BOO Pots

These ceramic pots were $1 a piece at Wal-mart.

I used the cheapest spray paint to paint them black.

I printed out the BOO letters and cut them out.

Taped them onto the pots to paint.

I dabbed cream white acrylic paint over the paper cut outs.

BOO!

Pumpkins are just the right touch.

And an autumn Mum to top it off!

Paper Bag Pumpkins

These paper bag pumpkins have become my prized autumn decor.

Each one is made by one of my little punkins when they were in kindergarten.

Here's the one that started it all.  

From 2001 to 2009.

My collection is complete.

Super easy and fun to make....

-take a brown paper lunch bag and stuff it with old recycled paper or plastic bags 

-tie the top with a rubber band.

-paint the bag and let dry

-tie raffia, pipe cleaner or a ribbon for the top

-name and date the bottom

This pumpkin patch has their own place of honor.

Bewitching Pillows

It's wonderful to have creative friends that will teach you their trade.

Thanks to an amazingly skilled friend, I learned how to piece and quilt these enchanting pillows. 

  

Adorable!

Winsome!

Charming little witchy feet.

-sigh-

It doesn't take much for me to sigh in delight - especially during autumn time.

Thrifty Pumpkin Frame

I found these two items at the thrift store.

Frame - $1.50

Pumpkin Hanging - $1

Someone put a  lot of love into this pieced pumpkin wall hanging.

I painted and shabbied the frame up a bit.

I used crumbled packing paper for the back ground.

Then I just stuck the hanging onto the paper.

Now it's finding new love in our home.

Fabric Punkins

These little cuties are popping up everywhere.

I couldn't resist - I had to make some.

I bought some fat quarters at Wal-Mart for $1 each.

I used this tutorial and this tutorial as my guide.

Check them out.

Past Goodies

Here are some of my past fallish goodies that come out every year to spook our home.

Autumn Wreath

2009

I totally cheated and bought this fall goodie.

I love the colors, the acorns and the pine cones.

Boogie Monster

2001

I was on a tole painting spree in 2001 - right before my third little one joined our family.

Pumpkin Welcome

2001

This is my favorite of all projects that year.

Falling Leaves Sign

2001

So cute!

Spooky Ghosts

1996

Click here to see it's new makeover.

My older three kids were actually quite distraught over it's new look.

One even had a tear in his eye.

Sniff.

I felt bad.

Batty Bat

1995

I was going to give this little guy a makeover, however, after the kid's reaction to the Spooky Ghost's makeover, I couldn't do it.  Who knew kids were so sentimental.

Scarecrow Hat

1994

I made this cute scarecrow as a brand new newlywed.

It will always grace our kitchen door.

Thanks for strolling down memory lane with me.

Autumn Vase

Make your own stick bundle vase.

Take a large can and cover it with black paper.

Gather branches from outside and hot glue them around the can.

 Add a ribbon and some buttons.

Pop in some autumn goodness.

Lookin' all snazzy on my Autumn ledge.
