Getting Started with "Pooky" Decor

We use the word "pooky" because when Sydni was little, she would often tell people that we lived in a "pooky" house....she had trouble getting the "S" onto spooky.

OK, I like Halloween....and that shouldn't be a surprise to you since I like to scare the bejeebies out of my children...or friends' children...or husband...or dog...or anything that I think will jump. I'm sick, I know.

So, when you see my latest Halloween decor, it shouldn't surprise you.

I took regular cheap frames that I've had FOREVER...(do you say just like the kid in The Sandlot?)....FORRRRREVER!

I spray painted them WHITE.

Laid a piece of lace over them and

spray painted BLACK.

I think one of the frames has the colors reversed.

I used some scrapbook paper to make the mat.

I googled and stole....er, uh...borrowed the images.

I will hang them w/ my Halloween decorations...if I ever

get up to the "pooky" attic and get the decorations.

OK, just to let you know....the scaring bit is like a legacy in our family.

My grandfather got the biggest kick out of scaring us...

I was once so scared by him that all I could do was make a

primal sound....couldn't even cry or scream.

My Papa lives on.....because I now catch my children scaring each other

or some that shall remain NAMELESS...cough, sydni cough....

get a thrill out of tormenting the little Cooper boy she

babysits!!! Yes, this is the same daughter that SWORE she would

NEVER NEVER NEVER scare her kids.....tsk, tsk.

Are you sick like me or do you just do the fall decorations?
