Halloween Easy

This year

I'm going easy on Halloween...

yes, i'm a softy....

Not my usual Halloween creep-fest of

 tombstones, scary creatures sitting in chairs,

skeleton's everywhere...

no faux blood dripping ...

or creepy music playing...all the fun stuff! 

it's Halloween Fat Free (a.k.a. scary free)

 nice and easy for Halloween 2010

just a simple, fall harvest display here ~

some fake mums and some real mums

i made orange & black banners for the banisters...

no cobwebs or giant spiders this year

just keeping it simple ~  pumpkins and gourds

a little red wagon I scored last weekend at the flea market...

oh, how I wanted to put a skeleton in it...

however, I resisted and did a bale of straw (hay)...

a nice fall vignette...

Okay, I did do two little scary things...

i added two little ~green~  glittered rats...

I had to have something scary!

I had to!

i 'm liking a simple Halloween this year

~or should I say~ Harvest Display

in past years...

 we had a creepy, scary house on Halloween

little trick-or-treat or's didn't want to walk up to our door...

they'd scream and run....

okay,

it was the five and under crowd ~

 not the older kids!

it's less scary here this year!

going easy on the little tricksters this year ~

I did see some houses in the neighborhood

who have their

graveyards, cobwebs and creepy stuff up...

i'm so jealous....

Next year ~ beware

I'll be back!
