it's fall....finally!

so I finally FINALLY set out my fall stuff...the leaves are turning yellow and falling....the days are still warm (thank goodness for that) but the nights are getting cold...so I finally am declaring it fall...which means halloween....and I love halloween.
and I love halloween decorations..the gross and eeww and all that jazz...so first up is an eyeball wreath!


i picked these up last year when halloween was over...so about 50 cents (from walmart...I have seen them at target too...)
they are gooey sticky eyeballs.


and I bought a wreath



(I just googled twig wreath)

(I actually found mine at the thrift store...so I paid 1.50 for it. yes mam...bargain shopper!

took those gooey oeey eyes and poked them through the twigs.



they just pop right through...
then I hang it on my door.

now, you could add a bow. but I just wanted a creepy old eyeball wreath.

I had to try it out on all my doors


the glass wasn't so great...

now, some of the eyeballs get dirty looking....which I like...kinda adds to the whole effect....
and each year I add some more eyeballs....cause I always manage to lose some during the season....
(okay, I know it's my kids....I always have to say, "quit picking the eyeballs off the wreath!") and yes, I realize I use a lot of.........




a picture of it in action!

  8. Your name has come up many a time on several blogs I peruse. When I saw your link on Sassy Sites, I thought "Durn it, I need to add this chick!"

    The eyeball wreath almost talked me outta it though. Seriously, I got shivers. I'm biting the bullet though, and following.
