Halloween Fun

Last night Stephanie came over for a little Halloween crafty time. I had bought the Martha Stewart pumpkin glitter kit at Michael's a few weeks ago and was very excited to glitter some pumpkins. I knew Stephanie would be up for it too. We glittered 4 pumpkins. I sent one home with Stephanie and here's my three on display in my living room. Aren't they fun?

I'm thinking I'm going to need to glitter more things. I have lots of glitter left....wonder what else I can make sparkly shades of orange? I also had the stuff to make some fun Halloween cupcakes. I bought cute little Halloween paper liners and silly little decorating stuff. They turned out a bit silly, but fun and quite tasty!

Last week I was looking at this ridiculous black feather boa that Jessie tried to get me wear on my birthday and wondering what in the heck I should do with it, when I remembered the boa wreath I made for Christmas last year and knew a black one would be fun for Halloween. So I bought 2 more boas and found a wreath form at the dollar store and added some orange ribbon. I think it's the perfect Halloween wreath!

Here's a couple more Halloween decorations. This little ceramic pumpkin and witch set was made for me by a childhood babysitter and my mom passed it along to me last year to add to my Halloween collection.

Here's the fun little candle lantern I ordered at Stephanie's Partylite party. The spider web piece on the front is magnetic, so after Halloween I can change it to one with leaves for the fall and one with snowflakes for the winter. Pretty fun I think.

I was hoping to get some work done out in our courtyard this weekend, so that I can make it look all nice for trick or treaters....not sure it's going to happen though. It's a bit warm today and I don't really feel like digging out the garden, which has been over run with mint, or cleaning off patio furniture and such. I'm wanting a nice 70 degree day so I can work out there and enjoy myself!
