I can do "cute" too

Contrary to what previous blog posts might suggest, it isn't just the potential gore of Halloween that excites me. It's not all blood and guts. Honest.

Sure, I love a good scare, and the outside of my house will be spooktacular. (And definitely creepy.)

But inside, I'm aiming for a more "cute" Halloween look. No, really.

It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and although I will be making turkey on Monday (huzzah!), the rest of the weekend will be devoted to writing/editing, and decorating the interior of my house - "cute" Halloween style.

Much to my husband's chagrin, I plan to have every room in the house decked out with something from a long list of craft project ideas.

Most of those ideas come from Pinterest (shocking, I know), but they require limited supplies. In fact, most of the items are likely hidden in your garage, the great outdoors or the craft room.





Here's a few of the projects I'm working on:

Jazz up an old chalkboard. Use food coloring for the drinks - water, juice, martini, whatever your poison. 

I'm so doing this for the dining room. Black construction paper, scissors and tape.

More black construction paper. Love it!

Tissue paper and toilet paper - perfect cute addition to the bathroom.

I'm going to use construction paper to tape onto some of our mirrors. You could also paint.

I'm sure there will be more - but I can't share ALL my secrets. Yet.

24 more sleeps until Halloween. It's getting closer...
