There is nothing quite like the brisk fall air combined with the feeling of Halloween in the air. Halloween will always be a memorable day for my family as it is the anniversary of me and Arthur’s first date (12 years ago now). To make the day even more memorable, each year I scour the web for amazing DIY Halloween party ideas to use in our home.
Every year, whether or not we have a Halloween party, you can expect to see decorations going up around September. Each year in our living room, we pick a theme to dictate how we will decorate. We have done a witches lair, a pirates cave and a mad scientists laboratory. This year is still undecided, but we are thinking either Egyptian tomb or a giants home. (You will have to stay tuned to find out 😉
I have already started gathering some inspiration for our DIY Halloween decorations. I can’t wait to see how the house turns out this year!
