Copy Cat

I copied my friend Salsa Mama's darling halloween decorations today. I was totally envious of her cool, creepy garlands and cute pumpkins.




So this weekend while I was thrift shopping at my fave Goodwill on half-price day, I kept my eyes open for some likely candlesticks! I got these two, plus the shorty stand all for under $3.50! Then I hit the dollar store and picked up some red berries, all for $2. I should probably have sprung for another set, but I forgot about shorty when I was picking out the berries. Luckily I remembered him come candle time (once again at Dollar Tree), $3.00. Soooo, for a grand total of $8.50 I've got some cool seasonal decor! And yes, I am dying to make her cute Spooky frames too (but obviously, I ran out of black spray paint), and I forgot to look for some while I was at the store. Ah well, I really should be focusing my energy on some other projects anyway. (I'm a bit too easily distracted. Heehee!)

The cute pumpkin I've had for several years. I've had it for about 2 years finished! LOL! (Super Saturday Craft Project that sat in the cupboard for several years.) He's got a mate somewhere. I'll probably find it in a costume box.

Also, I hung out my fall wreath, so we're starting to look festive all the way around.

P.S. I thought I'd share my wreath storage idea. I stick each of my seasonal wreaths in a kitchen garbage bag. Then I write on the outside of it, and hang it over a hanger in my entry coat closet! They don't get crushed, they're there where I use them, and I can find them easily without having to go through a bunch of boxes in storage. Brilliant!
