Basket Lanterns
I am so LOVING these basket lanterns for fall celebrations that I think I might have to make a few for myself. I want to line up several different sizes for my table centerpiece. Has anyone seen some cute baskets out there?

Marshmallow Pumpkins
I have a confession to make, I am not a great baker. So when I see an idea like these White Marshmallow Pumpkins that makes me look like one, I am ALL over it! Kori from Paper & Pigtails created these beauties with marshmallow, chocolate & lollipop sticks!
I am SO making these but I am planning on using pretzel sticks instead of a lollipop stick for the stems & maybe a little sugar crystals for sparkle. For directions, please visit Kori's post on Pizzazzerie.

Dia de los Muertos
Día de los Muertos is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and around the world in many cultures on November 1 & 2. For those of you who aren't familiar with the holiday, it focuses on gatherings of family &friends to pray for & remember friends & family members who have died. Traditions include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods & beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts.
I wanted to share some of my favorite tributes around the blogging world honoring Dia de los Muertos including this fabulous altar created by local artist, Kathleen Escobedo from Esco Studio(who also just happens to be my Mom). For all you locals, she currently has 5 altars showing at the Vision Gallery in Chandler at the Day of the Dead exhibition.
I also love these fabulous cookies from The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. The colors are amazing & all the fantastic details truly make them a work of art.
I am slightly obsessing over this pin art from Kathleen at Twig & Thistle. The simple, intricate beauty of the thread and pins is truly amazing!
