I have decorated all I wanted to this year for Halloween. I didn't put out all of my skeletons and other things in the yard because had way too many other things to do this year. Plus, Thanksgiving follows and I like the Autumnal leaves and other fall things to enjoy while I can.
So here is some Halloween
Not spooky but I like the lighting as entering front door
Not the best painting. I found this pumpkin stack at Hobby Lobby and painted for the corner
This crow husband purchased at a shop in Maryland 20 years ago at least.
My bathroom. Yes, it has those retro tiles. Not going to replace them. They are in great shape and not broke, so no fixing needed. I like my Formica top too.
I shared my kitchen window before. My pumpkins I cut from wood, sanded then painted.
A little fall on my dining table
An old papier mâché pumpkin I purchased years ago. Inside is a colored light. 
Earlier outside I have a skeleton sitting next to sidewalk
Ghosts next to lamp post
Skeleton by side door
well, at least he's smiling, not too frightening.
Halloween wreath friend sent me several year back
Granddaughter Genevieve had a birthday last week. She asked me to make her a Marmalade cake. She loves Marmalade. I like the bitter orange kind but her cake I made with the Smuckers sweet orange.
I used the package Pillsbury but added four eggs and 3/4 cup orange juice along with oil to mix.
I also before layering brushed with orange juice each layer a thin spread of Ermine frosting, I made it as I like it better because it's not as sweet. After a thin layer of that I put between each layer several tablespoons of marmalade.
She is 11 years old now.
My birthday was two days later
My daughter in law sent me flowers while she was out of town for work.
Such a nice surprise and they are so pretty.
Husband gave me roses and a new camera. I am still needing to read how to use it.
Grand girls gave me this elf doll holding lipstick and wearing heels.
sassy little heels
I love my p.j.'s from Jennifer along with other sweet gifts, I do love having comfortable pajamas. She is a dear friend from early school days. We go back many years. My sister gave me the one with cats on them. I will sleep very comfortable in these.
Outside another ghost from 5 below. Couldn't pass it up
BOO

I think your decorations look wonderful! Tasteful and great accents. Happy Birthday to your sweet granddaughter and Happy Birthday to you! I love your elf doll, especially her shoes.
Thank you for your sweet comment.
Dearest Betsy,
Happy belated Birthday to you!
No Halloween decorations for me, we never have valued that.
It is kind of odd for suppressing All Souls and All Saints with an ancient Celtic origin.
Hugs,
Mariette
Good day to you Mariette, Thank you for Birthday blessings. The young ones love coming to get candy and seeing decorations although more and more do the trunk or treat at the churches now. Hugs, Betsy

Thank you Kim..
I love all your decor. I have things out in the house but I have a lot outside. I really went wild with yard. I love Halloween, favorite holiday and I love FALL, favorite season. Hoping you and your grand have a great birthday. I have one grand that had a bday in Sept., the oldest just had one last week and my middle one has one coming up next week....then their mom is in Dec. Lots of celebrating done and to do yet to come. But thankful that I live near them now so I can be a part of all that.
I hope we have more children this year. I love seeing the out door decorations riding around the neighborhood here and beyond. You sure do have a lot of celebrating to do. I miss when mine were babies and toddlers. I am thankful they are healthy and growing but its fun seeing little ones experience new things and doesn't take much to make them happy. You enjoy as I am sure you are with your new babies on the way and great grandbaby born in September.
