I knew it would happen. I could feel it the moment I posted about it. Something just wasn’t right about my Halloween mantel. Why can’t I just be pleased with it and move on?
I think I would have been just fine had I not walked into my grocery store tonight at spotted this sign. Yeah, my grocery store. I couldn’t put it in my cart fast enough. 
Needless to say, I’m still tweaking. Perhaps I’ll share the evolution of this tricky mantel (get it? tricky?). My girlfriend wants to do Hobby Lobby and lunch this weekend. Darn her. I know she’s gonna make me spend money. At least that’s what my story will be.
You’re up! Show me…err…everyone all your projects! I’m anxious to see!
Well, hello. Ahem. Allow myself to introduce..my..self. My name is Chris! And I’m a blogger! I got into blogging after spending months reading all the inspiration that is found in blogland. I thought to myself, “Self, I can do this. I might have something to offer too!” And so it began...

I apologize for not haveing anythign to share…but i just HAD to say how cute I think your mantle is- oh, umm, not cute- I mean, INCREDIBLY SPOOOOOOOKY! =)
I really love it so far….
Tweaks only make things better. It's not a normal day around our house unless I'm tweaking something.
Ooh I like that sign. Cute! I think I saw that somewhere too. Hmmmm, Meijer? Maybe. Anyway, I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday and they didn't have any Halloween stuff that I just HAD to have. While they did have some cute things, I just didn't feel the need to spend any money.
I love the sign! Thanks for hosting today.Hobby Lobby is my favorite store, hope you have a fun afternoon!
that sign and pumpkin lady look perfect there!
I would love to have that sign! Where did you buy it? Love your mantel. Also, where did you get the witch on your mantel..
I'm loving your spooky mantel. Thanks for hosting the party, can't wait to go check out some of these fabulous ideas!
You went to Meijer! 🙂 I got my signs from there too, and the bats, and the little black and cream pillows.. They have really good decorations this year.. 🙂
I love your mantel. Thanks for hosting. Have a great weekend.
Get out! What supermarket do you shop at?? I love it and I want one! I actually have a supermarket that sells some home decor type things. I think it's Stop and Shop {here on Long Island} and they actually have topiaries up on top of the different shelving areas. I couldn't believe it when I saw it ~ you can go in for a quart of milk and a topiary for your mantel in the same trip!
Oh Chris, not to say I didn't like your what you did before, but this, well this I LOVE! I know I'm tweaking until Halloween night when the trick o treater's are knocking on my door, so tweak away!
A grocery store? Lucky you! I would of grabbed that sign as well, your mantle is spooky cute.
Love this sign!!!! Have a happy weekend, Chris!
It's absolutely impossible to not spend money at Hobby Lobby…or Target…or Michaels…or Old Navy. Ok, you get the picture. Just remind yourself how short a shelf life halloween decor has.

Awsome sign – love it. Looks great on your mantel too!
My grocery store never has anything that cool! Just some bruised bananas and grouchy cashiers.
LOVE your mantle!
Love the new sign! I think October is my favorite month of the year. It's so much fun.
Thanks for hosting! Mantels are made for rearranging. Hobby Lobby=dangerous but so much fun too. 🙂
Mantels are fun to rearrange because they are so manageable. It's not like rearranging an entire room. And it's fun. And yours is cute!
It looked great before, but I do love that new sign! Don't you love it when you find great stuff at random places? Oh, and I NEVER quit tweaking. Anything. Thanks for hosting:)
Okay, this is kind of spooky… but I was at that store yesterday and I saw that sign and I thought to myself "that reminds of something I would see in a picture from JAG"!!! I am not kidding.
I really need to start posting my projects better! I'll try and do it! Be careful at Hobby Lobby! It's always a temptation for me!

First of all I would like to say fantastic blog!
I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I’ve had a tough time
clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or hints? Kudos!
