Halloween House

The weekend was wonderful. Full of inspiration and counsel from church leaders, plus I got a few things accomplished!! The house is Halloween ready!! Here are a few photos, maybe I will share more on another day.

Here is my old ladder decked out with Halloween pillows and such. I stitched all of them but the one on the bottom--my Rebecca, did that one.
Our fireplace mantel. This is my favorite area in the house to decorate.
The cat and hat are grunged and look so cute.
Savanna made this BOO set. The letters are wood, painted brown, and then she used scrapbook paper and mod- podged it on. She added ribbon and buttons--very cute!!
I made the wall hanging and stitcheries. The stitcheries are just tacked to boards with upholstery tacks. A very simple and quick project!!
Hope Monday is marvelous for you!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie
