I love to decorate at Halloween, and I especially love my DIY Halloween mantel!
Every year, when fall rolls around, I seem to have a routine that follows the same path.

I decorate…{duh.}

I bake something. {I only bake like twice a year, so this is big.}
Last weekend I made Jen’s Banana Muffins. Ohmygosh. They are so good.

ย I take Miss L. outside and take some cute “fall pictures”
{See bottom of this post…}

Here are my Halloween Mantel tutorials:

*My twigs are spray painted with Krylon’s “Ocean Breeze”.
Miss L’s cousins introduced her to a giant leaf pile last weekend. She was half terrified, half thrilled…

Have a great day! ๐
1. Precious photo of Miss L. Looove it.
2. So glad you liked the banana muffins… they may get you baking more than 2x a year, right? ๐
3. Still love that Halloween sign.
1. Thank you…she’s pretty precious. ๐
