Going Batty!

So recently while flipping through the most wonderful magazine I found this

and my heart went a flutter!!!

I have never been one to decorate our house for Halloween.... like ever! But now having a two year old little boy who thinks dirt and spiders are cool, I thought I better get in the game. Here is my very meager attempt at recreating the most wonderful Halloween door I.have.ever.seen!! Really!

And unlike the bats in the lovely display at the beginning of this post.... mine seem to all fly in the same direction... because that's how we roll here!

and.... my bats seem to sparkle when they go out in the sun...hmm... that's weird!! (said while displaying a sheepish grin)

And in case any of you forgot:

Happy Hauntings!

Dun Dun Dun.... HALLOWEEN!

Head on over to http://thediyshowoff.blogspot.com/ and you'll see this:

Isn't it so lovely in all it's "I'm a dead black tree with crows" glory! I've decided that this is the year that I will decorate my home for Halloween/Fall. I'm so excited to make this lovely Nevermore Tree and put it on my table as the centerpiece..... EEEEKK!

I'll be putting it together in the next few weeks. I'll be sure to post the results!!!
