Are we really here again...already? Yes, start your planning now! Just a friendly reminder to get movin'! Every year {after the wonderful Halloween night has passed} I say, to myself, I am going to do better next year or do more or start earlier! Fall is my favorite time of year and with it comes all the splendor of decorating for the season. This bat project was relatively easy and didn't require too much commitment. Kind of a last minute project I jumped at. I think it gave me the desired affect I was looking for to decorate my front door (yes, that is my front door and my daughter). I call it "creepy elegance". Even though it is only September 24, I feel like I am behind in my planning. Especially when you are looking for material for your blog! I am determined to enjoy myself and not stress over how much I decorate this year. If you would like to try to make these bats, please go here for my instructions. Come join me and let's get creative! My favorite thing to do...

Since I am in Halloween mode now, I am going to try and do a weekly post on decorating for Halloween or the Fall season. I am going to see how it goes! It is such a beautiful time of year here in Massachusetts! I hope you are enjoying gorgeous weather wherever you may be! I am looking forward to seeing all the beautiful leaf colors!
If you would like to share your Fall or Halloween projects please link up! I would love to see them!
Stay tuned for more!

Just creepy fun! Love the design going over the glass door and the walls!
We are not too much into halloween decorating, but my kids run the show outside...after seeing your house I do reconsider this! Great inspiration!

I am so excited to decorate for Halloween :)
I'm trying not to buy too much stuff before our move so I think this year will be pretty low key but I would love to see what you and everyone else come up with!
I love Halloween too! I have seen that swarming bat idea for a front door... it's brilliant!
Just loving your blog!!!

I don't do a lot of Halloween decor, I am in a condominium....the bats are so fun though!!

Love your porch all decorated! We made some bats for the playroom last year, maybe some for the porch this year too. Will you have another link party?
Love this... maybe I'll try something similar this year!

You always do such great fall decorating! LOVE the bats flying across the front door - and your daughter is adorable! I'm going to try and get my act together this year and try and do more than just pumpkins.
Enjoy those beautiful New England fall days...what a gorgeous time of year.
