Days of Halloween Giveaway day 7: Skeletal Support

It is officially half way through our "13 Days of Halloween Giveaway"! Each time you share that days post on Facebook you are entered to win. How awesome is that!? Check out all the dets here!

Now on to some even more fun stuff... Halloween Candle Sticks!

Here is an easy way to re-purpose something this Halloween. Every garage sale and thrift store is full of old brass table lamps. I happened to find a great assortment at our local Restore.  In three easy steps you will have a unique, one of a kind, spooktacular Halloween decoration!

1. Disassemble the old lamp. Most lamps are built pretty much the same way, thank goodness, I'm not sure I could handle the ins and outs of electricity. And lucky for us you can just throw all the electrical bits away for this project!

2. Take the base, the funnel and the and center pipe. Add your Halloween piece. In our case the skull and pumpkin. Secure it all with the nuts and bolts. 

3. Add some spray paint and there you go. An awesomely easy Halloween decoration.

Days of Halloween GIVEAWAY! Day 6: Center of Attention

I have always wanted to be one of those people whose house is never out of order. With the dishes always done, the pillows are on the couch, never the floor, and of course the beds are always made...BUT lets be real! Seriously who has time for that. I'm too busy running errands, working, planning and blogging! So when I am having company over, like tomorrow when my family comes for Sunday  dinner, I need something quick and easy for my tablescape. Something that allows conversation. Something that leaves room for the food, (the most important part!). And something that brings in the ambiance of the season. So in preparation I took a decorative cake pan- easy peasy! Placed two candles in it, and garnished it with pumpkins and pine cones. Set that in the center of a table runner and viola dinner just got a little bit better!
