Seasons Changing Halloween Fall and Cooler Weather

 

Seasons Changing Halloween Fall and Cooler Weather

Hi! Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Always happy to see everyone that drops by. Here we are the first of October of 2025. Time is starting to move along a little quicker. Season is working on changing from hot summertime to Fall. With Fall comes some holidays too. 

This past weekend our son brought up a lot of the Halloween decorations trying to decide how to lay things out this year. Ever since we have moved in here a few years ago we have become known as The Spooky House. Everyone kind of keeps an eye out for this place because of how we decorate for Halloween, and for Christmas too. A lot of work goes into it all., we enjoy it, but enjoy more how the kids like it and comments with it too. His new wife will be experiencing this with us. Unfortunately she is not as fond of the scarey things as we are. 

The pictures you are seeing are some of the decorations to sort through, and figure out what will be getting displayed. We have quite a few skeletons, and 3 dummies too. Tuesday I had set out the head stones between the bushes outside. These stones were connected to would pieces for more weight. They were then foam sprayed around the bottom of stone and top of the wood piece, and then spray painted a brownish color to look like dirt around them. I have small stacked lighted pumpkins on each side of the outside porch arch. Need to plug them in yet. The blog bugs have made it hard to work outside with things! 

Not pictured are some of our animated characters we have like a headless guy holding a pumpkin head that is sensored, lady in white gown also holding a head with a button moves and makes sounds, the sensored spider that jumps up at you. The spider has been very popular past few years. Kids like to make it jump, and some parents like to video the spider too. 

When we get more set up I will make sure to share pictures with you. The outside, the inside in front of 1 window, also our big bay window…we fill it all up. 

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Enjoy the season changes, and have fun. Take care, and see you all again soon.

Halloween Home Decorating Inside and Out

 

Halloween Home Decorating Inside and Out with LilacsNDreams. Welcome to everyone visiting today!

Below you will see some pictures for how I have done some Halloween decorating inside our home. In those pictures are a couple of shots that show some of the bigger items that will be standing, or hanging outside too. I’m behind this year with decorating, but will get it done. It’s fun for us at home, but we so enjoy watching the reactions of the kids…some adults too with the decorations we do. It adds a little more to the holiday spirit of things.

Skeleton swinging, cemetery fencing, skeleton hands and heads, headstones, blow up Frankenstein, and more are for outside the house

This is a side view of our headless man holding an animated pumpkin, and he’s holding an axe too which will be standing outside as well too

I also wanted to note that as of yesterday my niece had invited me to one of her vender fairs she will be attending. I figured I would be helping like I have before. This time she suggested I bring some of my things along to offer too. So, I’m excited as we will have 2 booths side by side, and between our products we will have a variety of things to offer. She does shirts, keychains, bags for kids, and other kid items too. So, with all the handmade, and repurposed upcycled items offered it should be fun too!

Thanks for visiting with LilacsNDreams today! Have a great day! Be safe, and see you again soon. 

Halloween Home Decor Preparations Outside Decorating

 

Halloween Home Decor Preparations Outside Decorating with LilacsNDreams. 

Welcome Everyone visiting with LilacsNDreams today! Seasons are changing, Fall is here, and along with this comes my favorite holidays too. We usually decorate quite a bit outside the home for Halloween. Last year we had a spider that was activation sensored. When you walked up to the porch stairs he would jump at you. Many of the kids enjoyed, and we had some parents want to video tape it in action too. We had a scarecrow that sat in the chair with the bowl of candy for the trick or treaters who stopped by. When your hand went into the bowl to get candy his head came up, and he briefly spoke. We also had a sensored ghost that hung at top of stairs. So much fun watching reactions from kids, and the adults too. 

This year with the new house we moved into we will be using these same things along with a few other things we have purchased too. Our porch is longer, we have bushes in front and along side of house. We also have the fenced back yard that we can do lights with that too. We have a headless man with an axe held above that stands about 7 1/2 feet, and holding a pumpkin that is sensored with 3 phrases. Bushes on side of house will have the headstones in them with skeleton heads, and hands coming out of the ground. We also have a skeleton that sits on a swing that will be hanging from the porch too. Oh, and we have a blowup Frankenstein we are anxious to see too.

