Lions and Tigers and . . . Elephants

Have you ever seen a gourd at the market and thought...that's an elephant?

Well, I see things and think that's an easy elephant.

All I had to do was paint it and then glue on some wiggly eyes.

And then I took some construction paper and cut out the ears.

And then I glued them...

And then I had to find a pumpkin for the body of my elephant

And then I stuck the head on the body with some bamboo skewers

How to make a HAUNTED HALLOWEEN

It's super simple to decorate for Halloween without being too ghoulishly scary but still keeping to the season theme. I start with different sized gourds and then I pull out the paint, glitter, glow-in-the-dark paint and googly eyes ;D

Then I line up the little ghosts, goblins and ghouls on the porch.

I also use fall leaves and banners to wish neighbors a Happy Halloween.

And, in the end, it's cuter than scary but it's still super bootiful ;D
