Sharing a few Halloween touches around our house. I still have a few more spooky projects and decorations to add but here's the progress so far. We don't have a mantle, so I decorate the top of our wood corner hutch as if it were a mantle. And here is the hutch. I keep this old typewriter out year round. I just added an old crow to the top. Lots and lots of... Skulls. ...
I was toying around with this little wood frame that I picked up at a local thrift store. First I painted it white. It sat in the garage for 2 weeks until I decided to instead paint it black. All this indecision resulted in a wicked makeover - literally! I used some Halloween-ish cardstock as my background. Then I went over to DaFont.com to spell out the word wicked in some creepy fonts.

Remember this bottle carrier I picked up at Goodwill a few weeks ago?! I gave it a spooky twist earlier this week.

So I made some quick Halloween soaps to add to our soap dish. All you need is some glycerin soap (I used black), paper, a printer and of course some fabulous images from The Graphics Fairy. I used a vintage dictionary page with a skull, a...
Yesterday I came across a styrofoam wreath that was slated for our last garage sale. It did not sell, so I had it in the donation pile. I'm not a very good wreath maker, but I decided to give it another go by doing a sheet music one for fall. As much as I would have loved to do the scroll-y kinds I've seen all over Pinterest, I just wasn't in the mood to hot...
