Thanks for joining the party! I try to keep repurposing ideas fairly simple and today's ideas all seem pretty easy. -- Jan
DeleteReally cute ideas! Love the dryer vent pumpkins and the bottle goblins. Oh, and the mummy wrapped jars are really sweet, but I love the little baby shoe the best. So darling. xo
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a great idea? I have a friend who has a Christmas tree decorated for all the holidays. I'm going to make sure she includes one of those baby shoes on her Halloween tree. -- Jan
DeleteJan-I need to save this post somehow so I can get back here and remember these things. LOVE those milk bottle ghosts/pumpkins. I need to do that for the grandkids- Such fun- thanks- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteToday's ideas are definitely kid-friendly. I like the spider web grill, too, but I'm going to make sure that the grandkidlets and I make some of those candy orange pumpkins. The milk jugs are an awesome idea, too. -- Jan
DeleteAren't people so creative, a great post.
