October Decorations

Now that October is over, I guess I'll get around to posting a little. I remember years (when I had a lot more energy) our house looking pretty awesome the month of October. I would web much of the interior, make all the frames on the walls crooked, put out all the wonderful, fun decorations accumulated through the years even made "halloween candy" lights one year. I really like those lights. They are lots of fun.

This year I decided I would do only what I had energy for, so it was pretty lame, but hey, some is better than none, right?

This is what you saw coming up the walk to the front door:




I made the tall witch years ago and I really have enjoyed her for many a Halloween.



I managed to put the candy lights on the stairs and place a few jack-o-lanterns around the house. Sadly, that is as far as I got. I really missed the webs. One of my favorite things to do after the webs were all strung was to walk under them and toss black spiders (plastic of course) up into them. That was so much fun. Maybe next year.

I have so many fun memories of costumes Nana made for me, and my brothers and sisters. Later she made some for her grandkids. She always did such a good job and enjoyed doing it. I remembeer a Spanish Dancer dress, a Jeanie, a Dutch Boy and Girl, a Pirate, a Gypsy, several Witches, a Princess or two, Bo Peep, a couple of Clowns, and many others.

Maybe that's why I love the season of Halloween so much. Great memories.
