Enter If You Dare!

Ok, I'll admit it..... I love to haunt my house for Halloween! I tend to go nuts when I see stores putting out their Halloween inventory. So far this year I have been good and have not bought anything more than $5.00. Of course it's only the beginning of the month!

I plan on taking my cheerful flowers out of the cauldron and replace it with candy for any trick or treaters that venture close. If they can charm the witch that is!

This year I set up a witches table complete with potion bottles that I made. I had the bottles for about 2 years before I got around to adhere the rub-on labels to them. My mother had found the bottles for me at a thrift store while she was still living. Most had oils with unknown items floating in them.

I found the potion labels at Michael's last year and decided it was easier than printing my own. I have shining on the table from the back a green spot light which gives off an eerie glow.

 I hope I'm not "bugging" anyone with my decorations. The bugs are some of hundreds hanging around. I would of loved to adhere them going up the wall but my hubby wouldn't let me! (We are having contractors come to repair siding & windows from their shoddy job and it would be useless to go throught the trouble) When you add a strobe light it makes you think that they are actually moving. Gives are real creepy feeling if you hate bugs.

Most of my props are from things my daughter and friends used to haunt their high school for a fun fund-raiser for their high school band. It is always a big hit with the area kids! Hence, the reason my skull is dripping in blood. I seemed to always be the mother they came to for help setting up. Not every mom knows how to make homemade blood cheap.
