FRIDAY HALLOWEEN SPOOKTAKULAR!

It is time for another FRIDAY HALLOWEEN SPOOKTAKULAR. First I will show you what I made today.. In an earlier post I showed a lovely black tulle wreath. Today I made a black one for me and an orange and black one for my son and daughter-in-law for the front door of their new home. These were very easy they took about an hour each. I just cut the tulle and folded it in half and looped it over an embroidery hoop and pulled then finished with a lovely ribbon. The embroidery hoop was the cheapest thing I could find and it was just the right size. Total cost around $7.00 each.

Here are some other cute wreaths.

This one is from Grandin Road.

This one is from Pier 1.

How about using a witches hat as a centre piece. They are so nice and you can find them everywhere.

I love silhouettes. You can buy them or make them. They look great in a window, door or on a wall. Get creative and make some fun ones with your kids.

A cute idea from Martha Stewart.

And now for the sweet stuff. I love candy apples and caramel apples. Have some fun and make some spooky, sweet treats this Halloween.

These ghosts are adorable, they are from Amy Atlas Events.

These eerie beauties look like something the Wicked Stepmother would have made for Snow White on Halloween. All you need for these is black and red food colour added to the corn syrup.

I really like the simplicity of the black and white cookies. The delicious intricate ones on the bottom are from Amy Atlas Events.

I hope you have enjoyed these ideas. Next week will be all my own decorating ideas. I start to decorate on Monday after our Thanksgiving. I have made some really spooky things this season and I cannot wait to share them with you.

Don't forget to enter my Halloween Giveaway posted on my sidebar and to all of my fellow Canadians HAPPY THANKSGIVING, I will see you all on Monday, have a lovely weekend.

I'M IN THE MOOD FOR A HALLOWEEN GIVEAWAY!

It is getting closer to the Witching Hour so I am going to give away another Halloween Doorhanger. This time it is my Spooky Kitty. I made her like the vintage Halloween paper mache heads I love only she is a doorhanger pillow. All you have to do is be a follower and leave a comment on this post. If you don't have a blog please leave an e-mail so that I can get in touch with you. It starts today and ends on Thursday October 13th because that is my lucky number. I will announce the winner on Friday the 14th in my HALLOWEEN SPOOKTAKULAR DECORATING POST. Good Luck!

On another note, my friend Claire at Nothing Happens Unless We Dream is missing her lovely cat Sisco. She disappeared a few weeks ago. Would you all send positive thoughts to her for Sisco's safe return. There is nothing more upsetting then losing a furry family member and not knowing where they are. Thanks.

SUMMERS LAST BLOOMS & FALLS FAST FURY

I took a nice country drive the other day to our local post office which is in the next little town. I took my camera to capture some of Autumns glory which seems to fade quickly.

I stopped at our local Farmers Market and enjoyed the plump pumpkins and the rosy red apples.

I could not resist the last blooms of the summer, the regal gladiolas. These are our last glimse of floral pastel colours.

It had been quite a breezy fall day, and when I got home I found that Lady Autumn had blanketed my yard with her lovely golden leaves. I did not have to go far from home to enjoy the bliss of the Autumn day, it was right here all the time.

LET THE WITCHING HOUR BEGIN!

I am so excited that October has begun. Now I can dust off my broom and begin my Halloween Celebrations. I just adore Halloween as much as Christmas. I am creating some really fabulous Halloween decorations for outside. As I have been researching for my FRIDAY HALLOWEEN SPOOKTAKULAR POST I have seen some incredible things. I am working on one this week and I cannot wait to show you. So come ladies, lets get started, if you haven't already.
