Do Not Enter!!! Spooky Mansion!

That’s what the little toothpicks ‘nailed’ across the door say. The girls were 4 and 7 when we created this very spooky house. We all smile when it makes its yearly appearance on our table. The project began as one of those plain paper houses you can purchase at hobby stores. I’ve always used a lot of exclamation points when I talk.

    It’s great! We just spent the rainy afternoon painting a dollhouse I bought at a second hand store. Tomorrow we are sewing little blankets and making fimo dishes. I will have to show the kids your spooky house.

    I love the house, I love all the wonderful things US bloggers make for Halloween! I’m curious about the table-runner I see under the house! Is it Halloween too?? Such a shame we don’t really celebrate Halloween!

    Great house… perfect for Halloween. But the best part is the tradition that you have started for your family. Traditions are glue that connect us with the past.

    This is too cute. What a great idea. My mom used to make one out of gram crackers every year with black frosting. It was disgusting, but adorable at the same time. It never tasted good after sitting around for a month, either.

    We don’t actually do Halloween, but your halloween house is fantastic. I love bringing out Easter and Christmas decorations that the children have made each year.
