~a little creepy halloween~

Happy Tuesday!!

Well it's 10:38 Tuesday morning

and so far we've had partly cloudy,

cloudy, rainy, partly sunny

and sunny.....weather!!

and can you guess which "weather pattern"

I "enjoyed" on my................drumroll please...............

***40 minute*** run??

yup!  you guessed it....the rainy portion

of our wonderful fall weather pattern......

hahaha...but of course! :)

but shockingly.... I loved it!!  I had on my

water resistant running jacket

and "moisture wicking" shirt

and stayed quite dry.....

if only I had not been so optimistic

as to assume it would not rain.....ahem....

{duh....}

and worn my cap......then I wouldn't have

showed up at our door looking like a 

wet rat ....oh well, only saw one neighbor....

what a sight! hee hee.....

{had to share my running success with you!

seriously! 40 minutes now with no stopping

or  walking!!}

well I fussed and fussed with this entry table

yesterday......it was not happening....for me!

holy cow ~ I guess Halloween is not my holiday!

but I finally came up with something I thought

I could share.....

it might be that the whole spider creepy crawly

thing just creeps me out!!

I am seriously so arachnophobic....

{according to Dictionary.com: the abnormal fear of spiders....abnormal? I think not!!}

my darling girls kill them for me.....

brave little things ~ grab them with a napkin

while I run & hide in the corner....hee hee hee

{no, I'm not kidding!!!}

I know I know....they keep the eco-system

in balance...yadda yadda yadda

well, I need them dead to keep me in balance.....;)

yup.....dead.....

so ~ found some bat stencils while at Joann's

50% off so I grabbed them

along with some very sticky webbing....

that stuff is terrible!!

then drug it all over the table

threw in a couple fake spiders....

and fretted over real ones moving in to the newly

acquired webs....

filled a jar full of bones I picked up at

Dollar Store....

and added a creepy skull label found

at the The Graphics Fairy

she has so many fun vintage graphics!

definitely check it out...it's all free!!

I saved some seed pods from some

coneflowers, and columbine in the garden...

and added some dead queen anne's lace

to the mix for my "dead" bouquet....

and that's it!!

kinda a quicky {you would think}

halloween display.....

If you'll recall my post

on Zelda and Darnell???

well the rats to scurry about.....

are also finished!!

complete with their eery eyes.....

but too wet to take pictures yesterday...

I'm hoping to get a shot of them

today during some sunshine.....

{the eternal optimist....}

Thanks so much for coming by!!

Have a wonderful day!!
