Crafting in Cornfields: Jack-O-Ween

It's my favorite, favorite, favorite holiday of the year, and I'm in full Halloween Spirit this month! Last year, we were moving into our new house, I had started a new business, and life was just all sorts of crazy! Needless to say, Halloween sadly suffered at my house last year. I got my decorations up, but it was about a week before Halloween and my annual Halloween party was ~~pathetic~~ small and cozy. This year, I was determined to make up for it!!!

My husband, bless him, thoroughly supports my obsession with Halloween...but he also knows how I am. He found the need early on in our marriage to restrict/limit the amount of time that our home looks like it's infested with bugs, a graveyard, ghosts, witches, and ghouls to one month (rather than 3 if I had my way)! So once October 1st rolls around, I'm in full planning mode for my favorite month. This year, the hubby was out of town the weekend of October 1st, so I had free reign to ~~go crazy~~ decorate without ~~intervention~~ interruption!

A lot of my decorations make repeat appearances year after year...some I've made, some I've bought, some I've re purposed...that's what makes it fun!

The twig wreath was a quick and easy project from a few years ago...you spray paint a pre-made twig wreath black, push stick eyeballs from Target (they still sell them!) onto the branches randomly after it dries, tie a cute bow out of your favorite Halloween ribbon...and voila! A spooky wreath that will really catch your eye (I know, I'm a big dork!)

I made the Bat Wing Soup wall hanging two years ago..it's so cute!
