Okay, I should be going to work right now. But I'm not. I'm blogging. Go figure! This decor actually isin't so spooky, but it is pretty dang fun! I LOVE Halloween! It's actually my favorite holiday. What's not to love? Dressing up, treats and really cute decorations! Speaking of which, I've been working on this little gem for the past couple of days for my office door
I think it turned out pretty cute - even if it was a little confusing at first to put together. It's an advent calendar for Halloween (if you couldn't tell!) You put on a number every day leading up to Halloween. It actually came in a kit from Heartland Paper Company. I seriously heart that store. I just wish it was a little closer to me. Maybe not, though. I'd probably spend even more time and money there than I already do! Anywhoo.....this is kind of a dry run for a project I'm working on for Christmas. I was so excited on Monday night to actually put everything together! Then I got a call from my mom last night saying she had been "ghosted" at work. Ya know, like when you were a kid? You put a ghost with a saying and a treat on someone's doorstep, ring the doorbell and run like crazy? Ahhh, to be a kid again. So, I was already at another craft store (shocker, right?) and started looking for ideas so she could pass the ghost on to someone else. I saw the vinyl for this little number
found some paint, a board, my distressing ink and viola, a really cute Halloween decoration. In fact, I liked it so much, I'm going back today to get more vinyl to make me another one for my house and maybe my office. Oh the possibilities! Okay my lovelies, off to work I go. Hope this inspired you to make some spooky decorations of your own. If so, I'd love to see them!

I love it! Halloween is London's favorite holiday too and I need to get with it and start making some Halloween decor. I've been looking for cute ideas. I have ZERO Halloween decor. Thanks for even more ideas! Now to get to work...
My problem is, I've been spending my time on Christmas presents since I need them done by Thanksgiving!
So dang cute! I need some more hours in my day! I want everything you make!! So darling!
I LOVE your creativeness! I wish we had some of the craft stores out here in Cali like the ones you have in UT...They don't sell vinyl here ready to apply. Anyway...I'm serious about hiring you for some cute halloween decorations. I don't expect them for this year, but...you know :) Did you get my email I sent with our Thanks???
