My Favorite Time of Year

October is my favorite time of year!!  The temperatures get cooler, the fall colors are coming out and Halloween is just around the corner.  I love Halloween, I have always loved it.  I don't know why but it is just the most fun out of all the other holidays, at least it is to me.  So in honor of All Hallows Eve here are some fun project that I've found and am dying to try.  Dying, get it....(bad joke)
 Anyway, over at Oopsy-daisy they have this fun Halloween Matching Game.  I'm always trying to find things to keep my kids busy and entertained and this is a fun way to get them into the Halloween spirit.  I love the artwork that she found and am going to explore the website she got it from further for other holiday artwork.
 Next is the AWESOME Skull Candlesticks over at Sawdust and Paper Scraps.  This lady is SO talented and has some of the best ideas around.  I am so envious of all of her tools too.  Her website is definitely worth bookmarking and revisiting often.  Just look at how cool these candle sticks turned out.  It makes me want to run to my nearest thrift store right now. 
 Also on Sawdust and Paper Scraps she has her version of Halloween Subway Art.  I have a link in a past post for the Subway Art for Halloween from a different blog, but I really like this one.  It is not as bright (I don't do bright that well) and I love the little spiders she added.  Very cute!
Finally, over at Tatertots and Jello they have Creepy Specimen Art.  I have seen the Butterfly Art that is like it but I love the Halloween spin that she took.  I also like her instructions, very detailed and easy to follow.  I have always wondered where to find the right kind of frame for such projects and now I know.  Go check them out.  Tatertots and Jello is also a very cool blog worth bookmarking. 
After looking at all the fun stuff out there I am getting SO excited for Halloween to come.  I think I will get started decorating today as well as starting to gather stuff for these fun projects.  Happy Haunting!!
