It’s October, everyone!!!!
Why so excited? Well, aside from all the birthdays & events I have lined up this month, it means it is HALLOWEEN! As long as I can remember, Halloween has been my favorite holiday. I think it was the whole be someone else aspect that really made it so appealing. I also have always loved playing dress up, so it’s right up my alley. I generally start looking for costume ideas around August and have made a decision by September. This year, I picked my costume relatively early and am so excited to see it come together.
But what I was just as excited for this year was decorating a house! In our old apartment, I was definitely limited in what I could do decor-wise and usually just settled for a hanging door sign. Well, limited decorations no longer! The second the calendar fell on October 1st, I began shopping and decorating. By the time Sunday rolled around, our house was in full blown ghoul mode. Unfortunately, it seems like we are the only house in the neighborhood that has gone spooky – I’m really hoping that will change as the month continues because I’d hate to live in an area where people don’t celebrate such a fun holiday.
What do you guys think of Halloween? How do you decorate?

I’m sure other houses will chime in–they’re just not as enthusiastic as you are 😉
I love Halloween too–in a condo, now so I don’t decorate much, but I decorate at my parents’ house. I usually do a few jack-o-lanterns and some type of spooky sign on the door.

I too love this holiday because I too love dressing up. And I love your decor! Wish I had a place to decor 🙁
