• Halloween Sticks
  One of the things I love about decorating for Halloween is that there are so many great items that you can use that are super inexpensive.  Pumpkins, candy corn, even stick. Yes, I said sticks.  Dead, black sticks/ Just A Girl put some in a jar and added a crow: It's The Little Things That Make A House A Home tucked some away in a vase of candy corn:    […]
