Angel: Halloween Decorations

Friday, September 21, 2012

I love Halloween!

My kids get so EXCITED & their excitement is contagious!

I've had this idea for a few years to make covered backs for the shelves in my family room.

I wanted them to be interchangeable for the different holidays.

I finally made them this year!

It all started last weekend when we were at Target & my husband found an outdoor fireplace on clearance for $17 bucks!

Isn't it cute?

It roasts marshmallows perfectly too & The cardboard box came in handy for my shelf idea!

I measured the backs of the shelves, cut my cardboard pieces & wrapped them in black & white polk-a-dot wrapping paper.

These are my shelves before...

Here they are with the decorative backing...

AND

Here they are all decorated for HALLOWEEN...

I love how they turned out!

My kids thought it was "spook"-tacular!

Now I just need to add some candy to my "mummy" dish!

Our family room is officially ready...

We got the witch flying over the moon a few years ago at an after Halloween clearance sale.

Then I made some paper bats to hang up around her. It's one of my favorite decorations!

I always add a fall wreath to the fireplace.

Then I replace my candles with pumpkins.

We found our haunted house last year at T.J. Maxx & I've had the cat for years.

I always know we've gone a little crazy when my sister walked in & said,
