Halloween Popcorn Pail

Hey Bleeps! Happy Friday to you! I have {another} Halloween project to share. Two years ago, you could not pay me to create Halloween-themed projects. Today, that's obviously a different story. I love life! As time moves along, so do people - in their careers, families, and even creative ways. I'm very surprised that I like creating Halloween projects and really love the color combination of purple, orange, green, and black (with a "pop" of yellow here)! So, instead of fighting that creative urge, I embrace it! There are still some other holidays that I'm not too keen about creating for, but I'm sure in due time my likes and dislikes can change.

Here, it's a holiday weekend so we have Monday off of work *YAAAAAAY*! HOWEVER, I have to work Friday and Sunday...for McArthur. Yep, he's my boss {sometimes}. We have two weddings to photograph this weekend...TWO! I didn't realize how popular labor day weekend weddings were until this year. I'm super grateful for the opportunities to capture these special loving moments and for Saturday and Monday to regroup! We'll definitely need those two days of downtime. I'll be sure to share my favorite shots taken by myself from the two events. I'll be using my new camera for the first time and I'm a bit nervous {again}.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend and do something fun! I know I'll probably nap and make some projects on my two days off! Here's more about this fun Halloween Popcorn Pail that you can give as treats at child Halloween parties, Halloween gifts, or even switch it up for a movie-theme party favor!
