MY BAD LITTLE CHILDREN

Oh, how cute are these guys? I call them my "demon dollies" , and I have to admit I love 'em! I think they're pretty adorable. But truth be told... the hubby is NOT a fan. He gets freaked out, because I think it's funny to lay them on his pillow before he wakes up.

Oh, maybe that's not so funny. But they sure are cute.

They really didn't take too long to make, just some old scrap fabric and some filling. Making the little faces was the best part! I think this would be a fun rainy day project!

FINALLY! A GOOD USE FOR ALL THOSE JARS I'VE BEEN SAVING....

I've been saving glass jars for months and months for future projects, like candle holders and specimen jars..... but I loooooove this! I think this is such a cute idea, and an easy project for the kids to do! How fun is this?

Just add a few sticks, some moss, spray paint, and some fake birds or creepy crawlies. I would even spray a light coat of black or white spray paint over it, to make it look older and creepier!

MEET MATT

I've gotten so many people who want to know how I made this bloody body rug (Who we've lovingly named "Matt") that was a big hit at the annual Halloween bash this year!

It's really easy. We got an large section of new carpet that was left over from a remodeling job, flipped it over, had a friend lay on it, in the desired position, and I outlined him with a black marker.

You'll need an exacto knife to cut it out, (Be extra careful, it can be really tough!) and trim off the edges with scissors and duct tape. (This will keep the edges from fraying)

Then flip "Matt" over and add a blood stain with red acrylic paint. Let dry and you've got a fun centerpiece for your Halloween decorations this year! I promise, your guests will stop dead in their tracks!

TIME TO START PLANNING

As you can see from my Halloween Countdown.... the most fun day of the year will be here before you know it. So you need to start planning. I know you might think it sounds crazy, but trust me.... the more you plan now, the better the results for your party! So you need to be thinking about party invitations. I totally copied these from Martha Stewart, but I think mine are creepier. All you need is a little Spanish moss, some black spray paint, a few black ribbons and you can make your own creepy party invites! If you need directions to do this project, please e-mail me!

THE GHOSTS OF HALLOWEEN PAST

I'm baaaaaaaack. Sorry to say that due to some computer problems, I lost some of my blog postings.... so I decided to salvage what I could, and start over! My how time flies when you're having fun!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from last Halloween. Many more to come, along with some of my favorite projects and some ideas that I'll be conjuring up over the next few months....stay tuned!
