Decor Galore

I have always been in awe of those who have wonderful holiday decor for each and every Holiday/Season.
As early as September, I was "list making" and planning all the wonderful and fun ways to decorate for Halloween. I spent countless hours on Pinterest and Etsy, bought every Halloween magazine known to (wo)man and raided the Halloween section at Michaels and Homesense. Well...I think time got a way from me and I didn't get nearly half of what I was hoping to do.
But, I did manage to satisfy my crafting and Halloween decorating urges. Here are a few of my favorite Halloween finds!

One of my new Holiday staples, wreaths. ItzFitz is one of my favorite shops on Etsy, click here to see more. (picture from ItzFitz on Etsy)

I also got this amazing idea from Zakka Life to make chalkboard pumpkins. I bought me some craft pumpkins and chalkboard paint, rolled up my sleeves and got to work (note: probably not a good idea to do these on a windy day while wearing white - trust me). I love them because they are versatile, fun and unique! These were so incredibly easy (and pretty cheap) to make. Now good luck trying to track down white chalk! 

Next up on my craft hit list, trying to figure out what to do with a blank plate (or three of them). After having them sit blank for over a week, a light bulb moment: throw some window decals (from Martha Stewart) on them and voila!

To do: finish my "BOO" frames. I found these wonderful treasures at the Dollar Store, filled them with some Halloween paper and one day I will finish them by adding three simple black letters B-O-O. For now, I'll just admire them for their awesomeness. (p.s. I plan on changing out the paper and using them for Christmas Ho-Ho-Ho frames!) 

Finish off by some "batty garland" (I cut out bats, various sizes, on plain black cardstock, punched a few holes in the wings and strung them on black ribbon), some of that annoying spider web that gets everywhere and a dancing Frankenstein. There you have it some easy, fun and most importantly, cheap Halloween decor! (and yes, that is Chelsea Lately on the TV, and Girl, don't get me started!)
