Halloween decor

Here is a couple of pics of around the home of the halloween decor.

I took on few craft projects this year and was very happy with the results. Next year will only get easier and better as I've got more plans in my head.

The front porch. It was so hot this year and I was worried about the pumpkins staying ok for the duration. I never planned on carving them as they would have rotted out really quickly.

 We saved up a bucketload of the gallon-sized milk jugs. We cut the backs out of them and drew some faces on them then put lights in them to light them up at nighttime. Unfortunately my camera doesn't take night piccies (sorry I don't know how to use my camera to take night piccies) so I don't have much of the final look. But it did look good.

 By not carving up the pumpkins I actually managed to save this "Queensland Blue" looking pumpkin for eating. Yes, I had roast pumpkin last night and yummmmmmmyyyy!

 Inside the house..with my fave wicker pumpkins from Target. (I so miss living near a Target!)

 I made this one. The plastic eyes on the center circle were hot glued and it left a lovely trail of glue that looked like spider webs. Enjoyed making it.

 My cabinet from Craigslist. I still need to paint it (and have all good intentions of doing so of course!) but I love it for holiday decor.....

 A glass full of eyes.

 My halloween tree.

 I made the cheesecloth ghost...

 I made the cheesecloth mummy (sensing a theme here yet?) and the wicker tree with candy corn ribbon. I also made the piccies of the orange pumpkins in a frame.

In looking back over these photos I realize that I missed quite a few things. I'm quite disappointed in the fact that the broomstick hangout didn't get immortalized and my main door Boo wreath also missed the cut. I also didn't take a piccie of the decor on the library shelves. All the decor for halloween is down now - only the fall decor is still out (but christmas is not that far away and a month is too short for christmas in my eyes so the fall stuff will be gone real soon....)

Mmmmm. Love it!
