Well this here is my first ever post done in WordPress. And I’m confused by a lot…simple things like changing font sizes and getting rid of huge line spacing like you see here in this post. But, I’ll figure it out…ack. This whole change thing is going to take some time for me!
Anyway, life goes on and I’m realizing that Halloween is coming up on us SO fast. The kids don’t even have costumes yet! Bad momma.
But the step is decorated and the mantel is done…that counts right?!
I thought it might be fun to show you how things looked around here last year and the year before. We always have so much fun decorating and carving pumpkins! Maybe you will find some inspiration for your spooky day!
These are the pumpkins we carved a couple of years ago! So fun! Walmart has the best pumpkin carving kits, and I know that these look complicated, but really they were so easy to do!
This is our step last year! Our *sick* pumpkin is always a big hit every year! Too funny! And you might notice my Spooky Eyeball Wreath. I still love this wreath! People found it quite spooky, so I say I made it just right then!
This green gourd was my favourite last year! My Mom found these giant gourds at a market and gave them to me for my fall display. I took one look at it and knew it would make the perfect Halloween carving! Isn’t it so great?! Carve those gourds!
Here is my Halloween mantel from last year. I love the orange/purple/black/white colour combination so much that I did something very similar this year…stay tuned to see that!
And a little vignette I put together. Love this lace pumpkin! Aren’t white pumpkins the best!
And my Eyeball wreath. Love it. Don’t need to say much else about it…pretty self explanatory, lol!
You might remember this Spider Light wreath that I made a couple of weeks ago! This looks so great on our front porch at night!
I hope you enjoyed this little Halloween round-up! I really love Halloween and we have so much fun with it every year! Can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to this year, so stay tuned!
Have a spookalicious day!

Hi I'm Jo-Anna! I mom. I blog. I cook. I craft. I like pretty things.
Love the eyeball wreath, very cool idea!
Thank you Cheryl!
You’ve done some great pumpkins! I really want to do a big one with a little one in its mouth, like it’s biting it. lol
Was your move to WP really hard? I want to make the move too. My hubby uses it for his website and loves it. He says it’s much easier and they have way more cool widgets/gadgets. You should do a post about it. =)

BTW, that french toast dish looks soo good!
Love everything you put together … much talent you do possess Jo-Anna. Send me a tiny bit please.
Thank you Cindy!
These are awesome! I love the one that looks like its throwing up its own guts! Do you guys still keep the tradition of handing out candies? I notice that people are doing that less now :( Kids in this generation doesnt get as much fun/candy as I use to :(
