Tonight Jeremy isn't home so it's just me and the dogs. The weather is so terrible the dogs won't even go outside so we are just hanging out. I'm drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows, working on Halloween decorations and watching
Trail Blazers Courtside. If you happen to be an Oregonian and a Blazers fan let me tell you, this show is so much funnier on television than it is on the radio. I heart
Mike Rice.
Anyway, a few people have asked me where I'm at with the
Halloween decorations. I'm really not that far to be honest, but I will have everything ready to put up by Saturday. The plan is to cut out a bunch of black silhouettes of different creatures. I'm going to have tons of mice scurrying against the base of the hallway, a creepy owl in my sewing room window with hopefully a green glowing light behind it, and a bunch of bats. Some of the bats will be attached to the side of the house while others will be folded to look like they are in flight attached to the roof overhang with fishing wire. There will be spiderwebs with lots of spiders hanging down from the overhang as well. Below are photos of the silhouettes I have been cutting out.
We better get a ton of trick-or-treaters to make this worth it! I already bought a ridiculous amount of candy and I am trying very hard to not eat it myself. I don't have much self control when it comes to chocolate. According to Jeremy I have 1/16 the self control he does when it comes to sugary treats. I think it might actually be worse than that.
Happy Monday!

I'm so impressed Kira! Are those your own design or did you use a template? They are so cute...if halloween things can be called cute! Looks like you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteI used a bunch of different things from the Martha Stewart website. Some were silhouettes I just needed to rescale. A few of them I wanted big but since I can only print on letter paper at home I scaled them to what I thought would work and just drew in the parts that didn't print. It was pretty easy. Cutting them out was kind of a pain though.
