SPOOK UP!!!

Seeing Things----Conjure up the illusion of haunted spirits with this easy project. Sand a corner of an old mirror down until it is clear, feathering it at the edge. Copy a photo of a frightened face onto translucent paper and again on white paper. Tape the translucent print to the back of the mirror, then tape the white one behind it, slightly off-center for a ghostly image.

Go green this Halloween! Misuse and just throwing things that can still be repurposed causes the mounting piles of trash. I found this really fun and easy to make decorative pieces in Better Homes and Gardens and Country Living. I think they are cute, you dont need to go out and buy some of these expensive pieces that you would only use for a couple days for halloween. When you look around your house and get your creative mind going I'm sure you will find things that gives you same ideas as this pictures. Empty cans of folgers coffee wrapped in orange paper with crazy shapes cut off its surface, place candle or tea lights in it, line them on your porch and you have jack o' lantern! Recycling is not boring. It is still the best way to decorate our homes. Adding personal touch to it makes it special & extraordinary. Be imaginative!
