 They colored on their pumpkins with markers so they were saying "Ta Da!"

Creating our Art Wall

 Finger paint from Hobby Lobby $5, white printer paper (already had), 2 table cloths from dollar tree $2, tape them down and let the fun begin!!

 Loved seeing their different personalities in their art, Judah didn't like for his colors to touch and Deacon liked  mixing his colors and smearing them together :)
 Fun, fun, practically took a bath in paint!



 My bearded man, haha

 Hang to dry

 Finished product, Love it!

Wreaths and decorating

 My $3 wreath :), I already had the white feather wreath from pier one from years back, bought the ribbon and two crows from dollar tree, created a scary halloween wreath
 Halloween banner, scrapbook paper, letters, rope and hot glue


 My yarn wreath, the closest hobby lobby is 30 min a way, so I got my garland wreath at dollar tree, covered it with cloth then covered it in yard, made felt flowers and a bow for hanging $7


 My picture wall, I am adding a brown M in the middle of the teal frame, have to spray paint it

Halloween project

 All you need is felt, spiders from hobby lobby, an old t-shirt, wreath and ribbon to hang
 Wrap the wreath in cut up strip of t-shirt, use glue gun to apply strips, create flowers out of felt and add spiders, easy, easy!
Thought it looked a little too plain so I added these letters for halloween :)

New Project

  The Before pic of the boys bathroom

 My stenciling project, I thought it needed something else after I decorated and I loved this saying: Wash your hands and say your prayers cause germs and jesus are everywhere. I changed it up a little bit to match the whole bathroom theme and voila!

 It took a little longer than I thought it would, about 5 hours with breaks, of course. I had to go back with a paint brush and smooth up the edges after I stenciled, but I thought it turned out pretty good :)
