    Something Creepy This Way Comes

    cardboard whispering

    Sometimes when a craft works out really well, you just gotta do it again and again. In fact, I think I’m going to make this a tradition for us.

    oooooooooooo..... ghostie

    painting mess-making

    It’s just fun and CHEAP! All you need are some cardboard boxes (which I have plenty thanks to a super fun backyard Angry Birds game—hope you didn’t want that guitar box back Carrien), paint, maybe a box-cutter and some box-cutting skillz.

    drying

    Cut them out, paint them, let them dry and you are set for Halloween.

    Put them in your window and let the creepiness take over.

    I keep thinking this cat is real out of the corner of my eye

    This one really gets me. I keep thinking it’s a real cat out of the corner of my eye. That’s Bug’s handiwork. I guess she knows how to draw cats pretty well.

    The cool thing is: as it gets darker and darker they just get cooler and cooler.

    glowy

    they just get creepier and creepier

    And creepier and creepier…wooooooOOOOOOoooooooooh……

    the dress

    So, yes, Bug is going to be a bride for Halloween this year. We have no idea what we are doing, if trick-or-treating is in or out due to our sketchy neighborhood or if we will be hosting a little mini harvest party here at our house (email me if you’re close and would like to come) but we do know what Bug will be wearing.

    Because that is all that matters, OF COURSE!
