Halloween & Fall Decor


I Love to Decorate for the Holidays! Since J. & I got our house I have to or attempt to decorate for every season!!!
This years Hot Decor for Fall was Monogrammed or Blinged out Pumpkins!! Here is our "W".
                         I also made a Candy Corn Wreath. The Bee's loved our house for a few days!!!!
With the extra candy corn I filled our monogrammed vase on the mantle.

We also had The 3rd Annual Halloween Party!!! We LOVE to throw parties and this is one of my favorites! If I haven't told you yet I am a fanatic over cupcakes! I searched the Internet for a cupcake costume. Watched it for months be out of stock on websites and finally in the end decided to make my own. I looked at ideas on the web and fell in love with this one! I also made a hair clip.
It was pretty easy to make- I hijacked J's square laundry and cut out the bottom for my legs.
For the cupcake wrapper I used cardboard folded like a fan and spray painted with pink spray paint. To secure to the basket I used floral wire and secured on the inside through the holes of the basket. For the icing I used quilting batting. I secured the batting to the basket with hot glue and just layered on the top. To make the icing fluffy I secured air packs( the kind you get in fragile shipping boxes) with safety pins and glued on pom poms to look like sprinkles. The suspenders to hold up the basket is just craft ribbon with wired secured t the basket!
I also attempted my first cake pops! I love reading Bakerella's blog! Not the most attractive but Very Yummy!!!

Here are a few pictures from the Halloween party
