Here's a true story my husband brought home from work: One of his male co-workers went home and his wife had purchased a ceramic bunny from some expensive store.
Husband: What's this?
Wife: An Easter decoration. We don't have any Easter decorations.
Husband: But we don't have any money!
Wife: But we don't have any Easter decorations!
That, my friends, is the reason I rarely decorate for holidays. I can understand spending money on permanent decorations for your home, but have a hard time with the ones that are only there for a few weeks.
That being said, I have felt a little envious of all my neighbors with their cute fall decorations lately. So when I was standing in line at the grocery store and saw
this, I decided it was cheap enough and cute enough for me to use this fall. Introducing the Candy Corn Wreath!
Simple to make-- you only need a glue gun, a wreath, and candy corn. Lots and lots of candy corn! This photo is misleading, as I ended up using about 5 bags of the stuff.
I look forward to candy corn every Halloween. They are so cute, sweet, and the bright colors just make me happy.
They don't together perfectly, but the end result is still good enough to eat!
Happy Halloween!
I bought some styrofoam balls in various sizes and spray painted them black. All the kids on my street wanted to know what I was up to with these balls on sticks stuck in my grass.
After the paint dried, I glued a small ball to a large ball to form a head and body.
I added wiggly eyes and pipe cleaner legs, and here we are:
Two spiders ( a mom and a baby according to my girls) hanging from their spider web in our family room!
I wanted to give you a heads up-- in November I will be doing a special feature called "Thankful To Be A Mother." It will include my favorite tips, crafts, and thoughts centered on being a good mother. Be sure to check back often!
