Halloween Mantel 2011


I'm still playing catch up around here and BBC is still encouraging me to get the Halloween decorations up. Here's the mantel just in time for the weekend. I do it all for him (OK so I do it for me, too).

BBC has actually been quite helpful in providing inspiring ideas this year. I never dreamed I would ever have a skeleton on my mantel or even in my home for that matter. He begged me to buy him this skeleton a couple of weeks ago. I agreed but only if he kept it in his room. That all went out the door when I was going upstairs one night and found... 

THIS!! That child's sense of humor cracks me up.


I couldn't let his genius go unnoticed so now the skeleton and pose are the center of attention in the family room. Love it!

This jack on a pedestal and few other goodies balance out the other side. Now I'm sad I didn't get this up earlier. BUT I am happy that my creative spells are continuing. Praise the Lord!

How about you - what creative spells have you been up to lately?

Your skeleton looks quite cute on your mantle. I like your pumpkin on the cake plate, too.

I love the mantle. I have been very lazy with my Halloween decorating. After cutting out bats and ghosts to hang around the house I've lost my inspiration.

I think I'll save my enthusiasm for decorating for Christmas since we're so close now.

Very cute! Thanks for sharing.
