Holiday marketing already?

Believe it or not, now begins the time of year where some companies start marketing items for the holidays. Things like Christmas Cards will start to appear in various online advertising to get people to consider picking out their designs and ordering their cards early. It can create some savings to order during the "off-season" ... As long as you remember where you put the cards when it comes time to send them. Given the increase of "Christmas in July" parties for those who want more than one Christmas, you have time to order those invitations as well.

Spice up your kitchen...

One of the downsides to our house we are living in right now is how small the kitchen is, it's one of my dream moments about the house we are going through renovation hell with, that once that is survived, the kitchen there is 20 times larger than this one. What I have found though with a small kitchen, there are items you can buy to make things easier. Most of these items can be found online at stores like JK Adams, one example of something that can save you space is a JK Adams pot rack, the mini bar ones can also be used for small kitchen areas.

Having a spice rack is another way to save space, especially if you pick one of the JK Adams spice racks that can mount on your wall, that frees up much needed counter space. I prefer one of the chunk style cutting boards, I just leave it out as a part of my counter space but there are a large variety of JK Adams cutting boards that could also fit into a cupboard.

Even when it comes to JK Adams wine racks there are some space saving designs, and they also have some nice stemware racks, the hanging ones are a great way to free up cupboard space and if you opt for colored wine glasses? Can add a splash of color to your kitchen. This time of year I recommend red, green and gold stemware, and I have friends who take this a step farther by adding some fake holly leaves around the edges of the stemware rack. The nice thing about any of these items is when we finally do move? I can take them with me and they'll work just fine in a larger kitchen as well.

Halloween peeps...

This Halloween Invitation made me think of two of the Peeps that come out in the fall, ghosts and bats. I have to admit while a confirmed Peeps fan no matter if it is the invitation Halloween season or not, the bats are not my favorite. I'll leave the bats to the Halloween Party invitations and decorations. At Invitations-Shoppe (http://www.invitations-shoppe.com) whether you want bats or ghosts on your Halloween invitations you can view before you buy with their patented instant preview feature.

Ghouls want to party with you...

This particular Halloween Invitation made me wonder about Ghouls...They are flesh eaters similar to Zombies.

Halloween is a fun holiday to have a birthday on...

Combination Birthday Party and Halloween Invitations are somewhat common. While my birthday is the first day of spring that's not something that typically generates the same fun as invitations Halloween season does. Granted Mardi Gras is possible instead of a Halloween Party Invitations theme but for those lucky enough to be born during October to take advantage of the combining of Halloween Invitation and birthday invitation?

The more we bake together...

This time of year it's really too hot for me to think about baking, but during the holiday season, it's almost bake off time around our house. When I saw the Christmas Party invitation shared below, it struck me as a neat idea to have everyone come over and bake their favorite cookies for the invitations Christmas Party season. It seems like that theme for Christmas Party Invitations sets not only the tone for the party but could very well become a family and friend tradition.

Let There Be Peace on Earth

As I looked at the Christmas Card/Christmas Invitation below, I started to wonder about the history of the quote "Let There Be Peace on Earth" -- It's often seen on Christmas Party Invitation, from free Christmas invitations to printable Christmas invitations.

Candy Corn & Halloween...

I'm a fan of candy corn so this Halloween invitation caught my eye, and made me think a bit more about the history of candy corn while I looked at Halloween Party Invitations. Did you know that the first candy corns were made by hand? They were the creation of George Renninger of the Wunderle Candy Company in the 1880s.

As I've been sharing some of the popular Halloween Invitations with you, I've noticed that the most common color used in Halloween Party Invitations is orange.
