Are you ready.....

for Halloween? It's hard to believe that October is half over already. I finally pulled all my Halloween stuff out, and it is all over my living room, waiting for me to get my act together and finish decorating. I have some wonderful vintage looking pieces that I have collected over the years, and it's always fun to see them again every Halloween. Maybe I'll share a few of my favorites after I clean up my mess!

I have been busy working on some Halloween projects for Urban Scrapbook, so I will be posting photos over the next two weeks. I will share these Halloween sticks with you today though!

I saw these stars on someone's blog (Sorry, I can't remember whose, but whoever you are, thanks for the inspiration!)and they were really easy to make. I made them with paper mache stars, dowels, ribbon and paper. I just covered the stars with patterned paper (Pink Paislee, and Girl's Paperie)distressed, inked the edges, and the centers were Pink Paislee embellishments over accordion flowers. I made a small hole in the bottom and stuffed the center of the strip of ribbons in before I stuck the dowel in. I then wrapped Tim Holtz Halloween tissue tape around the dowels and they were done!
