Halloween is tomorrow, but it's not too late to do a simple last-minute door decoration to add a little SPOOK to your decor! With Halloween on a Thursday this year, I am sure festivities will carry on through the weekend. I know they will at my house! Dollar Tree is one of my favorite spots for affordable holiday decor and crafting ideas! Have you heard of Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club? I just recently discovered it! Dollar Tree Value Seekers Club is a club full of crafts, recipes, décor, tips, contests, insider information, frugal fun ideas, and more! Membership is Free and content changes each month. A great feature is that project sheets can be saved or printed – perfect for taking to the store as a shopping list. Be sure to read to the end for an exciting GIVEAWAY!

We live in the country and never have trick-or-treaters. This year we have decorated our family/media room for Halloween. We spend a lot of time here together as a family and with friends. Instead of placing my bats over a door, I decided to use mine all around a Halloween vignette by the door leading into this room. It will be seen more and enjoyed by us here!

The only things that I needed to purchase were black poster board and double stick tape all from Dollar Tree. I used two sheets of poster board and the tape for less than $3! How's that for affordable! You could also use foam board and construction paper all found at Dollar Tree. While I was there, I also purchased the spooky eye balls, spiders and rats to add to the vignette.

I chose to enlarge a few of my bats with my home ink-jet printer. Then I simply traced them on the black poster board and cut them out.

I wanted to add a bit of sparkle to just a few with silver glitter that I already had on hand. 

I simply brushed some white glue on a few areas and sprinkled with glitter.

Then it was time for the fun part! Simply place your bats with double stick tape around and on your door or like I did….around my vignette!

    I love love love the Dollar Tree! Your batt decor idea looks spook-tacular! I grew up in the country, in a village with a population of 500 (seriously – that’s all!) and we never had many trick or treaters either! That means more candy left for you though right – lol?? I think I’ve eaten about a quarter of the mini chocolate bars that I bought already! Getting me some ‘Halloween Hips’ – haha!! Great post Christy!

    Christy,
    Love those Halloween Decorations! I will certainly check that Dollar Tree site out later. I stopped in at the junkiest Dollar Tree store yesterday looking for two items; ended up biuying 2 boxes of Foil Sheets that I like to use for baking potatoes in the oven. Our regular grocery stores never seem to stock this item but I can usually find them in DT. I love the way you share your creative ideas on your blog. Is that a mirror you sprayed with chalkboard paint that has the spooky message on it? The tombstone, is that from DT ? Almost looks like the shape of an iron. Where are you displaying these decorations? Your porch? We live in a Sr. citizens community so not much need for decorations outside but who says we can’t decorate the windows inside or have a party and invite a few friends and decorate the inside? That will go on my 2014 list of goals!

      Thanks, Bety! Always happy to hear from you! You are just so very sweet and supportive! I am going to have the tutorial up on the chalkboard Friday! It was a mirror, but removed the mirror. I’ve had the tombstone forever! I don’t remember from where. The Dollar Tress does have some though! There is still time to throw a quick and easy get-together in your neighborhood! Lots of decorating at the Dollar Tree! Serve coffee and everyone bring a dessert! Make it easy so you can enjoy the social time! Hugs~Christy

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins!

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
