Halloween Craft

They have these adorable pumpkins at the Dollar Tree. I scooped up 3 of them to make a cute Halloween topiary.

First I chopped off the stem on 2 of the pumpkins to make it easier to stack.
Then I busted out the Heirloom White spray paint and gave all 3 a good coating.
My wonderful husband screwed nails into the pumpkins to stack them.
I used my cricut to cut out the vinyl letters and Halloween Decor.

And the final project...


Isn't it adorable? I think I will put it in the entryway, but still not sure of the final spot. Will post a picture of it later with the rest of my Halloween Decor.
Now run off to Dollar Tree and buy these cuties up!!

FALL-MANIA




Have I ever told you how much I love fall decorations?? Well I do...like really!

Today I started with a few bins of my fall decor for inside the house. It prompted me to do an entire deep clean of the house too, which made my husband very happy.
I love the harvest decor for several reasons, the first because the entire house starts to smell like cinnamon. The second because I don't have many holiday decorations for the summer, so this transforms the house from a boring, every-day house into a festive Fall house!
Lastly, I love decorating for Fall because from now until February, my house is filled with coordinating holiday decor (Halloween is my absolute favorite). Doesn't it put you in a good mood to see all the decorations?
Here is what my mantle looks like everyday (booooring....)



And here's after I attacked it with fall stuff:






And now the glass table in the foyer..





I took the cloche from here (that I made from a GW cheese dome and candlestick) to display my ceramic pumpkin. Isn't it cute?
