Halloween Flashback: 2008

In case you didn't see it, I entered Paula Grace's Halloween contest for a bit of decorating help (I could really use a fresh set of eyes for inspiration). If you haven't already checked it out, please go take a look and vote for your favorite.

With that in mind, I thought it might be a good time to do a little bit of a flashback post to last Halloween for those that weren't readers at the time. For my long timers, feel free to just skip over the rest of this entirely.

A little time travel music, please. Poof - its Oct 31 2008.

As for exterior decorations, I went in a different direction this year. I'll be posting photos soon (just as soon as Im home in time to photograph it!) so keep an eye out.

WOW!! You really went all out. All I have is a goofy jack-o-lantern. I love that big ole giant tarantula. And all the cobwebs too. Can't wait to see your home looks like this year.

Wow, you totally deserve to win. I am seething with jealousy at your H-ween talent. You got my vote. And the invites? Totally stealing that idea next year, I'm such a nerd I put a note in my Outlook calendar to remind me to check your blog next year. Nerd. Ha. Oh and hi, I'm Shannon. This is me de-lurking.
