Macarons, Makeup and Mommy Problems: This is Halloween.. getting my creep on!

Being that it was my first Halloween to decorate.. I am gonna share those decorations with you :)

These pennants I made with some felt and twine, the first one hung in my bathroom off of the curtain rod. The pumpkin one was purchased.

I was pretty excited to get things going for the Halloween party. I made little costume contest awards, I call them SKELLYS haha. I just used some of the skeleton garland that I got at our Base Exchange for $3 and some metallic gold spray paint. The garland came with 6 skeletons so I had just the right amount. I went to the hardware store and got mini tera cotta pots. Just hot glued the skeletons feet to the bottom of the pot and sprayed away! Didnt they come out super awesome! I bought enough for next year also!

Here is just a peek at the decorations I had scattered around the house:

Starting at the front door. This is a simple wreath with autumnal colored leaves on it. It's really a blank canvas and can be left out for the entire Fall season. I think it was a late night WalMart find a long long time ago. I jazzed it up with some fake spiderwebs and a black glitter sign that says Happy Halloween on it, although its hard to see against the dark wood door.

Below is the main hallway. Didn't do too much as I really didn't have a lot and am slowly acquiring spooky pieces as time goes by.

I love the "Trick or Treat" sign with the bats :)

The bunting you see on the wall above the console table is black spiders and purple cats-- what? you've never seen a purple cat before? lol

This hallway leads into my living room.

Gotta love my bats and skulls bunting!! I have one hanging on the dining room doors too!!

See the candy corn candles! I love them on the sconces. Here I just used a frame that was a nasty gold, spray painted it a matte black, leaned it up against the wall next to an old rusty lantern, a fake tombstone, some dripping blood candles, fake pumpkins and a smattering of fake spiderwebs. I think it turned out pretty cool!

Now to decorate the dining room. At this time my buffet had not arrived so I had to make due with a folding table.. i apologize.

At the party, I served Dexter's Bloody Sangria, Broken Glass Cupcakes, there was some chips and a "killer" taco dip (made my Ashley), Blood Orange juice and my awesome friend Haley brought cinnamon roll cookies and mulled hot cider.
