Halloween Decor - Witches' Workshop

I'm jumping back a month to Halloween to revisit some Halloween crafts and ideas...

My neighbor loves Halloween and throws a costume party every year.  About 3 to 4 weeks before the party we start decorating her house.  When I say decorate I don't mean putting up a couple knick knacks, I'm talking floor to ceiling decorations with enough spider webbing to cover the state!  Bats, skulls, candles, spiders, ghosts, witches...I could go on and on.  This year she was looking for something different to decorate her buffet table.  I had seen some great ideas on Pinterest (love it!) using apothecary jars so I turned the buffet into a witches' workshop. 



I filled a couple of condiment jars with ears and eyeballs and another with severed fingers and then added colored water.  Other jars were filled with moss and a collection of spiders and bugs.  The table was complete with a cauldron, witches spell book, candles, spiders, mice, bats and body parts.  Everything a witch would require for the perfect spell!

I think it turned out pretty well.  Let me know your thoughts and other ideas.

"Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try."

I am addicted to just about anything creative or crafty...hence my blog name.  Because of my long standing addiction to creativity as well as my new addiction to Pinterest I thought I would try a blog.  I have been afraid to do it because really...who am I?  Who wants to read what I have to say?  Well I hope other creative and crafty people like me will.  At least if it doesn't work I can say I tried!

So if it's creative, crafty, if I've tried it or would like to try it I will include it on my blog.  I hope you enjoy!
