Decorating for Halloween and Thriller!

My daughter and I decided to dress up the place a little last week. She did most of the work. She was really into it. We added little touches here and there and lots of candles. I love the smell of pumpkin and apple spices in the fall.

I recycled most of my decorations from last year. You might remember my creepy skeleton face. I found it over at the Graphic Fairy. I also found this hand too. I already had a couple of frames, so all I had to do was get the black spray paint out.

This cute little sparkle tree is from Micheal's in the scrap booking department. All I did for this was place it on scrap book paper.

I placed the Heebie Jeebies in the down stairs bathroom.

I thought that was apropo. Ha ha! I don't go all out for Halloween decorations. Just a few touches here and there. Just enough to get in to the spirit of the season. This is a great time of year! I really love this cooler weather. You can't have Halloween without the classic thriller!

Have a great Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

I hope y'all are having a fun and safe Halloween.

A Halloween Treat! Candy Corn Bark

This weekend I decided to try out a new recipe I found in blogger land. I found some really yummy ideas! Recipegirl.com is a super site to check out. My oh my, white chocolate. Talk about flipping your skirt! Ha ha!

My favorite, pumpkin! I can't stand it! She must have twenty recipes for pumpkin.

I also have a another blog that I follow. Check it out, http://http//www.yourhomebasedmom.com/ She has lots of super ideas too.

Here are the ingredients. Pretzels, Oreo's, candy corn, sprinkles and the beloved white chocolate. Sounds good right!

You can follow Lori 's directions at Recipe Girl. I had a little trouble heating the chocolate. Some people use candy disc but I used Nestle Baking Bar. I was afraid it was going to burn or scorch. Anyway, I don't think I heated it enough. This is my first attempt at making candy.

I tryed to make chocalate covered pretzles but my chocloate seized. Really! What's that all about? I had to throw the whole thing away.

It's so yummy! It's so colorful! It's so...love it! !!!!

Doesn't this look cute.

Have a super day!

Halloween Mantel

I did a little change there. I think I like this one on the botton better. What do ya think?

I like the candy corn better. I think.

But since I took this pic it has changed again.

What do ya think of my creepy skull photo? Thank you Graphics Fairy. You should go their and check out all her Halloween ideas. My son and I aged it with coffee grounds and flame from a lighter. It was a little difficult taking that picture without me in it. Ha ha that would be creepy!

I have a problem with the brick on my fire place. It's so dark because of the brick that I have a hard time decorating it. I really want to dry wall it or paint it. Just something to lighten it up. Just one more thimg on my wish list.

Have a great day!
