Our Halloween Decorations

I made silhouttes for all of the front windows. There are 2 witches, a cauldron, rats, bats, spider, ghosts, a cat. Then I put cheesecloth and frayed the bottoms and hot glued spiders like they are crawling out of the cauldron. I have a spider web on our door I made with white thick curly yarn tied in knots and a large black paper spider on the the web that I cut out. I will also make more giant paper spiders to go on the house. Like a spider invasion. I bought some orange paper chinese lanterns and cut out spiders I enlarged on the copier and glued them on the lanterns and will put battery operated tea lights in all of them. This is just the beginning of my Halloween decorations. I will gradually collect fake pumpkins and decorate them with stenciled spiders, and a few other carved pumpkins. I would also like to make a graveyard with fake mummy's and headstones, etc. I am having a good time doing this. It is fun seeing it all come together.

Brenda, I love this, you shoud post pictures soon. And, I am sorry, I just read your question about facebook and it has probably been there forever. Facebook is like a network for whomever. You have to set up an account. Kind of like blogger I guess, but you don't post things. It is very plain an is mainly to easily communicate with friends. Like Myspace, but not all fancy. You can set up your page by answering questions about yourself, and you can also make ablums for people tp look at. It sounds fancy, but it is not, it is just easy. You can comment on peoples pages and you get new feeds to updates and changes people have made on their pages. I would tell you to just look at my page, but you would have to sign up and then request me as a friend or vice versa. Let me know if you get an account! (Like Blogger, I hardly check it though since I am busy with school right now though)
