Halloween houses!

Such a spooktacular night we had!

The sky showed off with a "candy corn sky"

and the neighborhood I grew up in was all decked out for 

Halloween.

Here are a few of the places we drove by.

We also visited my Auntie Linda's spooky house,

so stay tuned for the next post of this years

haunting!

I can't get over how creative people get decorating for Halloween.

Take a look at this outdoor family dinner.....

and this ghastly graveyard.....

Take a look at this one....

do you see it?  they've created a very large witch out of a bush  complete with teeth! 

This one is fun,  it has the floating Harry Potter candles at the door as well as snakes slithering along the wall. 

Also, looks like a Amazon drop off... hahaaa

This one was beyond frightful,  the wind was blowing hard

and this creeper was swaying every which way....

They had four trees with hanging jeeper, creepers...

And these skellies were tucked all over a hedge with 

the spiders webs.... creeeppppy!  

That's all for now! 

Candles and Canvass' creative night

Happy friday!

I held a candles and canvas's class.

Even though my guests had not 

painted much before, there pieces turned out

cute ghost with umbrella's

The one on the right end was made with wall compound!

This one is a painted black canvas, then wall compound/spackle

that she spread onto the canvas.  boooo-tifully done!

Such a fun night, we had on the movie Practical Magic and just took

in the fall day.   Happy weekend! 

Mummy brownies

Let's have some fun with these little mummy wrapped brownies!

What you need are a box of the Little Debbie brownies at the grocery store.  They are individually wrapped.

Grab some tape, white crepe paper, googlie eyes and some scissors.

Start by taping the crepe paper to the back of the brownie

then wrapping it around it til you get the look you like.

Glue your googlie eyes in place and cut yourself

a piece of the crepe paper and cut it in half

to tie around the middle of the mummy. 

How cute are these!

Great to give to friends, co-workers, parties etc!

Send me your pics if you make some! 

Skeleton embroidery bag

Happy monday!

I have quite a few of these canvas bags and decided

to try my hand at making a halloween skellie bag for

my auntie for halloween. 

I literally did this free hand using the straight stitch, french knot and

the petal stitch and satin stitch to make this spooky guy.

I started with the legs and body and worked up word to

make his head.

Turned out pretty good, my aunt loved it!

Fun trying new things and giving yourself a challenge! 

Hello Pumpkin

Hello pumpkin!

This card is from this month's paper pumpkin Fall for Toile.

These pieces are all ready to go and to punch out to 

put your card together. 

I popped up the tree and the fox,

the colors are so fallish. 

Super sweet card. 

Ghost redo

I had this little cutie ghost sitting in my halloween

boxes and decided to do a makeover. 

I pulled the rubber sedum out of the top of it and 

added my own dried flowers I had on hand. 

I showed you some of the zebra grass and dried baby's breath as well as some mini pampas grass. 

I started to add each sprig of dried flower

and love how the makeover turned out.

I matches my little ghost picture.

simple and easy makeover,

do you have a halloween piece that's been sitting around that you

can give a makeover?

take a look in your boxes!

send me your pics!
