Our Halloween Tree!

Okay, my husband thinks I am nuts but my kids and I made a Halloween tree this weekend while we listened to LDS General Conference. He says he has never heard of such a thing. All I know is we had a great time and I think it looks cute! A couple of weeks ago Matthew and I saw some branches on the curb left over from when the city guys trimmed bushes along our street. We picked some up on our walk home from school and saved them. I tied them together and then spray painted them silver. We just stuck them in a mason jar with some clear marbles to keep them stable . Then we used some of the adorable papers and stickers I have gotten in some swaps lately to make ornaments. The kids did a great job and it really turned out fun I think. And the whole thing cost me $1.19 for the can of spray paint!
































We put it on the half-table in the front entry so everyone can see it when they come in. They are on the table with my kids in their Halloween costumes. I also have been collecting fun Halloween frames that I put pictures of my kids in their Halloween costumes in each year. It is fun to see how they have grown and changed and we get to enjoy all that work I put in every year! Plus it adds to my Halloween decoration collection!
