Even better? Guess what the drapes are? Drop cloths from the hardware store, so inexpensive! Super thick, durable, heavy....I think they will do well in the AZ desert blazing sun. I'd have spent hundreds on these if I'd gone with, say, Sunbrella material or something.

Oh Ann, this looks so beautiful, and drop cloth, that's brilliant, looks like something out of a magazine. Can't wait till it's about 10 degrees cooler!

Made this - and love it! Love how low profile it is - hardly takes up any space at all. Cool! Thanks for posting about this.

Yay! Fun fun!! I don't know what kind of counter you have, but I put some of those little sticky felt pads on the bottom of mine. They fit perfectly and protect your counter.

Anyone doing Halloween decorations? A lot of the neighbors are doing theirs so we went and bought a pack of spider webs at the dollar store. We need more stuff. LOL There's a great skeleton at Costco for about $30. He's posable. Might go and get him.

Anyone carve pumpkins?

Are you talking about the skeleton of the dog? I want that one too!

capt_noonie · 10-04-2014, 08:43 PM

No it's a skeleton of a man! Well, a person anyway. He's barely my height, 60" tall!

I am doing halloween. I bought a cat skeleton that I love this yr. Im getting ready to put out my big pumpkins and I have a {Its all about the candy" sign on the door. I love decorating for halloween. I love those spider web things they are cheap but they really decorate a porch or fence. I have a skeleton too I just never put it out but maybe this yr. Its got a heart on it that flashes liike its beating so its pretty neat but I never know where to put it

Nancy1999 · 10-05-2014, 07:08 AM

We decorate inside and out. I love Halloween, even more so after coming to Phoenix, it means the heat will be letting up and we can once again go outside. I usually make everything, but lately there's so many wonderful things in stores that are as cheap as if I'd made them. It's such a fun time of year.

Gorgeous! I would like to make a reservation. Ann, very clever!

I found my dream home, but it is a little out of my price range.

The furnishings are also available for purchase. I would take some:
