Happy Halloween Month!

Can you believe it's October already??? So hard to believe!! With wedding on the brain and our crazy hectic schedule the last month I almost forgot my October tradition. I am a huge fan of scary movies and I heart Halloween, so what better way to kick off the holiday than watching many of the best movies for an entire month!

Example: Hocus Pocus. Need I say more? I watch it every year!


Not to mention the other classics such as: Halloween, Friday the 13th (ch ch ch ), Psycho and Nightmare on Elm Street. There are just too many great movies to try and watch in one weekend before Halloween so I've taken to enjoying them for all of October. It's become my Halloween Month!

I also enjoy reading more of the mystery and thriller books throughout the month of October. I realize I can read them anytime but there's something fun about saving some of them for the beginning of fall, snuggling up on the couch and enjoying the early dark nights. After a full day of work it lets me get to a fun, dramatic place. Sometimes its the childish, magical part of Halloween that gets me excited. While other times it is the mysterious persona that goes along with that haunted day.

It also leads me to realize I have NOT even started to set up my fall stuff inside the house.  (Well...besides the leaves/tin pot I have as a centerpiece on the dining room table. That's been the extent of it. Whoop-de-doo...) So I'm now on a mission to get some new pieces to add to my decor'. I want to start having a more grown up and crafty looking holiday display.

My first big purchase was my little witch! She's perfect for keeping the door open and she was a whopping $2.00 at Goodwill. All I had to do was hot glue her spooky little hat and hair back on.  I love finding steals at that store! (And I'm pretty sure she's happy to be fixed!)

Isn't she adorable?

 I hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday! Tomorrow is hump day already! Yee Haw! ;)

Oh! I almost forgot to share my DIY wreath. Here it is folks! Let me know if you like it!
