Cool Displays

Bellbuckle store window




I found some of these on the web ( sorry I didn't note where I got them. Stupid of me. Some very talented and fun people came up with these) and some in a Bellbuckle store display. I just think they are really cool easy to do things I may try next Halloween.

I SEE DRUNK PEOPLE... IN MY KITCHEN!

OGM! We had a blast! The costumes were awesome. Greg did NOT come as the duck hunter!!! Guess he shed that along with other things... any way... Andy made a GREAT Phil Fulmer. He was a total scream! Had the mannerisms down pat. Jennifer really looked like Sarah Plain it was eriee...



I'm quite sure there were some groaning people here in the neighborhood this morning. We all ate and drank too much! Linda's Devilish crab dip is to DIE FOR! Greg you didn't have to eat all the Jello shots! I bet he is one hurting puppy today... Any way Fang-tastic guest! Spooktacular!

GHOUL OF YOU TO VISIT US! HOPE YOU HAD A GASLY TIME!

Deadly details...

Favors for the costume party

It's the detail that make it....

MONSTER ARE AFRAID OF US!

Why because we eat them!

These are my "monster" no-bake cookies with red hots for eye and black gel pupils.

2 cups sugar
1/2 baking cocoa
1/2 milk
1/4 cup butter (half of a stick)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Put all ingredient in a sauce pan on the stove top. Bring these to a boil stirring. Let boil 1 minute only. Take off heat and add

1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 peanut butter

Stir till peanut butter is mustly melted in to mixture. Add

3 cups of quick oats and stir till oats are covered. Drop by teaspoonfuls on parchment or wax paper (add eyes as you drop them) let cool. Will be solid in 5 to 10 minutes.

ENJOY!

Do Dish Pan Hands Pass For Monster Hands?

I bet my breakfast nook is scarier than yours....

I really do LOVE my creep spider Halloween gobbets , flutes and shot glasses... not to mention my BLEEDING SKULL punch bowl, & all the trays serving bowls etc... I mean who wouldn't? (well if they were a Halloween freak like me). BUT one BIG draw back is nothing can go in the dishwasher. I got to spend some quality time at the kitchen sink yesterday. Not my idea of a FUN Halloween project but necessary since I store them in the attic off season. This is going to be the beverage station lined with grave stones...gives it that lovely homey feeling of a crypt, don't you think?

Center piece for the Bunco party ( hence the 2 on the grave stone for table 2)

simple lighting decoration. Draping things is my favorite!

Close up of center piece.

Well today I make cakes and cookies and shop for all the ingredient for tomorrow. The upstairs will be cleaned just in case there is a party guest that winds up going upstairs for the other bathroom... Again not my favorite Halloween projects but necessary... Well maybe I should just dim the lighting a bit more... ROFL!

CREATURES CRAWL FROM EVERY TOMB...

I've learned one thing from Halloween decorating, DON'T THROW ANYTHING AWAY! I was able to use a lot of different things to build my ghouls. I now have a god use for all the girls out grown dress-up clothes... ROFL!

Dirt-Nap Den and Other Frights

these tombstones are just FUN. they are lighted and animated.



This is my horrible giant spider. No wonder I have a spider web problem!


Pen & guest book added all ready for our victims ...errr, I mean friends...


Pringles can makes a great vase. I just spray painted the flowers to go in it. They'll add the perfect height.

Haunting in progress

Every thing on the inside of my house is " a work in progress"!

This is the Hallway table so far...


Living room mantel just waiting for mice silhouettes I still have to cut out.


Foyer table & mirror



View from above of the foyer. My spider webs in progress




Grave stones waiting for their places.

FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Black Rose wreath

Easy inexpensive project. I just bought a small floral form at the Dollar store, a bunch of rose, and a can of black spray paint. The whole project took about 15 minutes. I left some red peeking through I liked the effect.

Haunting the John....

Skull wreath is my project for today! It was very inexpensive for all the frugal haunters out there! The wreath and 2 bags of mini skulls came from the Dollar Store. I invested all of $3. The white fabric was a old sheet I've been ripping up for various projects.

CLOSE UP

shower curtain from Target

That ghoul on the wall will dance and go off every time a guest goes into that bathroom during the party... I sure the first person will be surprised (evil laugh)






Gee, did I scare the "crap" out of you?

I had a SPOOKtatular time assembling the item and decorating the bathroom!
