Considering I don't like spiders, bats, zombies, supernatural or other spooky scary stuff (and get a teeny bit freaked out by some of the various ghosties and ghouls who come
begging Trick or Treating after dusk) I do actually make an effort with the Halloween preparations!
Plus it's the one day of the year I can pretend the cobwebs on the ceiling are part of the decorations!
I've blu-tac'd a trail of spiders on the front door leading to the doorbell (although they're a right b*gger to pull off the next day as the blu-tac seems to weld itself to the plastic door overnight!), I've strung up the dinky lanterns that I made last year in green, orange and purple felt and taped some pumpkin fairy lights to the windows. And of course not forgetting my trick or treat pouches (
see my pouch post here).
I have also sent a couple of Halloween cards.
And when I say 'couple', I actually do mean 'couple'.
Literally.
I blogged the first one, featuring
Willow the Witch, a few weeks ago, and I'm sharing the other one today.
But I liked this little kitty so much that I made one for myself too! :0)
So here's Midnight the kitty with his cute little hat and pumpkin.
Isn't he adorable!
If you're interested, here's a quick pic of my front door with its spider trail and pumpkin lights!
Here's the inside of the porch, which to be fair, only me and hubby can see because I keep the light off so that the pumpkin lights show up through the glass (and then I have to fumble for the door handle and box of treat pouches in the dark when the doorbell rings!!!)
