ANOTHER Quick Halloween Fix…. Redrum

October 27, 2010 5 Comments

I have never been one for Halloween decor. I was always more of a “harvest time” Halloween decorator… but I sure am having fun putting little scary details around the house this year. Both Conner and Mitch told me they think I’m “going overboard”. Devin probably thinks it, but doesn’t say it, and Grant takes […]

Quick Halloween Fix – plain plates get a Halloween make-over

October 26, 2010 11 Comments

I have 3 plates that hang above our slider. They are sweet… not spooky. I thought I’d give them a quick fix. I cut out 3 circles of black cardstock that are the same diameter as the centers of these plates. I used my Cricut to cut out white letters. I stuck the letters onto […]

How to make a Haunted Tree. (With things you already have, of course.)

I’ve mentioned that we’re throwing a Halloween Party and I am trying my best to decorate for pennies on the dollar. So far I’ve spent about $38 on supplies ($30 of which went to black spray paint) and I think I’m in pretty good shape. We have a bare planter that is right off our […]

I have already mentioned how much I love sticks. They’re free. Spray paint is cheap. People will think you’re fab. No one needs to be the wiser, right? Instead of working on other projects, I gathered and painted more sticks today. This will greet people who approach our front door. I made this today. Took […]

Cheapy, Creepy, Halloween Party Invitations

September 22, 2010 15 Comments

Handsome Hubby and I decided to have a Halloween Party this year. (OK. I decided to throw it and told HH that I hoped he would attend…) I want to do this as inexpensively as possible, but with style. Invitations set the tone. I was able to snap up some silver/black toned iridescent card-stock that […]
