Along Came A Spider: Halloween Decorating Ideas

September 17, 2012 · Comments { 1 }

My Halloween decorating is going to be a little more focused this year. In fact, I may have to use a microscope to see some of the little creepy, crawly friends that will be on display. I’m talking about spiders and lots of them.

I’ve searched the internet, blogs and Pinterest for some of my favorite spider Halloween decorating ideas. Here’s a sampling of what I found…

You’ve Been Boo’d – Happy Halloween!

October 28, 2011 · Comments { 2 }

Getting boo’d is a fun tradition in our neighborhood we look forward to. This year my kids were really into helping make the baskets for the families we were going to “boo.” Candies and other Halloween trinkets went in the baskets, but I thought my oldest had the best idea to wrap them in fake spider webs. Isn’t that so creative?

Once you’ve been “boo’d” you place the sign on your front door to let other neighbors know. Our boo sign somehow disappeared. My youngest said that the oldest threw it away hoping we would be boo’d again. {smile} So, we made our own boo sign {above}, but below is a darling you can download at {grey square designs} via Pinterest.

Have you been boo’d?

Wishing you a Happy Halloween!
