\n\"img_7553-edited-and-framed\"It’s almost that time of year again, and I’ve been pulling out our containers of decorations to get into the spirit\u2026 or should I say “Spirits<\/span><\/em><\/strong>” of this macabre celebration.\u00a0 The season really begins at our house when the children and I start unpacking the decorations.\u00a0 Once again, we’re getting ready to transform our home into a wickedly ghoulish, gory and gruesome Haunted House<\/em><\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 With more than skeletons in the closet, we\u2019re hauling out the witches, zombies, crows, rats, black cats and tombstones for a \u201cNo Holds Barred Spookfest<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u201d that will send our party guests and trick-or-treaters over the edge with fear and hysteria.\u00a0 I simply love it!<\/p>\n

Carve-free Pumpkins<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

Carve-free pumpkins seem to be gaining momentum over the past couple of years, so I thought I’d see what all the excitement is about. Though I love the aroma of these fragrant orange melons and baking their seeds whilst carving, I have to admit this was a lot of fun, too!\u00a0 Turned out that this was a lot less mess, and the possibilities were endless.\u00a0 These are pictures of several I did over the course of a couple of hours.\u00a0 I found most of the paraphernalia in our Halloween boxes: googly eyes, tiaras, fake eyelashes, mice, snakes, stencils, witch hats, masks and left over crystal spider pins from three years ago … the end result is amusing and unique.
