Pinteresting: With some Halloween Decorations

I'm one of those people who decorates for NO HOLIDAY EVER.  I put up a 3' Christmas tree, if I put a tree up at all.  Don't get me wrong.  I love parties and I love to host parties, just not at my house.  I'm thinking Matthew or Ryan should have a party soon, so I can get my hostess with the mostest on.  I made pumpkin cheesecake and pear pie for Matthew's football get-together Sunday.  Recipes for me to post there.  I need to make that happen.  So much to do, so little time...  Have some decorations:




I love this for the simplicity.  I love this for the nontraditional colors.  I love this.  I think it would look stunning for v-day with l-o-v-e instead of boo.
One of my friends got gel splatters and handprints to put on the door.  I think those are fun!  Here's a door runner version.
 
If you ever wanted to know how Paula Dean decorates her house for Halloween, here ya go.
Vampire Pumpkins! I would also like to see these with bubba teeth.
 
Glow-in-the-dark paint.  Not just for Halloween.  Paint your own shapes on the ceiling in the kid's room!  Who needs star stickers?  Pshhh.
 
These bats are my favorite, but this is actually a link to 40 decor ideas.
 
Do you decorate for the holidays?  Let me know how into holiday decor you are in the comments below.  I may be late with my pinteresting today, but at least I'm here!

Pinteresting: with Halloween Makeup

Yes!  More Halloween stufffffsss!  I can't resist!

How simple does this look?  I think I would wipe all the makeup away by the end of the night, but it looks awesome!
 
I can only aspire to have makeup that looks this good.
 
For those that need more subtlety, have a little Jack Skellington.
 
 
 
I love the glitter and how it looks like there's a spider in her eye.  Do you think that's a contact?  Or just photoshop skills?  It's SO cool either way!
 
That's it for this week!  More Pinteresting next week!

Pinteresting: With some Costumes

I listed nearly all my old Halloween costumes on ebay last week, so I've taken to Pinterest to find inspiration for this year.  I'll hopefully have some money to spend on a new costume, or, better yet, come up with a crafty idea to make my own.  I used an LBD and about $5 in supplies to make my costume last year.  I was a black widow spider.  It was a piece of felt from the fabric store ($0.35), a hair comb ($3 for 8), a package of spider webbing ($1.97), and some black tulle ($1).  I think it was my best cosume so far and it cost me almost nothing--perfect because I was going to drop a few grand on a vacation a month later.  Anyway...on to the costumes.

Love the honey badger
 
Wonder if I could find this in football version?



 
 
You may be looking at my Halloween costume right here.  I could totally pull this off.
 
This pin has 29 DIY costumes for adults.  This one is my favorite!
 
My mom is a huge fan of Halloween.  She dresses up every day in October.  I think that's too much like work, but she enjoys it.  What are you wearing for Halloween? Let me know in the comments!
