me and martha

ok, so we both are gonna decorate for Halloween but somehow I think her house is gonna look better LOL!

I love to decorate for any holiday by doing crafts with the girls all the way up until said Holiday. It gives us a theme and then at the end I can throw it all away! This year I am trying to upcycle as much as possible so the milk jug skeletons (see down a few posts) are a start.

Luckily, Martha has a website and we are free to steal her ideas! (hey, we're not selling them, we're doing kids crafts, so back off LOL)

Here are Martha's pumpkin jars:

Here are ours:

We used a variety of jars and paints (one is glow in the dark) and i punched out a few shapes for the girls to choose from for the faces.

I think ours are funnier!

In keeping with the sunny feel:

I used orange smooch for the first time and i'm not sure if i like it. I wish liquid pearls came in orange - stickles are too glittery for my taste.
