Halloween Decor PT. 2

If you didnt check out yesterdays post for the inside of my house Click Here
 
I always concider the outside of the house to be important. You have to have a cool spooky outside. My house is personally not up to where I want it to be. I'd love to have a graveyard and maybe get a fog machine and hang something from the trees but this year it just was not within our budget to do it, but one year it will be the scariest house on the block!
 

This would be my main window. I love blood. I had these blood cling-on's in my window last year and just loved them! My little skull man in the window there lights up. My ghosts houl and light up as well. The skulls sticking out of the ground are supposta be lights but I dont have an outlet outside so they are just out for show. Like my spider? you ca get it at Target. There are huge spiders all over peoples houses in my neighborhood.

I love my front door! I love the spiders all over it. I love my new wreath I made this year, which I am sorry its hard to see the Sun was bright! Can you see the eyes? Best part of the whole wreath. I also love my little Frankie. My 1st Halloween decoration I ever bought. Evelyn loves him too.
This would be just the otherside. Not so scary or cool. I want to do more with the windows. Im still deciding what to do. Not too fancy I know, but you can never have too many spider webs!

Heres the links for the crafts again.

Eyeball Wreath, what I did instead of doing white stryofoam balls was I bought glittered styrofoam and it really made the eyes pop. I also bought googley eyes with lashes. Both at Hobby Lobby. Click Here for the tutorial.

Magnet Spiders- seriousy easy easy EASY! I would do it again in a heartbeat litterally took me maybe 45 minutes to cut and glue everything. Super simple! Click Here for the tutorial.

Halloween Decor Pt. 1

Halloween is by far my favorite Holiday! I love spooky things, ghosts, pumpkin anything, costumes! Everything about it is awesome! I have been known by my family and friends to start searching for Halloween decor inside and out from the day it hits the shelves. This year since I was home for a while I got to do alot of crafts for it! Thank you Pintrest!! At the bottom of this post will be the links to the crafts if you'd like to do them or Pin for later :)

This would be the bar that seperates my living room and dinning room. You might remember Ghost, Frankenstien and Pumpkin that I did before. I gave a Pumpkin away on a giveaway a few weeks ago! Most of these things I found at a shop called Tai Pan Trading Co in Salt Lake City, and just random spots. P and I love that Skull you see on #3 it lights up on the inside.

This is ontop of my fridge, you might notice the coupons behind the witch hat. These witch hates light up and the pumpkin with the ghost lights up as well. I love my metal spider too! I have been meaning to spray paint it with glitter.
This came from P a few years ago, before we got married. I was having a bad day at work and he sent me a flower arrangment. The flowers are fake now but I made it pretty close to the arrangment he did give me. Oh and I kept that card. What a dork.
Do you like my little Ghost lattern? another boutique find :)
This is another craft I did at home. Evelyn's cute little feet!! I just love this!! I cant wait to do one for Christmas!

These little guys I got at Target last year that I displayed on my staircase. This year they are little guys Evelyn loves to play with. They end up all over the house. Her favorite is the pumpkin guy.
My front door! I love my little spiders! They are a craft and are also on my front door.. I got my cute little sign at Hobby Lobby last year.

Tomorrow I'll be doing my outside...and wont be such a big post!

Heres a few links to the crafts in these photos.

Evelyns 1 Year Photo Book

**Dont forget to enter my giveaway!! Click Here!**

I wanted to be able to share Evelyn's one year photobook that I made on Shutterfly! I am a horrible scrapbooker and so is my Mom...and I always hated that she never did anything with my photos that was kinda cool.

One of my biggest goals is to store photos on an external hard drive and print out lots of them! Since I already have to print out photos for my MIL, I usually do them at the same time. I like the idea of have the photos and (hopefully) never loosing them. So far I have done awesome at hiding them in my sock drawer (I know), and printing our our memories! Usually when Shutterfly sends me codes for free...anything! I jump right on it!

I used my monthly updates from my blog in Evelyns photobook as well. Its great to have those to hold onto.

I plan on doing one of these every year! Its probably going to cost the same amount of money to scrapbook anyways! But I love my work! I worked hard and I hope you enjoy it!

Shutterfly photo books offer a variety of layouts and cover options to choose from.

I can do it!

I have to admit....I am not creative. Honestly. I suck. Its bad. Its a waste of money.
Well everyone was talking about Pintrest...I figured..HEY I might as well look at it :) Well my friend Jennie has "pinned" this cute little thing! Black Tulle Wreath I loved it and tagged it...I knew I sucked at making things...so I thought I'd just buy it off Etsy.
My friend Katie @ Life of a Army Wife, "pinned" the same wreath and decided to make it. So I thought I would try it if she did good and said it was easy...well she said it was easy. So...I decided its time to try and be crafty.
Yesterday while running my errands..I went to Joanns and grabbed the things I needed, and came home and got to work.
Thanks to Katie she gave me a youtube link on  how to make it! I swear I have some of the sweetest friends.

Anyways I just had to say how proud I am of myself for doing this!! Today I am doing another one...only Green and Red! (ps I'm thinking of hot gluing a skeleton onto the wreath)(oh and my tulle has sparkles on it!!)
