decorating for halloween
October is nearly gone! Can you believe it? Just a couple more weeks until Halloween, for those who celebrate it.
**The following article was written by guest contributor, Amy Hutchinson.**
I love Halloween more now as an adult than I ever did as a kid. There are spiderwebs draped all through my house, and a spooky village set up near my front door. I can’t wait to play my CD of eery sounds, and I have a party planned for Halloween weekend. I picked up a few basic supplies from my local craft store in order to stretch my budget with my holiday decorations.
For starters, I made these garlands to hang on the bookcases on either side of my fireplace: Following the idea here.
I just printed out lots of fun Halloween fonts onto digital Halloween papers from the Halloween kit here, mixing and matching.
Any construction or scrapbook papers could be used. I used a glue pen to outline the letters, then sprinkled them with black glitter. I printed, then mounted a black damask paper behind each letter and cut it out with a scalloped scissor, making a black scalloped border around each letter. Then I simply stapled each letter to a 6′ length of black polka dot ribbon, and hung them above my bookcases, embellishing with more black ribbon, some berry garland, and a silver beaded garland. Easy, and fun for the kids!
I was having so much fun that I decided to make these spooky skeleton canvases:
I bought some plain 6″x8″ canvases (very cheap!) at my local craft store. I cut 3 different 6″x8″ pieces from a skeleton paper (also in the Halloween kit. Again, any Halloween paper could be used.) Then I coated each canvas with a layer of Modge Podge, stuck on the paper, and gave it one more coat on the top.
Took 5 minutes to do all 3! I placed them on a shelf with some “boo” mini buckets that I picked up from Target for $1.00 each.
I hope this inspires you to enjoy Halloween as much as any kid!

ipjiohihui I just hit upgrade and Office 2010 everything went extremely well. Don’t ask Microsoft Office 2010 me why Microsoft only makes this 32 bit Outlook 2010 version of Home and Student but who knows all I know is it works Microsoft outlook 2010 fine even on Windows 7 64 bit. This 2010 Microsoft outlook version seems to have everything the 2007 Office 2010 professional version did but has added quite a few new things. download Office 2010 If you are upgrading from some version of Windows 7 Microsoft Office that is older than 2007 you will Office 2010 download be shocked at first but you can hopefully Office professional 2010 navigate through everything pretty easily. If you are upgrading from 2007 you will only be ever so slightly shocked or maybe not shocked at all.
