Lazy Fall Decorating

This year I decided to approach my Halloween decorating a little differently.

For years I would spend an entire day (or two) hauling out and putting up all of my decorations for Halloween, then the days after the holiday I would put things away just to haul out and put up my Thanksgiving decor. I noticed the past few years I would hit decorator burn-out before December which made Christmas decorating more of a chore than a pleasure. 

It made me sad to not enjoy the process of making my home pretty for all the holidays. So I decided to change things up and this year decorate for Halloween with Thanksgiving in mind. 

My dining room shelf will easily be transformed by simply removing the crows and gold spiders.

For a quick change I only need to ditch the spider and mouse in this sweet scene. 

And by removing the fuzzy little owl and the numbers on the pumpkin this vignette will show off through Thanksgiving day. With this lazy fall decorating idea I find myself looking forward to decorating for the upcoming holidays. 

Wishing you creative ways

to ENJOY holiday decorating

Fun Creepy Crawlies

I think it's fun to have spiders in the house this time of year...as long as they are the plastic variety. Here's a couple of ways I've used the creepy crawlies in my Halloween decorating.

With a little hot glue attach a magnet to the underside of the spider, let dry and arrange them in a line on the corners of the walls. They adhere to the metal corner where the sheetrock meets. 

Give ugly dollar store spiders a glam makeover using a little gold spray paint. Added in among fall leaves they look spooktacular!

I'm Baaaaaaack!

Oh Goodness! It seems that I took an unintentional hiatus from blogging. I've missed it and YOU! But I just needed to let something go in order to focus on the needs of our family. I truly appreciate your concern and kindness. Thank you!
It only seems fitting that since I left three months ago with a mantle post that I should come back with one.

 Here's my Halloween mantle. 

A bit more sparkly than spooky but I still included a few spiders and a glam skeleton.
