I've been having some form of creative craving lately, so I decided to knock off a wreath that I saw at Fairfield Garden Center. It was done with black flowers, black feathers and had an ugly looking witch on it. I didn't care for the witch, so I thought I'd make one without it. I went to Michael's and purchased the items I thought would make a nice replica of my "inspiration" wreath. Natch, I spent more money making my own wreath than if I had just purchased the one I liked and ripped the witch off of it. Anyway, this is the final result:
The sun was shining when I took the picture, so the right side of the wreath looks a little gray. It's black, though. For my first attempt with a glue gun, I thought it came out fairly well.The wreath making got me more into the spirit, so I did some more decorating. I put a skull with flickering red eyes in the picture window and hung some nasty looking bats over his head. It looks pretty spooky at night. I also got a few of those plastic window covers that have scary images on them. The light from inside illuminates them and makes it look like something ghoulish is looking out the windows. You can't see it in the daytime, so I'll try to take a picture at night.
A couple more pics of my Halloween House:

Knowing your normal regard for people, I'd expect you'll be keeping these decorations up year-round.
Dear Morticia:
My children have gone missing. Have you seen them anywhere?
When Hansel & Gretel stop by be sure to show them your new "Easy-Bake" oven.
All kidding aside, the house looks great. MF
Place looks great. When is the Halloween party. I especially like the gourd in the pic with your dogs. It seems very happy that it is halloween. It reminds me of a man I used to know which is very scarry.
