Halloween Present–Decorations

20091010_0669edit

Here’s where I am at with Halloween decorations, right now. It may get spookier before Halloween arrives, but I wouldn’t bank on it, since someone is turning 2, and the Miracle Workers are returning for a visit before then. It will be a busy October. Here is the outside. I have been waiting to put together my Halloween tree ever since we took it out of our garden spot last January. At the time it was totally white and ghostly. It lost some of that in the mean time, so I helped it out with a little spray paint. I might go back to the dollar store and see if I can get more of the birds.20091010_0659edit

I have a little graveyard in the front yard. You might recognize the smaller tombstones from Trenton’s birthday party.

This pretty garland lights up, if we get an extension cord and plug it in.

Grandpa grew the orange pumpkins in his garden this year, and let the kids each pick one! (Saved me $5/each!) Yea!

These bird decorations, as well as all the new stuff I have this year, were purchased at Hobby Lobby, last year after Halloween, at 90% off clearance! So was this fun, vintage looking pumpkin pail:

I like how he looks next to last years’ project. And here is the whole scene, with the Halloween tree, and the lit-up haunted mansion.

Another Hobby Lobby purchase…

…and a quick project anyone can do. I spray painted a frame black, and printed off this image from the Graphics Fairy for FREE!

How go the hauntings at your home?

    everything looks great! still working on decorating at our house-promised hubby that I wouldn't "buy" any more halloween decor so I am trying to rework things we already have.

    Beautiful pictures. You're very well prepared. I've just started with decorating. The worst thing is that I'm absolutely without inspiration this year. Fortunately, we have the internet. Thanks for providing some inspiration through your blog. BTW those pumpkins are cute.

    Take care,
    Elli

    Thanks everyone!

    Would you believe, some one stole my tombstone this weekend. It was made of styrofoam, so it couldn't be worth much. *sigh* RIP my "RIP" sign.

    Hi Kendra,
    I love the name of your blog!!! Your Halloween decor looks wonderful! Sorry to see, up above, that someone stole your tombstone, that's so crappy. ;(
    I adore how you used my little Halloween owl label. Such a cute and easy idea, those are always my favorites! I'm having a little linky party on my blog today, called "Brag Monday", if you like you could add a link to this post to show off the little owl picture. I'm sure my readers would love to see it!

  9. lotsa scrap says

    Really great decor ideas.

  10. Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says

    I love the simplicity of printing the Trick or Treat from The Graphics Fairy and just framing it. Easiest Halloween decor yet!
