Today was a big day. Some very famous people celebrate their birthday:

I was looking for some fun facts to share about Halloween in honor of birth week, which I never really thought about researching at any length until today. I found some really great infographics about candy , costumes , the history of Halloween , and safety ; but this Halloween by the numbers (from History.com and Column Five) seemed to cover the best variety and looked pretty to me.

At the end of the day I like to go through my feeds and see what my friends and family have been up to and check out the day's news.

I will give a disclaimer that I have a strange ability to look at something and replicate it pretty closely. I have several coffee mugs from my college internship at Walt Disney World and loved one of Tinker Bell stuck in the keyhole of a door. I thought it would be pretty cute if she was pushing out of a pumpkin instead. I took out my trusty sketch book and went to work. After sketching the image I went back in with a sharpie to make sure that I had sections left intact so as to not have a giant hole instead of a Tinker Bell outline.
