Happy Halloween

I hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween! We will be spending the day riding roller coasters at Six Flags in St. Louis.

This month has really flown by, but I wanted to show you my Halloween Tree before it was over. I found some branches and vines and painted them black and then stuck them in an old coffee can with rocks to support them. Then I made some flowers out of scrapbook paper to hang on it  .

I set the tree up in front of my “ghosts and ghouls” sign.

This is a bad picture, but I wanted to show you the coffee can. I painted it black and glued an orange ribbon on it.

Happy Halloween!!

More Fall Decor

I am enjoying the cooler temperatures here in Southern Illinois. I love being able to have my windows open and turn off the air conditioner.
I made this little sign to hang on the front deck. I distressed it more than I usually do, but I like the way it turned out.

I added a little bow for decoration.

I can't wait to watch Glee tonight!  Do any of you watch Glee?

Wall Bucket

I’ve been busy working on Fall decor and I remembered I hadn’t shown you my wall bucket yet. I originally got two of these wall buckets at a yard sale for free and I used one for Christmas last year, but hadn’t touched the other one. Here is the before..

It was in pretty rough shape.
And the after….

I painted it brown and rubbed some stain on it and it turned a wonderful copper color.

I picked the weeds out of my yard this morning. Yes I need to mow the yard…  I don’t know what they’re called, but I’ve been calling them cat bait since the cats wont leave them alone.

I am linking to the Show and Share Day at Just a Girl.
