    $10 DIY Spooky Halloween Mantel

    I don’t know if it’s quarantine and Covid or if I’ve just fully embraced the holiday, but this is the first year I’ve decorated for Halloween.

This was our first time going and it was awesome. Most of the city buildings, shops, and restaurants hand out candy and it’s neat to see all the other kids’ costumes.  Excited by something other than a tootsie roll. I’m with ya kid.
