Monday
Let's start the week with a quick and easy recipe and one that will come in very handy as we slowly grow closer and closer to the spookiest month of the year.
Today we're making a super quick and easy Pumpkin Spice mix!
All you need is 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cloves and 1/2 a teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Mix all ingredients together and store in a air-tight container for up to 6 months. Which is more than enough time to use it before Halloween! :D

Tuesday
Your next project for this week is another quick and easy make. You could easily make this in under an hour but use it for years to come.
All you need is a semi-circle door may, white fabric paint and a brush! Oh and some scissors or a cutting knife to cut a web shape around the edge as today we're making a Spiderweb Doormat!
Find out all the details right here.

Wednesday
I absolutely love todays make and once again it's easy, easy, easy!
All you need today are some old frames (charity stores will be your friend on this one), silver spray paint and some old pictures/ghost print-outs.
Spray the inside of the glass until its around 60% visible and then place your image inside and that's it! Once hung the picture looks more likely a ghostly mirror.
You can find out more details on all the steps right here. This make would be perfect if you're planning a Haunted Mansion themed party this year too.

It might feel like Halloween is still such a long time away but it will be here in no time!

Saturday
It's the weekend and so we're going to settle down with a documentary today and what better documentary to watch than The American Scream!
This documentary follows three families in Massachusetts who go all out every single year for Halloween. They create the most amazing home haunts that anyone can visit during October and the way they put everything together really is eye opening and such a fascinating watch.
If you love Halloween then you will LOVE this! I actually wanted more once it ended as I enjoyed it so much. You can currently check this out on Amazon Prime here in the UK and it's also available to download from Itunes.

The final make for this week are these quick and easy paper pumpkins. These are able to free-stand so you can place them around the house this Autumn as an easy seasonal decoration or add string to the stems and hang them around the home too?
You can find out all the details on how to make these little cuties right here.
