I AM SO OVER SUMMER

Last year around this time, we were not in the mood to decorate. In fact, I did not even put up a Christmas tree. This year we have so much to be thankful for. So very much to be thankful for. So I have done a few things at work and at home.

These are really old plastic pumpkins that I gave a face lift. I mod podged wild tissue paper all over them. Very inexpensive but a totally new look.
This is one of the shelves at my office.

I spent very little money on my decorations. Most of the stuff I already had. Recycle...reuse...re purpose. The candle holder was made with 2 items that I bought from Dollar Tree and glued together.
The fur of were wolf is actually Chappy's fur!!
I made the toadstools out of clay that you bake.

Can you tell that I can never throw away a glass jar? Most of the jars held food items. I down loaded the REALLY cool labels from Love Manor. You have got to check out all the labels!!! The stuff is just awesome! I plan to add to my jars each year. I used ink and aged them after I printed them out. I used mod podge to stick them to the jars but you could use white glue or a glue stick. I also burned some of them to add a more aged look.
These are my petrified butterflies. I used a butterfly punch and old paper. I then attached some of the butterflies to a stick.

My snakes are just $1 plastic snakes and I added food coloring to the water. I really wanted some grow a snakes but could not find them. I thought that would have added a nice bloated touch but no luck.

The crow is from the Dollar Tree. I also bought the spider there. I added the red to make it into a black widow.

More of the baking clay to make earth worms!
A new M for my office in fall colors.
And a recycled candle holder with a bat mod podged onto it. The bat is from Graphics Fairy.

Are you as ready for cold weather as I am??

Would you like to see how I made the pumpkins?
