In years past, my Halloween decorating started and ended right here …

For the tale of my DIY burlap wreath, click here.  Oh, and there may have been some swearing involved … 😉

 

But back to the story at hand.  A thrilling tale.  Okay, not so thrilling …

 

and not much of a tale.

 

You see, some blogger friends of mine were all like, hey, let’s show off our Halloween decorations.

 

And I was all like, sure, sign me up …

 

and up I was signed.

 

After which I went, gulp.

 

Followed by a BIG GULP!

 

Clearly I couldn’t just show off my front porch bats flying across the door decor.

 

So the outdoor décor made it’s way indoors to be a part of my Halloween home decor …

Literally.

 

It’s a bat invasion.  They’re in the living room …

scaring my wood block pumpkins.

And my dryer vent pumpkins.

Those darn bats even turned my fake silk flowers black …

Wait, that’s a good thing.  I am on a mission to eradicate fake foliage from my home …

 

Maybe those pesky bats are a good thing …
