Last Minute Halloween Fluffing

 
Like many of you I'm sure, this past weekend was spent getting a few last minute items on the Halloween to-do list accomplished.
 
Since there has been quite the uproar by the little people in the house about our lack of spooky stuff for Halloween I dug out last years stuff and quickly put together a spooky shelf.
 
 
Nothing fancy, just a feather wreath, black and white do-da'ds , skulls and mice.


Now the little people can't complain, but they can get a wee bit freaked out by mice on the ledge - - hee, heeeee.  (they look surprisingly real out of the corner of your eye as your passing by - with more than one yelp to prove it!)
 

 
I was even feeling a little crafty this weekend and decided to try my hand at making a trio of battery operated orange plastic pumpkins fit a little better into my decor.


After a couple quick coats of white paint, I plugged in the hot glue gun and wrapped / glued some twine to the steams.
 

 
I love how they tuned out. 
 
 
I just can't help but grin a little when I walk by.
 
Have a great day,
 
Robin

  1. I think the Halloween shelf is BEAUTIFUL, the mice and black skull INSPIRED. You should have printed a BEFORE picture on the orange plastic pumpkins transformed into very attractive white ones!
