I LOVE it! Our decorations are a little more tame, as Tess gets creeped out pretty easily. I hope you will be having a party to show off how awesome your house is right now.
Hi Everyone! The rat is just plastic. The lighting is a string of orange lights with a garland of orange silk leaves over them. It makes a cool glow. Noah is a little freaked out by the Martha Washington portrait hanging above the fireplace. He swears she watches him everywhere he goes. Hehehe! I'm not planning a party, but I'm letting Autumn take all of the indoor stuff to Kevin's (boyfriend) house for a party they are having on Halloween.
Hey Sharon, your squirrel is so.... darn cute! And your cats are hilarious! I just had to let you know:)
Hi Molly, That's how I find most of my stuff... the portrait, the candle stick, the glass jars. Oh and I bought some cheese cloth, tea dyed it and ripped it up to make the mantel scarf. A small amount of cob webs for the finishing touch. Good luck!
Oh, what an awesome scene you've set. We have an October birthday in my house and we are doing a "haunted house" and "seance" next weekend. You've given me some inspiration. Thanks!!

Welcome!
Hello!~Aaniin! ~Bonjour!
I'm a homeschooling mom with 3 kids. The two oldest have graduated from homeschool. Our oldest now owns her own Photography business. Our middle son is in college studying
Culinary Arts and the youngest son age 11 is an Interest Led Homeschooler, who loves history! and this is our family's homeschool journal... The Purple Squirrel.
We are an Ojibwe/French family and we love to celebrate our heritage, learning the language, customs and honoring our ancestors.
We travel about our lives on planet Earth and learn from every place, every person and every situation we happen upon. I like to refer to us as Earth Learners.
We read, write, discover, roam the woods, sleep in late, if we feel like it. We cook and do chores. We love to learn about different cultures and our elder brothers (the animals and the plants.) My job as homeschooling mom is to trust. Trust my kids will grow into intelligent, caring, responsible adults.
Fingers crossed! ~

Are you sure you aren't a set designer.. the glow... very twilight feeling!
Now that is just fun! I have never been into decorating like that but I always think it is fun when other people do.
Oh, what an awesome scene you've set. We have an October birthday in my house and we are doing a "haunted house" and "seance" next weekend. You've given me some inspiration. Thanks!!
Thanks Gwen, No, but I'd sure love to be a set designer!
