Black & White Halloween

Just in case you where wondering what I was doing with all my Halloween craftyness......  

It all started with my Halloween House. I wanted new Halloween decorations and I wanted BLACK & WHITE.  So that's when I made the house.....and then I made the paper wreath. And now this is what my mantle looks like............

 try not to look at the actual mantle, someday soon its going to be white.

 I had a pumpkin from the dollar store that I painted white, the candle stick, I have had forever.  I glued some moss on top added the pumpkin and some ribbon.

 these are bowls that I have had forever that I turned upside down and stacked them on top of each.

 the crow & the skull are from the dollar store, the "boo block", I have also had forever, I just took off the orange ribbon. 

please feel free to stop by my house and come inside and see my mantle, because I promise you it looks way better than these pictures.  hehehehe!!

P.S.  I have something big that has just arrived in my garage tonight from my mother-in-laws basement.  I can't wait to get started on it, but I'm very nervous to even tackle the project.   But I have been dying to do it!!  Hopefully my mom will come over and help and tell me "just do it, Amber"
