Halloween Table Scape

One of my favorite blogs, The Stories of A to Z, is having a fun linky party!

It's all about Halloween mantel/shelf/table top scapes!

Check out the party for tons of fun decorating ideas!

I don't have a mantel, so I am posting our living room buffet.

The pumpkins on the top shelf were first posted here. Check it

out to see how they were made.

I love the creepy elegance of this silver and black tree.

I have been seeing "31" decor items all over and I love them! So I had to jump on board.
And of course Miss Witchy, who shall remain nameless until Monday. If you'd like to know more about her and the contest/giveaway go here.

I made the candleabra sign with some vinyl I scored on clearance at Target.
The candles have vinyl stickers as well.

And this little cutie is a free printable from House of Smith's.

I spend a lot of time not knowing what to do with this space in my house. For now I am happy with it!

Wooden Memory Pumpkins

This year I wanted to use some of our favorite Halloween pictures to

decorate with. My 5 year old helped me go through boxes of old photos and pull out ALL the Halloween pictures. Then they sat around in a pile for DAYS while I tried to figure out how to use them.

I had so many favorites it was REALLY hard to choose!

While working on another project (mod podging pictures to 2 x 6 blocks)
This idea was born.

So I turned a bunch of various sized 2 x 6 into pumpkins.

Nothing fussy, just cut a variety of lengths, I didn't even measure!

Paint, sand, and antique the blocks.
Use mod podge to adhere the pictures to the blocks. On a few of them I added some scrapbook paper frames.

Mod podge over the top of the pictures too.

I found a good chunky branch and cut it into a variety of lengths for stems.
Glue the stems on top with hot glue or gorilla glue.
I tied a bow and glued on some silk leaves and berries.

We ALL have loved having our favorite old pics on display!

My Fall House

I absolutely LOVE everything about fall. The weather, the gorgeous leaves, pumpkins, soup. . . I could go on and on. I especially love decorating for fall. So I thought I'd break away from my norm and share some of my other favorite sweet things.

If vinyl can be stuck to it, I stick it.

Metal buckets with a whimsical paint job are perfect for seasonal flowers.

Creepy. That bird gets me every morning.

This is the pantry that dad built.

This used to be my dining room table. I LOVE a good face lift!

Pumpkins from my garden, wooden box made from an old gate someone was throwing away. (Oh how I love a good junk pile.) Old dining room chairs attacked with black spray paint and sand paper.

Adorning the adored red door.

Spooky creepiness for the kiddos.

Can't forget to show off the peaches the husband canned!
