Well, it took me long enough.
Poor Sophie. What is becoming of her mother?
I finally dragged the Halloween totes upstairs and we set to decorating the house for the holiday.
I only used about 1/3 of what I own, though.
Now THAT"S scary!
I did keep with tradition, though, and had a little craft session with my mum, sister, and our little girlies.
I scoured the aisles of Michael's (love that place!) and picked up some 50% off Martha supplies and a few other ditties to make our crafts.
Easy peasy: A little glue, glitter, craft paper, and my mum's talent at paper cutting (she can draw anything!). It looks just like the inspiration photo, which I really wish I could show you but can't find it!
(my witch's get-away!)
Oh, and here is my spooky tree which lights up my dining area:
And some of these adorn the tree. We made them last year:
Lots of Halloween activities left to conquer this week! Sophie wants to make a craft with a few friends and we will likely host a pumpkin carving party on the weekend.
What are your Halloween traditions?

ReplyDeletei love, love, love the pumpkin! i will have to add it to my list!
ReplyDeleteYou go Spooky Girl. Love the idea of the Halloween tree!
ReplyDeleteI love your pumpkin! I always seem to use about 1/3 of what I have but I think I have to remember that I accumulate a lot of my decorations as "options". I never use all of my decorations at Christmas either.
ReplyDeleteI love that pumpkin! That little twig branch is too perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute decorations!
ReplyDeleteWe too decorated a pumpkin this weekend, off-white too with the help of some spray paint. Yours looks great.

LOVE the pumpkin with the crow!! Hugs,Rachel ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful decorations! I really love the skeleton ornaments on your spooky tree as well as the fabulous pumpkins you and your mum made! Halloween is so much fun! We always go to a pumpking patch, ride a hayride, play in the maze, feed the pettintg zoo animals and pick out pumpkins. It's so much more fun now that we have two little grandchildren, ages 3 years and 8 months, to share the outing with!
ReplyDeleteLove the Halloween decorations, fabulous!
