Oh Halloween Tree... Oh Halloween Tree... & Bats

So....my little batty friends decided it was much to windy outside my front door. They're so touchy! I told them that I loved them and wanted them to stay... so they took up residence in my kitchen! (Not my husband's first choice for company!)

I also finally finished my tree that I told ya'll about here. Of course mine is missing the birds... spiders.... and the oh so clevery placed moss draping out of the vase.... but hey... whatever works, right?? Oh, and I didn't paint my branch. WHATEVER!

I know I know... the pictures are GROTESQUE!!!!! Flashes and shadows and other random things in the picture. I will soon find the patience to turn my lights on and move things before I start flashing..... pictures that is!

Going Batty... Going Batty... Gone....

The bats have flown away to their new home..... stay tuned and I'll show you tomorrow!!!! (You're dying to know, I just know it!)

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!
