Halloween Front Porch 2015

 Happy Monday!

I finished up the front porch for Halloween this morning and here it is!

I have used this decomesh garland for a few years now and I keep adding to it.. This year I added the orange decomesh and the cute little chalkboards .. 

I was asked to try out some chalkboard markers ..

 I usually only use real chalk but I really liked these since I don't have to worry about the words getting rubbed off on the porch.I used little wood pieces from Michael's and painted them with chalkboard paint. I glued strips of black gingham to the back so I could tie them on the garland.I think they look super cute :)

Here is the brand I used and they are available on Amazon.com

So Friday and Saturday night it froze here enough to wreck alot of my plants and ruin about 90% of my zinnias ..Insert crying face here ..too soon ..too early..

 I am not sure I am loving the wreath ..so if I have time there will be a new one on the door before Halloween!

 The Halloween countdown sign I made  2 years ago and I still love it!

Halloween on the Chalkboard

 Good Morning..
Happy Friday! It's time for Halloween on the chalkboard!

 I redid the seasonal chalkboard in the kitchen for Halloween ..I hated to wipe off this Fall Scarecrow!

A trio of fat jack-o-lanterns make up this Halloween topiary.. 

There is a strand of fall berries decorating the top of this thrifted frame.

I still love redoing this chalkboard for the seasons ..It is always fun to see what a little doodling will bring!
