Last week my 3 year old niece Erica Elise stepped in my house - looked around, and loudly announced, "Aunt Lisa I LOVE your 'pooky house!" Guess what - so do I. Halloween is 2nd only to Christmas around here. I have so many things that I have collected over the years - and I love all of it - so I put out all of it. Uh huh...there is quite a bit. But it is all so fun I can't pick my favorite..

| Remember Trolls? Jacey and Bryson loved these when they were little. |
There's the country look - I love all the grungy fun homespun. Grungy fabrics and muted colors. It all makes me smile.
 |
| I have this cool antique screen door that I decorate for each season |
If I had to choose a favorite it would definitely be the vintage stuff. I love Bethany Lowe. She is a designer that really gets the vintage look. I would be her biggest fan - if I could afford to be. I did make some stacking boxes on a pedestal inspired by her collections. My "vintage look" bingo game is one of my favorites. Oh - and the candy bowl and platter - and the stacking boxes. See, I am a hopeless Halloween addict!

| Mom, Jacey and I made the cool vintage blocks at a class at Heartland Paper company. I love the apothecary jar full of Mary Jane peanut butter kisses.Mmmmm. |
 |
| The topper on my vintage box. Cute huh. |
Several years ago I purchased a realllly ugly coat rack for $12. It was faux oak - yummy (not). I painted it black, distressed it, and sprayed it with purple glitter spray. Now it is the perfect place to hang my cape and hat after a day of "witchy business".
I have collected a few fun witches over the years too. I like "cute" witches.
Since I have had quite a bit of free time on my hands lately it has been fun to spend time crafting. Jacey and I have made quite a few fun things together. We had to stop because her house is full. LOL

| Luminaries from this website. Look at that cute little Bryson. |

| Jacey was about 4 in this photo. I miss the days when they were little. |
 |
| Tried my hand at Subway Art. It was really fun. |
 |
| Star on my porch |
 |
| Potion bottles. Got the labels here The bottles were from Hobby Lobby - of course. |
 |
| Saw this little candy dish at Swiss Days for $12. Made my own for $3 |
 |
| This is one of my favorites. It is from the same link as the luminaries above. |
Thanks for dropping by to visit our "pooky" house. Like I said, Halloween is my bliss - especially now that I don't have to make costumes anymore. Happy Halloween everyone.
