Halloween teacher goodies

So, both of our elementary teachers said that she wanted to have some of my Halloween decorations....okay, I thought...so, I'll start with one of my favorite ones!

I didn't take pictures of the banner as I was making it, but it basically came down to super cute scrapbook paper from here...I used just the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge on my cricut on shadow and cut out the "Boo"...Then I cut my triangles out in different sizes and pinking shear cut the bottom black layer....I took 3 silver pipe cleaners and twisted them together and added some decoration to cover the twisting bits....I think they turned out pretty cute! Hope the teachers enjoy!

feelin' like Halloween....

It's my favorite...it's true....I could have my Halloween decorations up all year long....I laugh thinking that I should have been born in another era - with bats, ravens, candles...maybe Victorian England...I love this stuff.....

So, as the weather has definitely turned "Fall like" here in So Cal, I decided it was high time I put up my decor.... below is just a sampling of the fun... enjoy!
My mantle with ravens, eyeballs in a jar, a skull under a cloche, and dead twig garland....
What halloween decor is not complete without bones, a tree, and some ghoulish items in jars?
The ever glowing skull....
The kids' favorite decoration...a haunted house that makes sounds and lights up.....
Jars full of pumpkins and ravens.....ohhhh....

Happy Halloween!
