Starting to get my Boo on:@)

My thoughts are beginning to turn to Halloween, I love seeing the fun new items at stores. Walmart has cute Halloween cookies cutters for $2 that have a plunger for adding detail. I like to use these for decorating pie crust. There was a witches hat too, but it broke while I was trying to remove it from the packaging. Make sure you cut the plastic, don't try to pull the cutters out. **10/6/15 update: Unfortunately these cutters are extremely cheap and either break and/or don't have a strong enough spring to make a good imprint. When Walmart first sold the Christmas set 2 years ago they were great, very similar to Williams-Sonoma-not any more. 

Since I'm keeping the ceramic tree out in the craft room year round, I want to give it little seasonal touches... 
A simple garland and vintage inspired owl topper are all it took to add some Halloween spirit.  

And I'd like to thank everyone for your suggestions about how to camouflage the big hole in the back of my jack-o-lantern... I found this big fat rat at the Dollar Store, stuck him in the hole and ~for now~ he amuses me (especially the back where his butt and tail stick out:@) They did also have the deco mesh with a little gold through it, so I have options...

How about you, are you beginning to think orange and black?
Have a happy day:@)
