I cannot believe it, but the Halloween is just around the corner. I still have fresh memories of the beach parties and summer picnics. However, you have to agree the Fall comes with so many great colors, events, and excitement with Halloween being the first one. Are you ready?

I love Halloween decor. Nothing makes it more special than coming home to a room with a center piece like these Candy Corn Candles.

We carved a pumpkin last weekend and I think we did ok for the first project, but check this Crayon Pumpkins

This is what I call a good welcome to any home, but something tells me I might just start munching this Smarties Wreath every time I come or go.

Halloween Decoupage Jars is another great center piece – very Halloweeny.

 And now let’s talk about creative home made customes. A DIY Dinosaur Hoodie, for example, is both cute and very creative.

Where in the house would you put this Vampire Hunt Kit?

Say cu–ute to the Butterfly Costume. I am seriously jealous, because this is the time when we hear on the Midwest start wearing jackets.

    Those are some really cute ideas. I still have so much decorating to do before Halloween. The kids are underwhelmed with what I’ve put out so far.

    Fun craft ideas. I like the candy corn candles the most! The Smartie’s wreath is neat too!

    I adore the crayon pumpkin – so pretty. The others are great too – the Vampire Hunter kit is so very clever. I can’t believe how smart people are.

    Love these Halloween crafts, my kids would jump for joy over the candy corn candles! I think my favorite is the crayon drip pumpkin, though!

    The crayon drip pumpkin has been on my to-do list for a while, though I’ve seen mixed results- some pin-fails, some successes, so I keep trying to read more about it. The Smarties wreath is probably my second most favorite of this round-up. I am always meaning to make seasonal wreaths but never make the time!

    LOL I JUST posted about our crayon pumpkins!! AS they say great minds think alike 🙂 Wasn’t it fun to watch the crayons melt! I think the vampire hunting kit is adorable!

    Ditto – that Smarties wreath wouldn’t stay intact very long in my apartment, lol. Cute ideas.

    Oh I just love Halloween so much! Super cute ideas. I especially love the smarties wreath, one of our favorite candies. Although just like Liz it would be gone pretty quick if I didn’t keep an eye on the kids. Happy Halloween week!

    What adorable ideas! I think the sweet tarts wreath and the dino hoodie is my favorite.

    I just love those candy corn candles! I’m going to do that to a couple of battery powered candles I have. They are so cute!
