Halloween Decor

Last year, i was so big and pregnant that I didn't decorate for halloween.  But not this year :-)  I decided to get the decorations out and add a few more items that I have seen on pinterest.  So, here is my entry table and dining room table.  I love how they turned out.  So, fun and festive.

Some of the new projects are the "31" and "halloween" plaques.  I got the idea of "31" from this blog.  And then I added the 'halloween" to make a set.  The great thing about these plaques is that they are made from cabinet doors.  And I didn't have to do any priming, sanding or prep work.  I used this AWESOME paint.  It is the greatest thing.  For a girl like me, who just wants to get going on a project and get it done (I don't like to prep work), this paint is heavenly. It dries super quick, great colors and easy, easy, easy!   It is called Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. Check it out... i will change your "creative" life.

Also, I made the little white garland out of strips of white fabric and just tied it onto a ribbon and added some festive tied ribbon all throughout to add some color.  So, easy and I love how it looks.  

Lastly, I made a spider topiary.    I used spider rings and stuck them onto a black painted Styrofoam ball (i cut the rings so they could poke into the styrofoam).  I used a 7" ball and it took about 200 spider rings.  Again, love it and saw something similar on pinterest and thought... I am going to do that.

The pumpkins are project I did last year. .... here is the link.

Lastly, I put out framed pictures of my kids throughout the years.  I add a few each year.  I love putting them out and see how cute my kids are and how much they are growing up.  They love to see the pictures each year too.  Eventually my whole house my be full of frame pictures each year.

There you go... my halloween decorations.  I would love to have something similar to this for each holiday.  We will see if that every happens. :-)
