I Stumbled Upon White Trash...

So, FaceBook suggested a friend for me and of course I had to go in and look at her photos and see if I knew her. What I found there has left me speechless!

Yes, this really is a friend of a friend and no, I didn't edit the photo.

The couch is really in the yard of the trailer court, the young lady really doesn't have any teeth and the dog is really taking a shit in the background.....

A Beautiful Day At The Cemetery....

One of my favorite ways to spend a day is strolling through an old cemetery and admiring the ancient stones. There is a certain kind of respect and admiration when looking at objects that have weathered time and continue to stand to represent.

Here are some photos from a recent "grave yarding" day that Zombie Dad and I had.

Tree Confetti

Some people feel it is necessary to rake leaves...and much to the dismay of my neighbors, I am not on of those people. I think autumn should be celebrated with confetti from the trees.

They dance around the yard and the cats love to chase them. They end up in the garden and make wonderful compost. And if nothing else they are just lovely and I like to take pictures of them.

Along Came A Spider...

So I know this isn't something I made or created, but I did take the pictures...that should count right?

It Has Begun...

Yes, it's true...I do start decorating for Halloween in July, but only small bits at a time...it's just that I love the way the house looks when it's all creepy and stuff and I usually have so many craft projects going on that I wanna be sure to get them all up.




This is a super cool floral swag I found at the Goodwill last year. I do believe it cost 2.99. I knew the color was great and that it just needed some spice. I added some artificial orange mums, some great orange ribbon and wired in some plastic skeleton parts and what a great piece it turned out to be!!



First thing you will probably notice is this most excellent witch boot stocking (which is also my Xmas stocking) but take a moment to look above. Yes! Those are my demon children! Each year we gather all the craft supplies and I let them "creepify" their school pictures. The decorations are on the outside of the glass so they are easily removed, if we want to.....



I adore the Chinese lanterns that grow in the garden. They are so stunning as well as represent the fall season. I got this empty grapevine swag at a discount store for like $2.99 and wired the lanterns on. It's best to use the orange as well as green ones to create dimension. I added plain orange ribbon, but you could go with any type that matches your decor. The lanterns are very delicate to work with, but so completely worth it!! The wreath will last for years, stored in a tied garbage bag when not on display.

Until next time...BOO!
