{a little Halloween/Fall at my house}

So these are a few pics of Fall/Halloween at my house! We've had a fun time taking these items out one at a time and starting to feel fall'ish at our home. The kids still enjoy seeing these little treasures pop up at home. I will take some outdoor pics when I'm done the entryway! My sister and I made the Halloween letters this week and it turned out beautifully! It was nice to start & finish the project in one day! The other items have been collected over time, some from Home Sense and Michael's mostly.

{Halloween Paper Crafts}

Go here for some cute "paper" Halloween decorating from one of my favourite paper lines!!! bOoo to YoU!!!

{update: i made the banner...}

so, i made the halloween banner i had found last year on this blog. it was easy to make & i think i will make smaller ones for other occasions & hang them by the front door. i did feel it was nice to have a banner that was homemade versus a cheesy store bought one, but who has the time to make one, everytime? i actually ran out of time looking for black beads & black tulle, so it's not decorated as much as the sample one. i got lots of compliments, as it was something a bit different. that's my goal always, for it to be unique & a little different than the norm. anyway, i had fun making it & will make a cute mini one for Christmas for the front entrance, if i have the time!!!

{gingerbread skeletons & bleeding hearts & scary pumpkins}

...different (something i'm always looking for) & very cute halloween ideas i saw over at craftzine.com

...halloween apples!!!

Look what I just need to re-create!!! over at Williams & Sonoma !!! delectable or what??? I say re-create because I would NEVER pay $22.50 for ONE!!! (i had to read the price twice!!!)

"All Hallows Eve"

I want to make this, I saw it last year and kept the link, it looks so awesome, so not "store-bought". Tonite I also came accross some small tags that would make cute backgrounds for a mini-garland for my front entrance as well as a large one for my mantle. I'm excited for Halloween this year....well, excited-once again!!!
