My Halloween Crafts

Halloween is a big deal at our house, it's almost as big as Christmas. Our house is decked out with decorations and every year I try to add more to spice it up. This year, I went a little crazy with all my Halloween projects. I was almost too busy. I spent many late hours drawing, painting, burning my fingerprints off with the glue-gun, tying hundreds of knots, and gluing lots of googly eyes on everything! But now that's it's all said and done, I am happy and have very much enjoyed them this season. They are defiantly not like professional crafts you buy in the stores, but they're cheaper :) and they are something I can call my own that I worked really hard on. It's a good feeling to see things you accomplished.

My wreath was probably the most time consuming. The tutorial on the Internet that showed how to make a ribbon/fabric wreath said it's an easy project and it will take an hour tops. Well, for me and my picky ways (I guess some people say I'm a perfectionist ;) I found that wasn't true...... it took me like 5 hours! By the time I tied that last knot, I was so ready to never tie another knot again. But I do see more knot tying in my future, I have plans for more holidays wreaths. Welcome to our Home, Baaaa-ha,ha!

Here's Elphaba's broom. Yes, from time to time, the wicked witch of the west comes to visit us. But if you give her chocolate and some ice cream, she isn't so wicked anymore :)

This is my "Happy Halloween" banner...but it's hard to see, cause my picture stinks. It's cute, I promise.

My Spooky Scary Skeleton family portrait. Yes, I plan on having 5 babies, so I had to make a skeleton for each one. So far...there's me, Ryan, Our sweet Jason, and Ellie. Only 4 more to go till our family is complete.

Now, that October is coming to an end, it's time to move on to my next projects.....Christmas ones! I gotta keep busy, it's good for me.
