October Sponsor Intros!!!

Hello Everyone!!

I'm here to introduce you to our October Sponsors! They are all really great and I highly encourage you to visit each and everyone of them. I have had such a great time working with them and I'm sure you'll love them too :)

Each of the girls will tell you a little bit about themselves and what their favorite Halloween decoration is. As well as any promotions they may have going on! Enjoy!







Corina's Corner

My name is Corina Sorensen.  I am from beautiful Colorado, but currently live in Utah where I am attending Brigham Young University.  I am studying Technology Engineering Education.  I have been married for just over a year, to my best friend and the best looking man around.  My husband is also still a student at BYU studying Manufacturing Engineering.  We're both just about done with school, right on the edge of starting "real life."  

My favorite Halloween decoration would have to be the beautiful Fall Wreath that is on my front door.

I have a discount code active for the first 2 weeks of October (the code is OCTOBER) for 20% off everything in my shop.

Bartering Blogger


Hey there! My name is Faith and I blog at Simplicity - my life in {mostly} photographs about my life as wife, mom to five kids and online photography teacher. On my blog you'll find a weekly photography challenge, the occasional giveaway, photography tips, trick and tutorials and lots of inspiration! I'm currently teaching an online basics of SLR photography class - or how to shoot in manual mode and what aperture, shutter, ISO and all that stuff means. My next class is in November - the basics of photography. No fancy camera required. I'm also in the middle of developing my newest class - Simply Style - photography tips for the online business owner. It will launch in February and I'm really excited about it. 


About Halloween: I grew up in a very conservative family so we didn't celebrate Halloween, except to sit in the back of the house and read books by flashlight - so it would look like no one was home. Now that I have kids we still don't do much for Halloween but we have a tradition started when our kids were all sick with a pretty nasty virus and couldn't go out to the Fall Festivals. We hide candy around the house, turn all the lights off and let the kids find it using flashlights.

Hi, my name is Kiley M and I am in love with film. I hope to someday make a career of this love affair. A friend once told me that my art was very "raw", and from that the Let It Be Raw Photography blog was born. I write about photos, the art and craft of printing and picture taking, books, inspirations, trials, mistakes, and anything else that I can somehow relate back to photography. 


My favorite Halloween decoration is the family heirloom skull with blinking red eyes. It's not really an heirloom, and I kind of took it from my parents rather than them passing it on to me, but never-the-less I will pass it on!








My name is Jacqueline. At Chez Mukweto, I blog about the various things that make up what I call motherhood. My Goal with my blog is to uplift ,help, encourage, and share things I have found helpful. I want people to have renewed Hope  after reading my blog. 

I am not one for Halloween Decor but the closest thing to it would be this awesome wreath I plan on making.

I'm Mel of Poor Robin Jewelry. I'm an artist and crafter who's managed to channel my magpie tendencies into a successful color peddling concern. I'm a mom of two frequently hilarious girlchildren and wife of a hairy rocker who've recently relocated to this side of the pond after 11 years in the UK. I love spending time finding color combinations that fill me with glee- my button boxes are small treasure chests that I could spend hours just staring at! I've blogged personally for many years, but since establishing my craft blog, I've renewed my love of writing and look forward to sharing projects, experiences and other artist's beautiful work!

Although we're in a home selling process at the moment, I'm looking forward to the day that I have my own home on this side of the Atlantic to decorate with wonderful Halloween decorations. I'm loving fun burlap bunting!

Hello! My name is Kristen and I write Mrs. T, Naturally. I write about my adventures as a wife, mother, believer, health nut, and vegan. It is my hope that I get to meet many people along the way, and inspire you as well!
Honestly, we've never had any Halloween decorations. We have some fall things, but nothing Halloween. This year, however, I hope to buy some pumpkins, and paint words and pictures onto them. Cheap and easy!







Hi! My name is Sécia! I plan to spend this month enjoying the cool weather, drinking plenty of hot chocolate, making my first-ever trip to New York City and turning 30!!! Stop by my blog anytime and celebrate October with me.

My favorite halloween decorations are ghosts made out of tissue. You know, the ones we use to make when we were kids? I still totally make them every halloween.




A ballerina, magician's assistant, black belt, and former model finds true love. A sweet little baby falls from the stars. A tale of gypsies, dinosaurs, and high seas adventure. A chronicle of everything we love, everything we do, everywhere we go, and all the days we felt alive. 

Favorite Halloween Decoration: owls and feathers and beaded/glittered pumpkins...basically everything I have going on outside my door right now :)

3. My favourite Halloween decoration is the good old Jack O Lantern!  Not only are they super fun and Halloweeny but it's a decoration you get to make over and over every year!  Plus now I get to include my kids in the fun so we always have a blast.
