I am a self proclaimed moss addict. Okay maybe not an addict but I love love moss. It’s earthy yet can be so modern. I love moss year round really but Spring is really the best time for great moss projects. This time of year you are bound to see some of this earthy green mossyness floating around Pinterest and blogland.

Halloween Revisited {2011}

Courtney Carmean — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:00:00 +0000

It’s hard to believe that today is the last day in August! My family and I had an incredible and wonderful summer! I just can’t believe it’s over. With September starting tomorrow it is time to start thinking about Halloween. Can you believe it?

I decided to do a round up of my Halloween projects from last year. So let’s get to Halloween Revisited {2011}…..

One year ago today I shared my Googly Eye Halloween Frame.

Last year I was definitely feeling the glitter and that all started with these Glitter 2×4 Pumpkins.

A couple years ago I made some of these industrial pumpkins, but last year I tried making some in white and added a tutorial of these Dryer Vent Pumpkin Tutorial.

I still think that this Framed Pumpkin is so darn cute!

So at some point I decided to combine my glitter love and dryer vent pumpkins and came up with my Glitter Dryer Vent Pumpkins!

I think this sheet music Decoupaged Pumpkin has to be one of my faves from last year!

Maybe decoupaging isn’t your bag, but you love the literary look! These Bookin Book Pumpkins may be more your speed!

My Glitter Pumpkin Topiary is definitely my shinning star from last years Halloween projects.

I these Decorated Boo Letters were a lot of fun to make and embellish.

I love changing out my mantel and this Spooktacular Mantel was no exception!

This Chunky Pumpkin was part of my October Make & Take last year.

Of course what is Halloween without candy? I decided to include this Gumball Machine Candy Holder in my October Make and Take as well.

Wow after going through all of that I realize just how busy I was last year around this time! Kinda like I am again this year! But man do I love crafting for the holidays!!!
