I think it can stay out through Thanksgiving and maybe even Christmas, because it has a frosty look to it. That skull took a lot of work, but I was so happy with the results! It seemed to get some attention from within the candy bowl too. :)<br /><br />I was just at Michael's last night. I didn't see any styrofoam eyes there, but I got enough other stuff. It's hard to pass up 80% off Halloween stuff! Glad someone read that acorn story. I'm laughing about it now but at the time I was so grossed out! I was further grossed out when I saw some pics of what that larvae grows into. That thing got a quick trip outside!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-8059193862652058572012-11-08T13:16:48.398-06:002012-11-08T13:16:48.398-06:00You make Dollar Store stuff look good!!!

I love the eyes that you painted in :)<br />Love the eyeball flowers too! I picked up a bunch of styrofoam eyes on clearence from Michaels. The possibilities are endless :) Glad that you have a use for the leaves! The acorn bug story cracked me up... u just never know the surprises that nature has in store!Countess VonRauber (Heidi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05880428613360138677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-71921135601654969022012-10-23T13:57:09.183-05:002012-10-23T13:57:09.183-05:00Ali ~ Thanks! :) I'm really happy with how tha...Ali ~ Thanks! :) I'm really happy with how that one turned out. It will be almost hard to give it away. I may just need to make a second one for myself! I agree that the pumpkin could stay out past Halloween. It has an almost icy appearance with the glitter, so it could work for winter. <br /><br />Have fun carving your pumpkins! There are some real pumpkins around here too, but they're not carved. I did something else with them that will be shared in my next blog post!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-89326309799510266922012-10-23T12:57:51.073-05:002012-10-23T12:57:51.073-05:00That purple pumpkin is so pretty.

They have some fun decorations, dishes, stickers, and even costume pieces! <br /><br />Magikalseasons ~ Thank you! I agree - the more pumpkins the better! Those Dollar Tree pumpkins are fairly small, so you can fit several into your decorations. I actually have a few more pumpkin projects I'm working on for Thanksgiving. I figure that a few glittery pumpkins will look nice with my harvest displays.<br /><br />Bob ~ Thanks! I'm pretty happy with my eyeball flowers too. Since I only did that to two flowers in my arrangement, they kind of sneak up on you. Even though I created them, the flowers still spook me. I feel like they're watching me!<br /><br />Pumpkin Cottage ~ Cool! I'll look at your email and get your CD packed up! Thanks for taking part in this exchange. :) I can't wait to see your photo!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-61085625768688689842012-10-22T18:44:19.853-05:002012-10-22T18:44:19.853-05:00Hi Justine ..I just sent in my email to you for th...Hi Justine ..I just sent in my email to you for the CD.

Yeah, I've been having fun in a sort of stressed out way. :) Now that some of the bigger projects are finished, I can have Halloween fun in a more relaxed way. Things will be pretty calm until Halloween night.<br /><br />Pumpkin Cottage ~ Thank you! I'd love it if you could get a picture to me and join in the fun. If you end up having the time to make a mix CD, I'd love to trade with you! <br /><br />Little Gothic Horrors ~ Thanks! Yeah, I guess you can see I was happy enough to not go with the rhinestone eyes. :) Not that I didn't like those too. They gave the skull that buried treasure kind of look. I think this one will really spook the little trick-or-treaters as I present the candy! <br /><br />The purple pumpkin is for a friend who gave me some magazines full of pumpkin decorating ideas. She's into glamorous, glittery things so I think it will be a fit for her. The glitter gave the pumpkin sort of a magical look, like Cinderella's coach. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-67655006061056499092012-10-21T19:14:26.256-05:002012-10-21T19:14:26.256-05:00You did a wonderful job with everything.

So I'm sure you could find a few! Did you see the photos from my witch party last year? The little birds were dressed for the occasion:<br /><br /><a href="http://justineshalloween.blogspot.com/2011/10/welcome-to-witch-party.html" rel="nofollow">Witch Party 2011</a><br /><br />Oh, I had a lot of fun making those eyeball flowers. They were the easiest craft I did this year, and I'm really happy with them! I put them in a vase with some normal flowers, so every now and then a flower makes eye contact with you. :)Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-33949498497795752312012-10-21T17:45:02.541-05:002012-10-21T17:45:02.541-05:00Great job with all of these.
