UPDATE: The winner is…Rita!

Our family is very serious about celebrating the seasons and holidays. We have garden flags for EVERYTHING. My daughter hangs signage she makes with her Cricut and decorations inside the living room. Summer is still here, but we’ve already had the conversation about what the kids will dress as for Halloween!
In early September, she will be eager to put out all her decorations, including my contribution—a tree filled with Strangling fairy ornaments. Something else I collect. I currently have twenty of them. Isn’t this one cute?
I’d love to hear whether you decorate or have some family tradition to mark the holidays. And have fun with the puzzle!

I won’t get started till October. I’ve been collecting decorations for so long that I have to stop myself from getting started too early or I might (yes, this is based on experience) end up with tons of stuff that I can’t use or plans that are way too big to be able to accomplish (think of an entire army of skeletons in the front yard which has yet to happen). I love the puzzle! She’s pretty creepy!

I start with the mental planning on Nov 1. Take what I see on various venue sites and start a board on Pinterest. So. During the months I collect to a theme I wanted to embellish. I also joined a few Halloween themed groups on fb and that inspires me.
Actually DIY is more Oct 1. That’s when I physically start with the decorating.
ps. are you sure the puzzle isn’t a self you took D? lol

We don’t really decorate a lot for Halloween since it’s just me and my mom at our home. We have a couple of blow ups we put in the yard, but that’s about it.

Halloween isn’t a huge thing in Australia but after saying that it is growing in popularity with the kids I will sometimes get kids knocking on the doors but not many people decorate Don’t think anything will be happening this year as we are in lockdown in Sydney and can’t see it changing any time soon

We only decorate for Christmas season. Never liked Halloween so definitely don’t decorate for it.
