This whole year has been pretty busy. Seriously folks, I have an 11 month old.
I can't even pee in peace most the time.
I haven't been able to do much this year in the realm of Halloween decor.
I had a friend tell me last week,
"You're doing good, my kids are grown and I do good to get
a pumpkin on the porch before October 31st"
Well, I know. Plus, Beckett doesn't know any different.
He just points to random things I've put up in the house and yells
gibberesh at them.
It's almost pointless right now, but I love it!
I have to decorate. It's what I grew up with.
It's in my blood.
My mom was the master of Halloween decorations when we were little.
Full size scarecrows, wreaths on the front door, jack-o-lanterns,
skeletons on the front porch....even down to the spooky
music for trick-or-treaters.
And we looooooved it.
...which is exactly the number one reason she took the time to do it.
Anything to make your kids smile, right?
The crow cut-outs are from the Martha Stewart collection at Joann's |
Recognize this tree of bats and cobwebs? It's recycled from Lauren's baby shower The bat shapes are the same ones I used for the lamp shades Theyr'e cut from thin sheets of foam and hung with fishing line. |
Joann's craft store always has cute Halloween decor and usually on sale. These (reusable) decals were on sale 30% off (2 weeks ago). |
If I'd have had time, I might have added some spanish moss to the candlesticks and
something else to the hallway table.
note to self: next year find a way to decorate with those great
black lanterns from the back porch!
Happy Thursday!
