Halloween Decorations
Saturday, February 14, 2009
I find that if I start early in the year, I have much more time to decide what I want to add to the Halloween decorations for this year. Both inside and out, we love to decorate about October 1st and really have it all going by the middle of the month. Starting early gives you time to plan and if you need to make any of the things you want yourself, you have plenty of time to craft them. I love craft projects so I start working on Halloween and Christmas ideas early!
I noticed that our local Wal-mart seems to be getting rid of many of their craft items so I've been picking things up at low prices. Always look for sales at stores like Michael's and other craft stores and hit the after Halloween sales to stock up on things that you'll need for the coming year. I'm so sick of hearing about the sad state of our economy, I kind of feel like the media created it themselves by trying to scare the public, but a sale is a sale and if I can save on things that I need for crafting, I will. I've always done it, no need to stop now!
I'm not sure on what I'm planning for this year, I like to take a look at Halloween Online's craft section and decorating section for inspiration when I'm lost for ideas. I also like The Yard Haunter, a site completely dedicated to haunting your front yard for Halloween.
We really want to make this Halloween a special one since it will be our 25th wedding anniversary, one that we won't soon forget! More on our ideas as they take form!
