happy halloween!! ...well, almost

I always like to start my Halloween decorating on the 1st. I figure that just early enough to enjoy them, and not be judged! Sadly, this year I was not granted the 1st off, and I instead I started decorating on Sep 24. I figured it would either be then, or Oct. 4th, and I could not just waste 3 days!!

Luckily most of my old decorations were still in good shape, so I didnt have to do a lot of shopping. Which is good 'cause have you seen this years decorations? Boring! Perhaps when it gets closer to the actual holiday, they'll put more out!

This year I wanted to try to stay with a them, Gothic Horror, 'cause for some reason I've been into skulls. Well as mentioned before there wasnt much to choose from, so I got a few things to fit in the theme, but not everything.

I love these skulls. They're candles, but there is no way I'm burning them!

 Original table, but with a new candelabra. Kinda reminds me of the one in The Haunted Mansion Ride!

 They are holographic. With neat frames, trying to stick with the theme. 

I also attempted a Martha Stewart project, mirror glow eyes, which didnt turn out super, but I wasn't going to spend money on mylar.

See I used aluminum, and if your not careful it'll get to crinkly. But who cares, I love them. I even painted the bottom eyes red. I think they're perfect. 

Ghost lights in the house this year, no outdoor area in my new place :(

Lastly my window. I got these creepy ghost for .50 cents added my spidewebs, and tra-la my spooky window! The other window is lame so I'm not posting til I have a better idea.

I love everything so far. I'm constantly on the look out for new decorations and new ideas. I'm working on a skull picture, the new window, and a Halloween tree, but if I left it as it was, I'd be happy. No outdoor patio sucks, but I think I did a great job adjusting!

Oh the Halloween book? Mom got it right! The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
