Do you ever start to do something....

then get totally side tracked?
Yesterday....I went into the bonus room to clean up a giant mess. While I was putting a few things away...I found the box of Halloween decorations that I had been meaning to find.
I left my even bigger mess...you know the mess that gets way worse before it gets better...to do a little decorating.

I have never in my life decorated my mantel for Halloween...not ever. Of course, I have never been blogging this time of year either...until this year.  You all know what that means, right? I have seen so many cute and scary ideas. I was inspired to turn my mantel into the spooky, but not too spooky scene you see here!

 

I used only the items I already had.
The crafting looked like this!

 I found a couple of Halloween photos from previous years to temporarily add to this frame.

 This is our friendly spider that giggles when you squeeze his belly. We've had him for years!

I had spray painted these rocks to add to the pumpkin decorations on the porch...

but I thought I'd use them here instead!

It's not the best in Blog Land by any means...but my family loves it!
I had a lot of fun and I'm glad it was done in time for the kids to find it when they got home.

But.....oh no....that big mess is still there waiting for me.
I hope I do not get side tracked again!

Have a great weekend!
