October is flying by.
Last week I saw a round mirror decorated with bats at a chain store and thought it was a great idea. Since we have plenty of left over bats (and they do keep well) it was a totally free, no-brainer diy. Then I remembered there was a purple, faux neon bat tucked away somewhere and suddenly we had a color scheme, too. Then the Skeleton Crew volunteered to bring my vision to life.
Rummaging around in the basement turned up all sorts of long forgotten purple stuff. Many, many strings of lights, as well as a tangled mess of twiggy branches and lots of spooky artificial flowers.
Ivy started by putting together one big dark arrangement . . .
. . . and then a creepy little one. So far it was working out.
Spenser kept a skeptical eye on the progress without interfering, too much.
In no time, after borrowing the haunted houses from the mantle to go with all the black jack-o-lanterns, the decorating was done.
Then all they had to do was wait for the sun to go down for the final reveal.
Well . . . it doesn't look that bad but it's definitely not staying like this!
But Debbie . . . pastels?
It was a good effort. Maybe we'll try this again for Spring-o-ween, or maybe not.
Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!
