scary stairway...

  Last few days before Halloween, and so of course… I am pulling my cute Halloween décor together.. here is a look! I started it before I left for the my weekend jaunt to Montana, and was just pulling a few last details together this morning! look for more FUN, FAB, SPOOKY House of 3 ideas coming at you HERE on the House of 3 blog!! we are just getting the spooks out of our system before the Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff starts it’s Creative Kick off (November 1^st!!) we are so excited … go and see our new Gratitude kits! soo cute! 

SOOO... i got some big branches... i actually was just SUPER inspired by the store 'dear lizzy' in Alpine! they have a HUGE amazing display! but i was thinking that i could use these branches to decorate for Thanksgiving and for Christmas... and if i am really lazy... they might serve me for Valentines day too!! wink...

 

i got these masks for like .99$ each somewhere...and i took some chandelier crystals and dangled them from the chins...they are pretty scary looking, and i thought that it might freak Capri and Connor out... but the only thing that is freaking them out is that i put a bag of candy corns in the vase w/ the candle, and they can't get them... i am afraid that they will break down and drag the chair over, climb up and it will all come crashing down.
 

i used the "haunted dingbat font" to print this out.

..and then pulled out some newspaper and made these little 'ribbons'... love them.  the best part was that i took my 'tim holtz tiny attatcher' and stapled these little spiders to everything, and Cory just sat and giggled! he thought it was the funniest thing ever!  so cute...

 

i used a "tattered angels"  stamp to make this fun sparkly OWL... once i pulled my glimmer mists out, i started spritzing EVERYTHING with the mists! man, that stuff is addictive!
 

i stole the idea for the 'candelabra' from Rhonna... simply cut the top off the lamp wall art, and top it with one of the chandeliers  ... so cute!!  we still have not carved pumpkins... so that must take place SOON! the kids can't wait!!

 

so until the pumpkins are carved... they just have glitter and all the extra jewels from the wall art on them! and i think they look fabulous just like that!! i can't find my bin that has my halloween costumes in it... i have seen it, but i can't seem to locate it- i need to put some real effort into that!!

i have a hugely busy week, and really i just need a glitter toe pedicure and a massage squeezed in, and i will be good to go!  There is still some time to sign up for my classes in Watertown, South Dakota that is Nov. 6&7... and the classes i am teaching in Florida and the beautiful NEW store... "SHE Scrapbooks"... you will be totally creatively charged, and SO happy as you finish all the projects, and get tons of ideas for the holiday giving season! going into the CRAZY holiday season, we all owe it to ourselves, to balance the demands with something FUN!!
