I was able to create so many items this Halloween. There was alot that I didn't even know where to put. Maybe I should sell a few! I love to be creative and Chalk Couture really helps out! It's easy to use and can be used on virtually everything! That's the best part!
I wan't sure if it was too crowded, but sometimes I would rather have too much that it be bare! The more the merrier I always say! With different heights and sizes of all the decor, I was able to fill the Mantel. I love to layer the banners too! Did you know that those banner are from Target's Dollar Section- just different years! I keep everything and I'm glad I do! I think they work well together!
There is a very special piece on my mantel that holds lots of memories. Before my mother-in-law passed away 10 years ago, she collected Halloween decorations. He we able to get some of her decorations and when decorating with her stuff, we talk about her and her love for Halloween. But this year, we lost Auntie Vicki suddenly. With our Auntie Katie was done for a visit, I was showing her all the items from her sister and my mother-in-law, Carol, and how we decorated with them. When we came across to the Jim Shore Scarecrow, she told us that Auntie Vicki and given Carol the Scarecrow. Now that Scarecrow means even more to use knowing it was gifted to Carol. We miss and love them both, and can talk about then while decorating!
The best part is decorating with the family and taking about all the previous Halloweens. These are the days that I hope my kids talk about with their kids.
