Also, don’t forget to change your clocks back this Saturday for Daylight Savings Time.

Love, love, love this freebie set! Clever Someday’s 09 KutUps is a dingbat font for die cutters that has all the coolest shapes you can use for instant labels, monogram backgrounds, and more. The best part, no worries if you only have MS Word or PowerPoint available. The font works just as well sans any fancy graphics editing software.  You can download, install the font, and type away!

A small request from creator Kay of Clever Someday:  if you enjoy this font, please consider paying it forward by donating to Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Thank you!

OMG, these photos totally had me at burlap and mercury glass.  Swoon, swoon! What an absolutely gorgeous and inspiring DIY by Julie over at EAB Designs. Using a do-it-yourself silkscreen printing kit, she created these custom burlap table runners for her dining room table. I could actually see these do double-duty as table numbers at a reception. More pics and resource info at Julie’s blog. Check it out!
