Halloween Costumes 2011

We had a blast with our theme.  

We definitely have a lot of train tracks around where we live which would have been fun for a picture but they are all very much in use.  

 My mother-in-law made Matt's awesome vest, chaps and belt buckle.  The red cowboy boots I found at an antique store in town.

Spooky Tree

I saw this picture and decided I wanted to make some kind of tree.  I used a flower pot that wasn't in use, collected branches from the back yard and filled the pot with sand to hold the branches in place.  I added a couple crows (I found some after I finished my wreath at Michaels), spider webs, and raffia and tulle to cover the pot.  My husband added the corn and pumpkin and I think it's a nice touch.  I need to play with the spider webs a bit.  They got a beating over the last few days with the heavy winds we have had.  

Halloween Wreath

I wanted a festive wreath specifically for Halloween.  After googling Halloween wreaths I found this one.  I love the neutrals and blacks in her wreath.  I love the crow too but I couldn't find one so a creepy spider took its place.  Here is mine.
