OoooOOOoo... Halloween!

We love, love, love Halloween around here and, because of this, our house is looking pretty spooky...

The "blood" was added by melting a red candle
 and letting it drip over the white ones.  Cheap and easy!


My one Halloween concern is that we will have no candy for the neighborhood kids.  You see, my husband has a problem.  He's a chocoholic.  I admit that I will eat a piece from time to time, but I'm more of a bubble gum girl.  Here's hoping I can keep my husband out of the candy cauldron - at least for one day.

Console/Entertainment Center Thing

On my last post, I showed an old dresser that I found on craiglist.  I finished fixing it up and am so excited to finally put it on here.

Without the TV on top, it frees up space for Halloween decorations!
The side doesn't look like it's falling apart anymore.
I sanded it, of course, letting some of the wood show through.
Didn't realize the dogs' balls were underneath it.
Oh well, that's how it looks every day.

I am so happy to see fall here.  I love the cool weather.  It is such a nice change from the 100+ degrees we had there for a while.  I'm pulling out all of my hoodies, the Halloween decorations, and getting ready to do some yard work.  I hear this is perfect grass seeding weather?  We'll see I guess.  It's hard to grow grass in the Sahara!

Here's a photo that has nothing to do with anything at all... except that I love these dogs more than you can imagine.
