When did Hallowen become so crazy?

I love Autumn! I love to drag out my fall leave wreaths, placemats, dishes, mantle decorations, pumpkins, candles, fragrances, florals, etc. I can put them up in September and leave them until Thanksgiving. I would swap out a few Halloween items with some turkeys in November and be happy. But then Pinterest happened, and Laura happened. So I was caught up in her crazy Halloween love. We have taken on Halloween projects, and it took us hours on Saturday to dress up the house!

This little pinterest idea was really easy and quick and it didn't cost anything because I had all the old candles already. I discovered that alsthough the red candles are easier to melt because they are long and have their own wick, the red crayon was a much better color and texture.

So Laura did this Martha Stewart project - shred a black bag..

It's just a little out of control....
