I'm calling this "take 1" because I may make some modifications once I officially pull out my Halloween decorations from the garage. In the meantime, I had a mini splurge at Michael's this past weekend because everything was on super sale. Yay! All of the creepy stuff on this mantle cost me about $13 ($13 too much according to my husband, but that's neither here nor there). Anyway, here are some pics of my spooky mantle (take 1):
Spooooooky?? Spoooooooooky!
They had these awesome beige "ghoslty" branches on sale for $2 each - score! I think the butterflies were $1 each or something like that. The perfect spooky touch :)
Of course I added my book page "Boo" letters, and I am pretty much in love with my $2.50 crow!
Hayden still clings to my leg the entire time we are in the Halloween section, so I didn't want to go too scary with it. More eeeeeerie than scary.
I love how the Eiffel tower in the pic looks kind of ghostly too. Perfect!
We'll see what other spooky treasures I can find in my stash to add to it. S-p-o-o-k-y!!!!!!!! Boo!
Happy Moan-day people!
