Halloween Decorations

i love halloween, i really do. i have always liked it, i like the colors, the candy, dressing up is fun. it has gotten even more fun with kids added into the mix, and then take into account that B-man's birthday is ON halloween and we've got ourselves a serious party:)
here's some of our decorations this year...
front door.  i made this tulle wreath with some marvelous ladies in my area who attend the craft group that i organize.  this wreath was inspired by one here, we used embroidery hoops, just one piece and it took about 1.5 spools of tulle.

my bench by the front door...

closer...this sign is inspired by this one over at Lil Blue Boo they provided a download of the words, already flipped the wrong way for us, that was awesome!!! i decided to add some orange to make it pop:) i like it!!!

just inside our front door...i made this sign a few years ago with some friends...we crackled it, and that was fun! our skeleton welcoming his friends...

my entry table...with the countdown (obviously not current to today, but you know:)) jar pumpkins there too...

printable from Tatertots and Jello

i got the rat silhouettes and some spider silhouettes at the dollar tree...i love the dollar tree:)  also the window clings on the mirror (and the sliding glass door, not pictured) came from there too:)

the mummy jar, and candy corn cone (and spider on the vase) are new this year...the rest is remixed from years past...

my 2x4 friends we made last year in craft group

even the picture wall got attacked with the spider silhouettes this year... i like the subtle cute/spooky:)

and some spiders on the lampshade:)

there are other things scattered about...but those are the highlights...i just love to get out all my seasonal stuff and the kids get excited about it too:)  it's a fun time.

You are quite the crafty diva! You have a wonderful blog. I love blogging because I found it's my outlet, journal, and sometimes my therapy too. It's wonderful and also heart breaking to see where your life has taken you and the experiences you have had. You have a beautiful family. Where are you living now?
