Seriously? It's October?

Wow. I cannot believe we've reached October already and yet, here we are. It got me thinking about the rush of holidays we are about to be hit with - the first, of course, being Halloween. I don't typically do a ton of decorations for Halloween, but I do plan to add a couple things to our household to help get us in the fall spirit.

DIY tutorial

Create your own "Spooky Village" with items from your local Dollar Store and a bit of paint. Such a creative idea that would be a big hit with the kiddos.

As long as you have a covered front entrance, this would be a great way to greet your trick-or-treaters! All you need is a template, some black paper and a pair of scissors. Too bad our bats would get soaked. 

These ideas are really getting me in the mood to do some decorating around the house. I'll see what I can come up with and will show you all the details later. I'm sure I'll find an excuse to use my Cricut. :)

Until next time...
