halloween decorating

so i've never had a single halloween decoration.  for whatever reason, i've never cared to either.  but something got under my skin this year and all i could think about and pin were halloween ideas...  i do have one guess as to why i've been so excited to decorate for halloween, and that is because it just means that around the corner, i get to decorate for christmas! :)  so take a look at some of the things i've made in the last week (weston was out of town so i had a lot of free time in the evenings!)

[pillows]

 

you'll notice that i chose pillow material that will carry me right on through thanksgiving.... not just a hat rack, my friends ;)

[ghosts]

this started off the decorating frenzy - weston's mom decided that all the grandkids should make these ghosts and, naturally, once they realized they had to get sticky with glue, nobody wanted anything to do with the project.  so, dennyce and i soldiered on and made one for each kiddo.

[pumpkins]

i made this cute ghost in illustrator and framed it to keep the little pumpkin company (do i sound like bob ross?)  

these aren't quite finished... i still need to pick up some stems from the pumpkin patch when we go tomorrow and glue them on... very cute.

[kitchen decor]

this is all the kitchen gets - gotta love that dollar section at target!  it's where the purple glittery boo with the ghosts came from, as well.

60% off at joann's and some sparkly foam sheets go a long way out here!

and there you go!  my house feels festive and ready to welcome the trick-or-treaters.  our first time living in a neighborhood where we may actually get some knocks on the door!  better go get the good candy before the grandma-hard candy-mix is all that's left on the shelves ;)
