Haunted Happens!

At least at OUR house LOL!

Here are a couple more photos and LO's for you to check out.

Can you tell that halloween is my favorite holiday? I am not even sure why, but I love the colors, dressing up in costumes, and enjoying the spookiness of it all!

My back screen porch is decorated with old torn and frayed curtains that flutter in the slightest breeze - they were the inspiration for the ones in my new kit. We also have a small imitation fire thingy - it has an orange light and a fan that blows the sheer fabric and really does look like a tiny campfire. Between that, the spiderwed throw on our old chair and the jack o' lantern, it really sets the mood.



Here is the entrance to our front deck:




Hank in the truck with just some of our giant pumpkins We carved a couple of these giants for our halloween party, but we gave most of them away to friends & family with children so they could share the fun!

They grew amazingly large out next to the barn where we used to keep our horses.


Here I am with the pumpkins...

More spooky fun stuff - We went out for a drive on Sunday and had Breakfast at an Inn in Jaffrey N.H. It was a lovely old bed and breakfast ~ the meal was delicious! I had a Fried egg BLT with homefries and fresh fruit - Sooooooo yummy!

Below you can see the center of town had been taken over by zombies!










I am really looking forward to going to the the Pumpkin Festival this Saturday - lots of great photo opportunities! My youngest son and friend are going with me. We'll carve some pumpkins Friday night to bring with us.


Here's the Halloween Hybrid Freebie for you. This looks so cute and was super easy to make! You just print this out on 8.5 X 11" paper, then mount on heavy cardboard and cut out. Glue the two sides together and decorate with ribbon for a fun doorknob hanger.
