Over the weekend, I put away all my beach/summer decorations on top of my china hutch and switched it over to fall. The pumpkin images you see in frames were available on the Graphics Fairy blog and I just printed them off and put them in black frames that I picked up from the Dollar Store. I just love using her images for crafting projects. 
In between housekeeping and working at the University this weekend, I picked up these orange containers at the Dollar Tree.
Don't they just scream Halloween? They are currently sitting on the counter in my craft room and I can't wait to jazz them up with some crepe paper ruffles, ribbon, glitter, and fill them with special Halloween treats.I also used my Michael's coupon and picked up some translucent paper to make candle covers.
The Graphics Fairy has all kinds of wonderful skeleton and Halloween clip art that I downloaded and printed onto my translucent paper.
I then cut out the graphics and taped it around my candle holders.
So creepy...and I can't wait to cluster a bunch of them together on the mantle.My blogging artist friend Lee, has double dared me to start decorating for Halloween. I'm so tempted.
OMW... you are soooo CRAFTY..
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a 1/4 of your craftiness..

I do enjoy your crafty tips so much! Hope I have time to visit some of the craft stores before heading back up north Tuesday. Oldest son is coming home tomorrow so I will be busy getting plenty of hugs and cooking favorite meals. Sure miss those things when the kids live so far away!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
we are supposed to have two days this week with temps in the upper 70's. If that really does happen, I am opening the windows and putting out the Halloween stuff.
ReplyDeleteNever mind that it will be 120 again next week.
You are worse than ME girl! LOL!! I start decorating for fall at the first of September and you busted out with it in August! I have a friend who starts listening to Christmas music on October 1st every year. LOL!!
ReplyDeletePOOR baby girl (and you!) for a 6:40 AM bus??? YIKES!!
Oh my -- you are crafty! So cute!! What great ideas you have!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI love Fall so much, and I just love everything concerning Fall decor! Can't wait to see what you come up with this year. . .
Congrats to Emma on a job well done! It is hard getting back to the routine. . . We are starting on week three of the 2010-11 school year. I feel your pain!
We have been doing lots around the house the past two weekends. I hope to get to blog sometime this week and do a big reveal of all the home projects that are finally coming to a finish.
Much love,
Cindy
I, too, am soooo ready for fall! I finally ordered Kamree's Halloween costume today! Whooo hooo! Bring on all things black and orange and spooky!
ReplyDeleteLove your frames!
I am still in denial that summer is over. My kids start school Sept. 8th and until then, it's summer!! :) I did buy a fall wreath for my front door though--but only because it was 40% off. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to think of Autumn when it's still in the 90's here. A girl can dream, though...
ReplyDeleteHappy Crafting!
Great projects, love your crafty ideas. The lights look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost that time of year, isn't it?! I love your autumn vignette and that bat votive holder is too awesome!! Excellent idea about doing several of the votives and grouping them together, what a spooky presentation that will make! Thanks so much for linking this up to Brag Monday.
ReplyDeleteGo Kim go!! You are my favorite Halloween friend! It is never too early to decorate. Ive been picking up a few goodies here and there too. I really like this votive idea. Thanks for sharing! I am inspired!
