I am mixing this year both Fall and just a tad of Halloween for now. My older boy Alex has a big Halloween party and we I really have fun decorating for the big event. We do not have haunted houses, or lawn witches….but I do get creative with skeleton bones and games. Any fun games I would love to hear your suggestions.
I made a fun wreath I thought I would share with you.
Ok quick tutorial on the wreath. I first spray painted it black. Remember that orange silk yarn? Well I wrapped some around the bigger vine part of the wreath. Sprayed some pine cones black….embellished with two black feathers and a crow! That was it.
This week I wanted to participate with Miss Jenny’s rainbow Alphabet party. But wait, I do not have the color INDIGO anywhere in my home, and I really want to incorporate it in this post. Although, very much a brown nose, I do not have time to come up with two posts for the day. We all know Indigo is a cross between blue and violet see the color wheel below.
SO BAM!!~ I looked around and what did I see?
I made a little styrofoam wreath for my younger boy the other day. He is a candy freak and I told him he can have a piece a day after his homework. He loves picking away at this thing.
I'm still in summer mode here Debbie but I'm loving looking at all of your fall/hween decor!! Fun!!
easy simple but yet catches the eye nice job Debbie…..i hope i will get in the mood next week.
Love the tootsie pop "wreath"! … and your Halloween decorations are cute!
Debbie admit it you are a kiss up to Miss Jenny! I do not have anything Indigo either! This week will be hard! LOL!! Your wreaths are so cute the candy one is a great incentive! Love the Halloween one also, I'm still in summer mode I must admit!
your Halloween wreath looks great, I'm loving the pine cones and the crow. I like the banner too, cute idea that's fast and easy. By the way, love your spooky picture of your fireplace.
ok now you tease me with that bird votive again what clever ideas you have
i love the cany wreath its so cute and a great idea for getting homework done.
I bet Jack races through that homework to get the treat:)
when are you going to give me that energy potion you are taking….I live vicariously through your seasonal decorating
I looove Halloween, thanks for the inspiration. I need to get some subtle dashes of Halloween up and around the pad.
Looks great but I'm not ready for summer to be gone!!!! Heat and all, I love it!
I wasn't even sure what color was indigo!
Thanks for your wonderful support over at my blog!
Your wreath is fabulous and I love the little candy wreath, too. Great ideas! Can you believe it is September 1?! I'd say it's time to start thinking of Halloween!! ;-D

That wreath is a work of art!! Wow. I love the crow touch! and the orange. Very cool!
And hey! I want a candy wreath, too!
oooh fun, I am hoping to decorate this weekend, I have too many other things to do the next couple days (why then am I on this computer?) shhhh
anyway….love your things, looks like a cool party…there are so many. I just started one on Wednesdays, STorytellers…stop by and tell a story sometime!
I love your take on Halloween! What a fun way to have a little bit of "spooky" without it going over into downright "scary"! And, I am definitely going to be stealing your candy wreath idea for my little guy who will start having homework this year!
Thanks,
Vanessa

What cute and easy decorations, Debbie! You are soooo Creative & Clever!!
I love the idea of giving your son a choice and treat after his homework. What another great idea! ~ Coreen

Great photos! I bet you really do have a Halloween blast at your house. You have to go to the dollar tree. I was there Monday and saw what was packaged as brains! It was sooo gross! It was packaged like meat on styrofoam with cellophane around it. Picture a pound of hamburger from the grocery store, except it looks like a brain! Disgusting! However, those kids would love it, and it's only a buck! Love your wreath too!
That candy wreath is such a cute idea and you always do such great Halloween decor. Look forward to more. Gotta go pack.
you make decorating seem so effortless … love the tiny touch of indigo!
I think you need to put all of your craft projects in a book (to sell of course)! You amaze me 🙂
Debbie, you are way ahead of the game! I'm still just dreaming of the fall season! ~ Sarah
I love the wreath and the banner is so cute!
The candy wreath is so cute. I'm sure your son is really enjoying that. Great ideas!
You're so clever and creative! The candy wreathe is fantastically yummy!
I will be joining the Halloween/Fall fun as soon as Miss Pumpkin Head arrives at my house. I won her over at Tam's place!Woot Woot! I love the Fall! Great post Debbie! Anne
Great post. I can't believe fall and Halloween are popping up all over. Very creative way to include the indigo!

I've always liked the cute smiling pumpkins!
You are so very creative! I love that wreath.
Debbie, you are incredibly creative.
Love this little wreath…love your fall decor (although it's not helping me feel cooler on this 111 degree day…grrrr!)
And love how creatively and cleverly you managed to find some indigo.
You are really neat Miss Debbie.
I'm so glad you link to Rainbow Summer School.

It must be pretty hot where you are since you are so rapidly leaping forward into fall! Your decorating skills are too cute, though, and I'm sure you son loves having such a creative mom.
