Countdown to Halloween begins...







This is what happens when you are laid up in bed for a day with no responsiblities... well, I did start this 4 years ago, so it was due time! It's been so long, I had thrown away many of the pieces and had to recreate them, but it's nice to finally be able to hang it up and use it. The kids were completely thrilled when they got home from school and saw it.
I began this when Pottery Barn had one very similar, now they have one that is shaped like a house. It's an advent calendar for Halloween, each day in the pocket will be a tiny suprise for the kids. Today was spider rings... you can never have too many of those :) It isn't perfect, so don't bother to click on it and look closely... it's just for the kids and I know they don't care if all the rows line up perfectly... It'll just be a fun little way for them to get excited about Halloween. (not that they needed help, come on, what kids has to be prodded to be excited about dressing up and getting candy! :) Usually I start about now making my October dinners (the spooky food ones), we'll see when I get better what we can come up with this year. happy counting!
