Hello Friends of Deep in the Heart of Arkansas!

   My name is Kylie, and you can read my blog “Absolutely Arkansas” at absolutelyarkansas.blogspot.com.      

2 Arkansas bloggers...who woulda thunk it!

Over at Absolutely Arkansas we are doing Halloween week,

so I am here to share with you some of my favorite craftiness ;)

 People, hear me. There are few in this world that love the “Ers” as much as me. (September-December) I have a countdown come January 1^st, to prepare for the next season. I am not even kidding you! My cheerfulness rivals buddy the elf and my love for fun Holiday décor sometimes can take over my life.

 When I was 18, I moved out of my parent’s house and into a TINY studio apartment. My 1^st Christmas rolled around and I needed a TINY tree. So I bought a little 4 footer and absolutely loved it.

 We then upgraded, and for the past few years have had 2 trees.

 This Halloween rolled around, and while I was in the Attic fighting off mice, and kicking the tale of any dust myte that looked my way, I had a light bulb moment. I am going to make a “HALLOWEEN TREE!”. I mean Christmas trees are the best part of Christmas right? Why the heck not make a Halloween tree to pose as the fabulous focal point in your Halloween home. (Now that’s some awesome alliteration. HA! I just can’t stop myself)

 All I did is use 2 cans of Flat Krylon black spray paint, and get to work. I sprayed and sprayed until I could see sounds and hear colors,  and VOILA! It was magic. Halloween magic. I simply draped some old Halloween garland and let it be. I promise, it will have a much more “grand” appearance next year, cause as soon as November 1^st hits…I’m going to get all Coupon lady at Hobby Lobby, and scoop up some discount tree trimmins’.

My favorite part of the tree is underneath. What do you put underneath a Christmas tree? Presents of course! So what do you put underneath a Halloween tree?? NATURALLY pumpkins and skulls! Helloooo this is the most spooktacular time of year.

 

  I really encourage you to grab yourself a can of spray paint…and transform any item in your home. Its amazing what it can do! I am thinking about picking up a package of those little plastic spiders, and chroming em out with some metallic paint. I really like to “glam up” my spooky specials…don’t you??

  Thank you for letting me share with you today, I hope you will stop by Absolutely Arkansas some time, and make yourself at home! (But not too much at home…my bed is only big enough for the 2 of us ;)
