Decorating for Halloween

Halloween is less than two weeks away. Whether you get into the day or not, we've found some interesting ideas on how to decorate the outside of your house! Pinterest.com is a new website that is somewhat of a virtual pin board for its users to "pin" pictures onto and share with others. It is a great source of creative ideas, if you're looking for them.

Very fun idea! If you do this with fake pumpkins, you can use it each year!

All of those now empty flower pots sitting in the garage? Spice them up with some witch legs!

Looks like this pumpkin didn't get fed. Grab some old clothes and make this scene!

Do you have windows you could do this in? Scary.

Not so scary, this pumpkin is painted up with a pretty face. Again, use those empty flower pots.

They're escaping! Very fun idea.

Probably the easiest project. Save some empty water or milk jugs and color fun faces on them. Cut out the bottom of the jugs and place over a string of holiday lights. LED will be safest for heat, or you could put a battery operated candle under each one.

Happy (early) Halloween!

Welcome to October

The Fall Festival has come and gone. We had a great time getting together with the community for a new twist on a classic event. This was the first time that we brought in a showcase of local artists and crafters, this addition was a huge success! Kids had fun decorating gourds, getting their faces painted by the amazingly talented folks at Rainbow Party Arts, throwing strikes at pumpkin bowling and enjoying the bonfire. A sample of the best pictures of the day are below...







We're currently busy planning the events for the rest of the year...Deck the Halls, Ladies Night, Spruce Tip Workshops and the Holiday Showcase! Stay tuned for more details
