Pumpkin LIght

This light takes

One glass block with a hole drilled for lights to be inserted. (If you drill your own you need a diamond bit drill.) They are about $15.00 and will do about 30 blocks.

You can use vinyl for the face, but I used black cardstock.

Orange Cellophane

Fall Pick

Fall Ribbon

Pipcleaner

Instructions:

Insert lights in block

Glue on Face

Cut a big square of cellophane and craw up around block and use a pipecleaner to make it tight around the top. (Be sure and leave the excess coming up the top)

Add ribbon tied into a bow and pick

Plug in your light!

Hope You Have A Spook-tacular Halloween!

Halloween is back again... with all the frightful fun, screeches and screams !
I love Halloween - at our house we don't do scary, but we have a great time.
The cobwebs have been strung, the carmel corn is popped, and the costumes are getting dusted off! Here are a few things we have done to help "scare" up some fun at our home!

WELCOME!

Welcome

We gathered in the gourd-ous pumpkins, squash and the corn stalks from our garden to help greet all our spooks and ghosts coming to visit....please come in. (whispering - careful of the things that are hanging in the tree.....)

You can come and sit a "spell" in our living room. You will see the witches that have gathered on the fireplace, the village and the decorations on the piano.
This is the centerpiece on the top of the piano with all kinds of ghosts and goblins hiding in the leaves and behind candles. Yes those are M&M's in the tall vases and candy corns holding the candles.
On the east wall is our "Spook-tacular" Halloween Village. It is filled with all kinds of memories with all the goodies that we have made every year as a family over the past 30 years. I love the ghosts with the ninja turtle masks painted on them and the witches with mascara and lipstick!
At night with the lights

If you turn around you can see into the entry and the door you just came in.

Let's creeep down the hall and go into the dining area....

Here is Frankie - our Halloween tradition! Isn't Halloween without him!

From here you can go left in to the terror-ific powder room......(you will be surprised when you realize the curtains here and in the kitchen are made with shredded black plastic bags)......

If you turn right you will go into the dining/ family area. Our houe isn't haunted but it is fun! We have beoo-tiful decorations (not too creepy). In the dining room is Grandma Mimi's Witches Kitchen. This is a fun place that help the little boys that call us Grandpa and Grandma scream with delight because of goodies they find here and the fun thngs they have helped us make find their home here.
