Decorating :)

This season is my favorite season of all. I love the fall colors, the fall leaves, and the holidays. Halloween is so much fun and Thanksgiving is my all time favorite because of all the family and great food :P Since we are still tight with money, I had to come up with a way to decorate our place for cheap but still cute! Ive never had my own place to decorate before and now that these holidays are coming up, I am so excited! So I decided to check out the dollar store to see if they had anything worth buying. I dont want to get things that look cheap but my sister advised me that she had bought quite a few things there. She was totally right. I was able to buy tons of cute things!
Okay, so its hard to tell, But in the left picture, I bought the cutest black crows. There is one on the top shelf on the left and one on the second shelf that got cut off in the picture ha (on the right). I also bought the fake leaves and the skull thats is on the very top! I was so happy to find them. They are so awesome and dont look cheap at all. I spread more fall leaves through out the house with a couple orange pumpkins as well. Then I did something I found on pinterest: the black bats in the top right picture. I cut them out from a dollar store poster board using bat stencils I printed out from google images. They turned out perfectly. It might be my favorite of them all. :) AND I bought the witch sign in the bottom right picture from the dollar store. It almost looks like chalkboard paint. Definitely cute enough to buy and I had the perfect spot right in the entry of my kitchen :) SO happy to find cheap but CUTE stuff :)
Also, Target has some great decor in their dollar bin section. I bought these adorable pumpkins there to put on my coffee table!
I am still working on my fall wreath for my front door. I have a couple pumpkins on my front porch but other than that, my porch is pretty bare. The wreath will add a little seasonal flare :) Ill post a picture when I finish!
