Homemade Halloween 2011

Pretty much everyone at my Halloween "get together" made their own costumes. 

Thrift stores...are...awesome!

Just look at the awesome 80's prom/bridesmaid dress I transformed into my Toddler's pageant dress :)

and look at my hot momma! haha

 Toddler Queen & #1 Stage Mom

 Edward Scissor Hands

 Everyone (but the bumble bee, slacker) made their costume.

 Snooki Monster

Party Fixer (would pass out mini bottles)

My dream doll house

Are you ready for the little girl inside of you to scream?

Check out this Tiny Victorian Cottage...seriously? How gorgeous is this??

This is a real life doll house that you can only get to by walking across the rocks in the stream..*sigh* I love it.


“Sandra Foster turned a Catskills hunting cabin into the romantic Victorian cottage she had always wanted, using vintage columns, flooring and wavy glass windows, and doing the carpentry herself.”

More Halloween Decor!

I thought I would share this little project I did with some ugly pumpkins.

My boyfriends father had these pumpkins he drew on that he was going to throw out, so of course I took them :)

I wanted them to look chic, so I gave them a glamorous makeover. Voila! 

I swear, you can never go wrong with a little black and white paint...and glitter spray! :)

I'm loving them now and am proudly displaying them.

Here's another quick $2 halloween decor tip.

Black construction paper = invasion of the flying bats!

All I did was google "bat stencil" and printed out the first bat I saw and cut the heck out of them. My hand was a little sore but look how cute it looks. Very worth it for $2 :)
