At the beginning of October, I picked up a home decor magazine with a Halloween inspired cover (I think it was Good Housekeeping), just because it had been so long since I actually flipped through the pages of a magazine vs swiping through the internet or pinterest for inspiration. And whaddya know? I got inspired! …
I resisted posting all day yesterday because I wanted to start off the month with something festive, yet I wouldn’t really allow my mind to go into create-mode (do you know the feeling?) So I stalled all day long and continued procrastinating (by keeping very busy doing a million other things)… But I’ve vowed to …
I’m not sure why I’m obsessed with decorating skulls this year, but I just love it. My Embellished Pirate Treasure Skull DIY was far more intricate and time consuming than these flower adorned skulls, but I love them just the same. Needless to say, there’s no real need for a full tutorial because really, you …
Each October, I generally do a really big Halloween costume DIY complete with hair and makeup tutorials, but I really couldn’t decide what to do this year. Instead, I’ve been super crafty and creative with much smaller Halloween projects, which is pretty fun for a change. I found this glam embellished skull on Pinterest recently …
Oh I just love Halloween! How is it not your favorite time of the year and holiday? I think I may even enjoy it more than Christmas! Some years I decorate and some years I don’t, but no matter what, I feel a festive creativity come over me each October that I just love. I …
We have a really fun neighborhood full of great people and tons of kiddos, who happen to remember that we always give out full-sized candy bars on Halloween AND we let them choose whatever they want. This year was no different really, except for the addition of Miss Delilah George, who was meant to go …
We’ve been a bit behind on the Halloween decor front this month because we’ve been so distracted by our house situation {we are in escrow, eek!}. My husband usually has boxes of king sized candy bars just waiting to hand out on Halloween to all the kiddos but he hasn’t even gotten them yet. This …
I pulled this from my 2012 Halloween Decor post because it was so long and photo-heavy full of Halloween decor, that my spooky-chic tablescape needed its own little post. I used: My easy DIY Fall Tablecloth with a creepy shredded cloth layered on top as my table runner, then placed fake spiders in the open …
Like many internet phenomena including ironic mustaches, balloons, and cute girls overdressed on bicycles, the chevron print is seemingly here to stay. Dear Internet, please don’t hate me for saying this BUT, the infinitely zig-zaging chevron pattern simply reminds me of Charlie Brown every time I see it. Saying that, however, It’s The Great Pumpkin, …
I mentioned yesterday that our Halloween party was a blast {and I LOVED our costumes} so I’ll just keep it simple today and share a few photos of our night… what am I saying “a few” apologies for the photo overload, enjoy. Hope your Halloween was Spooktacular!
the rest of the decor… a few of the costumes… The Husband & I: Iron Man ~ Tony Stark & The Black Widow Superman & Bat Girl Wonder Woman …and Gangster A Cabbage Patch Kid & a Black Eyed “P” Valley Girl Boris Becker on bass Tony Romo …hurt Hope your Halloween was Spooktacular!
I was kind of excited about my haunted mansion ghost table idea for our Halloween party, which is why it was imperative that our new table arrive by Saturday morning …which it did. Yay. And with this ghost table idea in mind, I headed straight over to my mom’s last week to rummage through all …
That black widow is real. The husband killed it & left it’s guts on the wall to warn his friends lol. see the rest of our Halloween decor here I can’t wait to decorate the tables …which won’t happen until later & will most likely show up in a party post tomorrow but the tarnished …
Mid-summer I sort of {temporarily} gave up my dream of having a beautiful front lawn when I realized that no matter how much I watered it, the little neighborhood birds were going to continue to meet there every morning and eat up all the grass seed until it was gone …which they did …month after …
I’m kind of really excited for holiday decorating this year and since we’re having a Halloween party, it gives me that extra motivation to go all out on spookiness. While I do have some Halloween decorations from a few years back, I thought I’d add a few new ones to the mix and probably DIY …