Our property is on a corner lot with more yardage for the decorating, and fun that we enjoy having. So, today we have containers in the living room separated for outside, and inside decorating. Tomorrow I will determine what things will be used for decorating in the home, put containers away not used, and then I will have to get some nails to use with hanging lights, and things on the porch. Weather looks to be good, and I’m excited for this too. 

Hope this finds everyone doing well. Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Take care, be safe, and see you all again soon. Toodles . . . . . .

Halloween Decor House Decorating Tis The Season

Halloween Decor House Decorating Tis The Season with LilacsNDreams. 

I truly like this time of year! The festivities, the gatherings, celebrations, decorating, and all the fun that 

comes with it too. I know this year is gonna be different for many, but I intend to do the best I can to enjoy this time with family, and friends.

If I haven’t mentioned it already our son is home from the service after serving 8 years. Now, with that said I will also comment it’s been that long since he really enjoyed celebrating holidays too. So, this year will be good starting with Halloween. I will say it is nice to have someone here to help me a little more with some of this too.

Ok, all the pictures below here are from one side of the house front till the other. The last picture captures how it looks at night.

There are 2 items missing that will be added on Halloween night. Sitting by the door will be a scarecrow holding a bowl of candy with his head down. Now, when you reach for a candy his head pops up, and he gives you a slight scare with the noise he makes. Also, that night we’ll have the left part of the porch blocked that you can’t see on the porch. In that corner will be a sensored spider that jumps out at ya. We need him to be back in the corner so he doesn’t attack anyone...LOL!

Enjoying the season, and having fun too.

 

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Have fun, be safe, and see you next time. Take care everyone! Toodles . . .

 

Handmade Upcycled Restyled Repurposed Halloween Decor

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Last day of September, and into October we go. Kind of exciting time of year don’t you think? We are into Fall for the season, and now we have holidays for the rest of the year. 

Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. Sadly, each year with retail things are pushed onto us faster, and faster. We hadn’t even gotten to the end of September, and already Christmas was being stocked or was pretty much stocked. That part is a little disturbing because we are losing out on the fun of things, and making memories for these times. 

So, anyway I’m trying to focus on Halloween. I have been crafting for Halloween. Got my pumpkins done with the splatter guards. I had scraps of Halloween material I had picked up. I was gonna get some cheap toilet paper to make these little pumpkins, but I did something different. I had collected a few empty toilet paper rolls. I used those to group together for the pumpkin bodies, and for their stems. I only used a little glue for the burlap wrap done for the stems. The material, and the leaves were all tucked in tightly to places, and have been holding pretty good. 

I started decorating a little bit on the front porch for Halloween. When it quits raining I’ll be able to get some pictures to show to all of you. 

I appreciate everyone stopping by to visit with Me at LilacsNNDreams! Thank You! Hope to see you all again soon.

Fall Halloween Home Decor That’s Handmade Repurposed Restyled and DIY

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Everyone! Glad you stopped by! 

Below you will see pictures of things I have been working on within the past couple days that I have completed. Excuse the order of the pictures as me, and my IPad are not getting along tonight. I am showing you pictures of before, or close to it. Then, you are seeing the completed projects too. The little fall tree below is made from a Dollar Tree plunger, some burlap, Dollar Tree leaves, a planter, some glue, and etc. 

Below were a couple of items I got from the Dollar Tree store. A witches hat with a purple Boo, and below it is some witches feet that also have purple, and black coloring too. Below this picture you will see the completed project where I attached the witches feet to the bottom of the hat.  

Below you will see my first time creation of making a pumpkin from splatter guards bought from the Dollar Tree store. This picture is the completion, and below this picture you will see a picture showing the guards connected, painted, and before the leaves and ribbon had been added.

Below is a picture of my light post outside our front door. I added a little fall decor to that with Dollar Tree leaf vine, and in the pot some Dollar Tree fall flowers, and a couple of gores too. The lights you see came with this light pole.

I had fun with these projects, and am anxious to do more too. But, first I need to get some more glue to work with.

Thank You for stopping by LilacsNDreams! Take care till the next time! Toodles....
