2008 Halloween decorations a photo essay

I have a bunch of pictures on my computer of our Halloween decorations from last year. Sadly most all of them I had to throw away. They were stored in my cellar in a box and I didnt think any dampness could get to them where I had them sitting. I didnt realize the wall they were up against must at times leak but apparently it does because the bottom half or the box was soaked and all mold. It wasent like I had any real expensive decorations but I loved the ones that my daughter had made. I wanted to keep them and put them up every year but I had to throw most of them out. At least I had taken pictures of them when they were on display so I decided to make a photo essay to share with everyone.

This was the kitchen window.

This was a spider that I believe goes outside but it worked great hanging above my dining room table. I think it looked creepy and was cute when he kids were coloring under this at the table during my playgroup. In the background you cansee my daughters chair she made. I had saved it to add on to it more this year kind of like to have a streamer of it but it got ruined in the box so I bought black streamers for the playgroup this year.

This was our front door. I thought it looked really cute.

This was a craft that I bought at acmoore and my daughter and I made it. I love it.

Just some more decorations.

My daughter made this and I LOVED it. It got ruined in the box so she is currently in the process of making a new one.

Just some more decorations.

My daughter mad this when she was 3 so I really was happy that it didnt get ruined in the box! These little things mean a lot to me to be able to have as keepsakes!

This was a craft my daughter and I did. I loved it. She did such a good job. Its made of poster board, wiggly eyes, foam for the mouth and white tissue paper. This unfortunately got ruined in the box.

This spiderweb we made with yarn and then I cut out spiders from foam sheets and printed out pictures of my children and put one of there faces on each spider head. The decorations above that are ones that my children and I made.

These are the magnets that were on my cupboard. They all were in a plastic ziplock bag so were not ruined in the box. We made all of them with perler beads except for the pumpkin in the upper left hand corner. The pumpkin on the right hand side that has a brown stem my daughter did all by herself at 4 years old. She amazes me with the things she comes up with. She didnt have a pattern she just came up with it out of her head and I think she did an amazing job!
