It's that time of year!
Where've I been, you might be asking? It's just sooooo much easier to post on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter these days.
In case you missed any of my Halloween DIYs, I'm sharing a few today in the hopes that I'll get back down to blogging.
Halloween season was a blast this year. Not only did I volunteer to scare people at my friend's haunted house, I also had a ball DIYing and shopping for new Halloween decor.
But I'll let you in on a little secret...Everything came down today.
No, not to be replaced by Christmas decorations; I was just ready to get back to simple pumpkin decor for the rest of the season and Thanksgiving.
Halloween will always be my fave!

Halloween crafting is in full swing over here. I've been working on everything from creepy doll heads to Halloween Christmas houses.
But you probably already knew that if you follow me on Instagram,lol (@okiobdesigns).
Now I haven't exactly started putting stuff out yet. I broke out the autumn decor and plan to pace myself over the next couple of weeks.
Most of what I'm sharing was either made using items from the thrift store, Dollar Tree or items I already had around the house.
Hopefully the weather will start to cool off here soon and actually start to feel like Halloween season. A cool, crisp day, always gets the creative juices flowing.

I'm in full Halloween mode over here. Most of what I'm using is either stuff I already have or items I picked up from Dollar Tree.
Between now and then, I'll be trying out some new techniques and experimenting with a bunch of different ideas. As always, I will be keeping a budget in mind.

Anyone else getting Anthropologie or Pottery Barn vibes from Dollar Tree's ceramic pumpkins this year? The quality is better than expected and the color choices are fabulous! I grabbed the last two teal ones from our local store.

Have you seen these at your local Dollar Tree yet: ceramic faux Halloween books? If not, they are coming! I picked up three of them earlier this week, so I could turn them into...
I had just enough black acrylic paint left (note to self: buy more black paint!) to do all three. Once they were dry, I dripped some red candle wax over them in random spots. Total: $3.75 plus tax.
I can't wait to add these to my Halloween collection.
