Halloween Decorating and Black & White Box Swap Sneak Peek

 

We hauled out all of the decorations this past weekend, and got most of the house decorated in my new fave "haunted mansion" style!  We used to be all about the "happy pumpkins" in this house, but lately I find that I'm gravitating towards more of a Munsters-style Halloween.  I find myself daydreaming about random things that I can spray paint black and then dunk in glitter.  That's normal, right?

In other news, my boxes are in the mail to my swap partners!  This was a fun swap, and it really got me in the mood for Halloween.  Here are some sneak peeks at the swap boxes that I made; I'll post full pics as well as a tutorial on what I did to decorate the boxes later in the week when I know my partners have received their packages.  Don't want to ruin the surprise!

 Hope you're getting in the mood for Halloween, too!  Lastly, if you're interested in doing a holiday stitchalong (or not) I'd still love to hear from you!  You can still leave a comment here, or on my stitching blog.  Thanks!

BOO!

Is it too early for Halloween?  The over-100 degree temperatures here have me longing for pumpkins and cooler weather!  So, early or not, I opened the Halloween crafting shop in my Etsy shop, and I've been filling it up with treasures.  Just today I got in these fabulous flowers in orange and black.  Inspires me for some spooky crafting!

Hope you're having a lovely summer day, and that it's cool where you are!  :)
