Halloween is here and we have been invaded by spooky friends yet again!!!
We even had a new witch and jack o'lantern join the fun!
Meet our newest friend! When I saw her on a clip art site, I knew she would want to hang out in our dining room. Hmmm... I wonder what she is cooking up?
Dracula is back!
He was always in our bay window in Charleston so I have him swooping in from the
side in our new house.
This happy jack o'lantern is popping in with a few bat friends. This window is easily 20 feet up. I was shaking like a leaf putting him up there and didn't care if he was crooked or not! I was terrified of falling backward! Thank goodness I will only do this a two times a year!
Our sweet cat is back! She is the only cat allowed in the house that won't make the husband sneeze besides me (he always calls me Kat!)!
Jemma's favorite witch is zooming in on her broomstick. Jem was so sad that she wasn't in her room anymore. I have a feeling I will be making one for her room even though it is in the back of the house!
I think the new witch is my favorite!
I created these by using good old fadeless black bulletin board paper that I bought at a teachers' supply store. I found pictures I liked online first. Then I cut the paper the size of the windows and just hand sketched the picture on. I cut them out and taped them up! Easy peasy!!
It is definitely feeling like Halloween now!

You know I love it and I love the new witch stirring up her brew. Your neighbors are going to wonder who moved in their neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask you how you did it. My sister has some that someone gave her and my husband wants some for our windows. Definately Dracula, the witch and some bats.
ReplyDeleteYour neighbors must love it! Very cool effect.
ReplyDeleteMan girl I LOVE LOVE LOVE these things!~ You must be a hit in your new neighborhood. Your house looks so pretty, spooky and cool at the same time. Thanks for sharing. I am going to share these on facebook if you don't mind:)

I just love these and they always make me smile -- so happy to see them back. Your new neighbors must think you're the coolest. chick. ever!
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah!! You are so talented!! They look really good!
ReplyDeleteYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY !!! I'm soooo glad to see that this tradition didn't stay in Charleston, girlfriend. You did a fantastic job ... and, I'm super proud of you for climbing up that ladder. I wouldn've passed OUT, for sure. You guys are going to be the envy of the neighborhood. LOVE it all !!!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing this post every year, this is such a creative idea, as I've never seen it done before. Looks great! XO ~Liz
ReplyDeleteOh I just love it! I have never decorated our house "fun" for Halloween, but I've always wanted to. I'm sure the neighborhood kids get a kick out of yours!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

Your electric bill for
ReplyDeleteOctober will be pretty
spooky, but I think the
neighbors will all tell you
that it's totally worth it!
What a cute and fun
tradition that you have
created, Kat!!
I wonder what Jemma is
going to be for Halloween?
Be forewarned, it's almost
always really, REALLY cold
on the big night. It's not
unusual to see princesses
with sweat pants or long
johns on under their pretty
gowns and wearing WARM
shoes and even gloves or
ear muffs : )
Enjoy this rainy, cozy day.
It's been a long time since
we've had rain!
Happy Tuesday,

I love these! They look so good on your new house. So simple, yet striking! My favorite is the witch on the broom too.
ReplyDeleteYour new neighbors are going to be so envious....such cool Halloween decor :) Love the new witch!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely the most fun Halloween decor ever, Kathryn!! So fun and cool. Your new witch is really a great addition to your collection. Wish I could do this. Glad to see you incorporated this into your new home. :-)

I can't tell you how much I love that you do your windows like this...so awesome!!! One day, I'll have a house, and am going to give this a try...thanks to your lovely inspiration! <3
ReplyDeleteThis is the coolest window treatment I have ever seen! The clean, huge windows gave justice to the designs; it looks so realistic. I wonder what decoration you had just this Halloween, and what you have in mind for your window this Christmas. >> Li Ayers @ Renewal by Andersen®
