Remember these from last year?
Pain in my ass they were.
They were guide markers for visitors to follow leading up to the barn. But I had a hard time making the holes in the top bigger so I could fit fake candles in them to make them glow.
Well I used my crafters knives this time around, made a hole in the bottom, so I could flick the candle on and off, and glued the candle into the top with hot glue. Plus I made many more seeing as they were so easy to cut this time around.
Should be better for this year, so people aren’t screaming that they cannot see!

Turned this dollar store plastic skull into a paper mache creepy looking dead monkey skull thing…still have to paint it some more. But I think mine would be better for more creepy feel in decomposing leaves for my scavenger hunt.
Materials used: Newspaper, paper mache mix (3/4 glue 1/4 water), paint, plastic skull, hot glue gun (to make veins).

Halloween decor inspiration: put a glow ball in a white stocking and hang many from trees or ceiling.
Okay so these little darlings I got at the dollar store, they come in a sleeve of 5. Ultimately they are just mini jack-o-lantern baskets. BUT, me being myself, turned them into lanterns. I just stuck an imitation tea-light face down into the hole on the top (which is conveniently the right size to fit a tea-light), this way they can easily be turned on an off. I will be using them as a pathway guide for guests to find the barn where the party is located.

For the love of Autumn.Crisp days, morning dew. Hot apple cider, apple picking. Scarfs, boots and long sleeves. Warm colours, falling leaves. Mums, pumpkins and squash. Hay rides, pumpkin picking. Corn mazes, bonfires. Jack-o'-lanterns, ghosts and goblins. Halloween, trick or treating. Apple pie, warm blankets. Pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving. Fire places, first snow fall. Numb noses, rosy cheeks. ---------------------------------------------------------- I'm a 22 year old going on 23 that is still in love with Halloween, Heck you're never too old for Halloween, that's what I think.
I will continue having parties into my later adult years, until I can no longer marvel in the season that is Autumn, and the event that is Halloween.
I hope you enjoy my journey into the up coming autumn season, and my love for everything Halloween. My party this year is going to be big! I'm making some of these recipes and crafts come to life pretty soon. So stay tuned and keep an eye out for all my experiences in this upcoming fall season!
Yours Truly, Amanda.
