Hi everyone!
My camera is back from getting a little TLC and has given up the goods. Honestly, I love working with electronics/gadgets but the moment they stop working, I’m up the creek without a paddle.
Since I was a little girl, Halloween has
always been one of my favourite events of the year. From planning our costumes,
decorating the house, making spooky cookies and trick-or-treating, I have always loved it.
My kiddies are very excited for the big night…what kid doesn’t love to go
door-to-door asking for candy and then stay up late, eating everything we ask them
not to eat?! My camera is back from getting a little TLC and has given up the goods. Honestly, I love working with electronics/gadgets but the moment they stop working, I’m up the creek without a paddle.
This is a photo of our minis last weekend
at a Halloween party. Ninja Turtles unite!
BTW, if you need to make a tutu and don’t
want to have to sew it, I used this tutorial online that involved zero sewing and
cost only $9 to make! Easy peasy! God bless talented crafters that produce easy
tutorial versions of the real deal for wannabe crafters like myself!
The kids helped me decorate our mantle. Our
big guy wanted something scary and our middle guy was hesitant. So…this is what
we came up with.
We filled a glass vase with rice and stuck
decorative branches (I use these all the time in urns) in the rice to hold them
in place. We picked up a handful of bats at the dollar store and gave them a
place to hang.
Halloween is one of those holidays where
your mantle décor can be limitless. You can go scary, traditional (i.e. line up
a bunch of pumpkins straight across), gory (hanging hands, legs and spider webs
etc), or silly.
If you are looking for some last minute Halloween décor, I've created a Halloween Pinterest board for some inspiration.
Next stop…Christmas! Dare I say it?!
Wait for it…November 1st, Christmas will have fully exploded in the
stores. Prepare yourself.
The Mason Jar Series will officially begin
tomorrow J
