Halloween Scrapbook Collage Serving Tray

DIY, Home Decor, Shopping, Stories

I have been holding on a to a booklet gifted to me by a friend of amazing art work by Austin Pardun. This printed booklet had their most popular work from 2017-2018 and I have always enjoyed their work and that vintage Halloween feeling that is prominently captured in their designs. I always wanted to find the best way to display these works, and I ultimately settled on incorporating them into a scrapbook-style collage onto a serving tray.

If you have some cool Halloween paper, cards, posters, etc you’ve always wanted to share and display – a decorative serving tray might also be the answer to your decorating needs as well!

Upcycled Halloween Planters

DIY, Family, Home Decor, Summerween

This past spring, I decided to put lots of beautiful planted flowers in old paint cans I recycled and decorated from my garage, which then of course inspired me to create a wonderland land of hand painted Halloween planters for the fall.

I decided to get started painting my goulish containers now so that I will have an abundance of pots for mums when the time comes to plant them ( because it is too darn hot to plant them in this Oklahoma summer heat).

The original post said $20, but I offered $15 (I’m always looking for the best deal) and the seller graciously accepted my offer.

My 2017 Creepy Castle

Home Decor

Haunt the halls with ghouls and goblins, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek! (That’s how the song should go, right?)

Today’s post are some photos of how I decorated the inside of my house. I’ve been slowly gathering even more haunting knick-knacks for this year’s decorating. I hope some of my display will inspire your decorating as well! Now that 4th of July has passed, I’m so ready to begin putting out the creepies! I probably won’t start until the first weekend of September. That’s not too early…
