Do you decorate scary for Halloween or make a cute fall display with hay, smiling jack-o-lanterns and gourds? I use to do the latter but a few years ago I got tired of the “perfect” Martha Stewart fall look with the stacked Cinderella pumpkins, and so I switched to scary decorations.
The switch didn’t cost me much because all you really need is cobwebs which you can buy at the 99 cent store. Every year I add a few new items to the collection. This year I added the hanging limbs from the tree, the scary picture and the Beware tape. Once again I found all this stuff at the 99 cent store so I only spent 8 dollars on decorations this year.
I will buy a few pumpkins for carving but I refuse to spend 50$ on a bunch of pumpkins that will get tossed in November. Pre-recession I used to line my walk way with pumpkins, oh how I miss those days! Oh well, if I really want more pumpkins I can just grow them in my yard next year.
I have to say I really had fun decorating today. I felt like my old self again.
Have a wonderful weekend and if you haven’t yet decorated, hope I inspired you to get on it.

I did corn my own corn this summer but it didn’t taste very good. It was kinda chewy, so glad at least i had the stalks for decorations. xoxo tiffani

I just erased my long-A comment on my phone. Ugh. Love the cobwebs. Will have to get them for our porch.

Halloween is one of the holidays that are just kind of so so for me. I could care less either way. I don’t decorate for it actually but I don’t mind dressing up and going to parties. Now that Rey is starting to get more involved I think it might change.
And I’m so glad you found your phone!!
