Halloween At Our House


October 2 was rainy and cold so I thought it was a perfect day to put up some Halloween decorations.  I decided to make a Halloween photo garland for my big kitchen windows...I found some pics from past Halloweens, and had them printed out.  I found a beaded string at Hobby Lobby and decided to fasten the photos with these cheap lanyard things. 



 The rest of the house:  (I found the cute owls at Michaels.)





 And of course:

  9. I love this idea and might have to copy it. I was thinking of printing out Halloween photos and framing them but got overwhelmed with the idea of framing them all and then where to put all those framed pictures???? This is a much better idea.

    Where'd you get that awesome big spider? I scored a giant spider web at a garage sale last year and need a giant spider.

  16. The photo garland is such a cute idea! It would be so fun to look at pics of my kids in their past Halloween costumes when they were smaller. I love all of your kids in their masks too. So fun! All of your other Halloween decor looks great too. I saw those cute owls at Michael's yesterday. I didn't buy any though. Maybe I should have. :)

  22. Photo garland - too cute, and a great way to get me to actually print out some of the gazillion digital photos I have. And too bad my computer screen is not scratch-n-sniff - love the Pumpkin Spice (or any other fall/holidayish scent for that matter).

    Now off to "season" things up around here - you've given me just the inspiration/motivation I needed to do some decorating of my own.
