Projects!

I have been working on a lot of projects lately and I have been able to get most of them done this weekend! WooHoo! This year I have really been looking forward to Halloween! We are having fall weather and I'm loving it and I can't wait for Halloween! Here are some of the things I have done! I saw some foam spiders at JoAnn's for $1/each....they were a little too expensive for what I wanted to do with them, so I just bought some black foam and cut out my own spiders! I ended up with getting 4 for a dollar! And here is my lovely display of spiders. (this is what you see when you come up the stairs to out duplex. The door on the right leads you into the kitchen, the door on the left leads you to the living room. Make any sense?)
I also made this Halloween sign. I just need some ribbon to hang it with. This will actually go where the "Boo" sign is now once finished! I just modge podged this sign!
My last project is our "Wray" sign! I love how it turned out, but it took a lot of time and a lot of help from Josh. I spent MONTHS looking for the perfect frame, but never found one. So, Josh and I made this one! We went to Lowe's got a strip of molding (???) and a peice of glass. Josh then cut the wood and fit it all together. It took quite some time but definitely worth it!
Well, I don't really have anything else to say! I just didn't want to end up with only ONE post in September! Josh and I have been really busy lately with Softball, "The Biggest Loser," lots of church meeting and we were able to go to the temple this weekend! I'm so glad we went too! It was so worth it! I can't wait to go back! Too bad we don't have one closer :(

  5. So very cute! Look at you little Mrs. Crafty! Josh did a great job on that frame. You've inspired me to get out my Halloween decorations. Oh, and I'm loving Biggest Loer, so glad that all my favorite shows are back on (that sounds a little pathetic, but I really am!)
