Yea! It's fall

 

Even my five year old is excited about the season change this year. The temperature, the smell in the air, everything feels of fall right now. I love it! Andi woke up on yesterday and declared "it is 22 today, THAT MEANS IT'S FALL". I'm so happy she is excited! I wish she didn't have school so we could spend more of the day together doing fun stuff. Cilas isn't as excited about it, but I'm taking him to the lake tomorrow and hopefully that can get him into it. We are going to collect leaves, acorns, and pine cones. They have an after school play date with our new neighbors so we won't do our craft until Tuesday after school. But we are going to make stained glass windows with the leaves, acorn people with the acorns, and I'm going to use the pine cones to make a wreath. I finished my first spell book and potion bottle. They came out great and I'm excited to make them additions to my scarce selection of Halloween decorations. This is how they came out:

I was really proud of them!! I really liked the bottle of "muumy dust". I just started using photoshop. I used it to make the label and I think it turned out really awesome. I used tea to age everything. It worked pretty good, too. I think it did wonders to the book. I kinda rubbed it around extra in different places to give it depth. I got the idea from pinterest. They were from two different sites. Here are the links: Mummy Dust  
and Spell Book 
I plan on doing another spell book. It's halfway done. It 's the brown one beside the mummy dust bottle. I'm going to do this one kinda like the book on Hocus Pocus. I'll post pictures and links when I'm finished with it.
