It's October and that means Halloween.... It's crazy to think its here again already but it is! And this year I have had some fun making a few new things for inside and out. About 12 years ago doing wood projects was so in and I used to do them all the time and now they are back and even cuter. So, me and a few friends of mine got together and have made up the trick or treat blocks and the Wicked blocks which are my favorite. Then I needed a new wreath for the door and decided to make this one out of burlap. It turned out cute but is a little time consuming. Didn't think about that when I saw the idea, but was worth it. I also gave my pumpkins this year a little paint treatment just to spice things up a bit. Now its just time to get baking, costumes and then lots of candy. It's going to be busy this month but looking forward to a lot of family and friend time. The boys are already bugging to go to haunted houses and I don't know about it anymore. I had my share as a teenager and now I would rather pass. But I think will find some friendly ones for the twins and Patrick can go with his friends. Then everyone is happy.
Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Very cute decorations, did you mod podge paper or paint the wood? give me all your tricks:)
Thanks Amy! I did both. I paint the blocks first black or what ever color you would like. Then I traced and cut the letters out on the paper. Then mod podge the paper onto the wood. You let it dry and then I like to ink my edges on the paper to give it a finished look. (its called color box pigment brush pad) there little and you can get them at any craft store. Once its dry I mod podge over the top of the paper just so it seals it and it won't come off or rip. We get our wood blocks here at a store that cuts them and sells them in a set. Then you just buy your paper and ribbon and stuff and decorate how you like. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions let me know. Happy Crafting..
Oh, also the glitter on the i on the Wicked is actually a 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper that comes glittered. It makes it easy to trace, cut it out and mod podge it on without the mess. I find mine at Michaels. They always have different colors for different seasons.
