The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

Hey, Readers.  That time of year has arrived again.  No, I'm not talking about Christmas.  Stay where you are, fat man.  I'm talking about Spooky Season.  To celebrate, I wanted to share with you a new sims 4 CAS background that I just downloaded.

The background is called Vampire's Study.  It was created by thatonegreenleaf.  Here's what it looks like.  FYI, I did not create the sim that's featured in this image.  This is from the content creator's patreon.

The best part about this background is the mirror.  It allows you to see the back of your sim without having to rotate them.  If you want this spooky CAS background for yourself, just click on the creator's name and it will take you straight to her patreon page.

Skelly Haul

Hey, readers.  It's the mist of Halloween season.  Haven't made it to any of the big stores to check out what they have.  But I did manage to snag some spooky things from other places.  Let's start off with the dollar store finds.

Here's a cute little sugar skull that I got from Dollar General.  There's a switch at the bottom that you can flip to make it light up.  The color of the light varies.

From the Family Dollar store down the street, I picked up this large sugar skull that you can either hang on the wall or from the ceiling.

For drug store finds, I got this pack of Jack Skellington garland from the Rite Aid.  Also located down the street.  I didn't have to go far for most of these. XD Will probably use the garland to decorate one of my shelves.

Now for the biggie.  Besides outdoor decorations, you don't normally think of Home Depot when it comes to Halloween stuff.  But behold!  The Jack Skellington Waddler.  Push his hand and he waddles.

Adorable!  I'll probably post a short video on instagram that shows how he moves.  That concludes my skelly haul.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my Ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT" and in my profile.

Peek-a-Boo

Hey, readers.  Wanted to share with you another one of my spooky finds.  Came across these flowers at Dollar Tree.

Not crazy about the spiders.  Those are definitely getting cut off.  After I do that, I need to find a nice vase to put them in.

This is.....

Hey, readers.  Halloween season is now upon us.  Here's an affordable way to goth up your shopping experience.  While out hunting for spooky items or running general errands, use Halloween themed reusable shopping bags.  These can be found in stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Home Goods.

Besides the cool designs, the best part about these bags is that they only cost 99 cents.  So, stock up!  Here's my small collection of skelly bags.  Regular readers of my blog will probably recognize the 2 larger bags from previous posts.  Originally, I was going to cut them up and frame them as art.  But I changed my mind and decided to use them for their intended purpose.

Netflix and Chills

Happy Halloween!  Hope your night will be filled with treats and spooks.  As for me, I'll be spending my night watching the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on netflix.  I watched the first 2 episodes over the weekend.  Even though the message of female empowerment seemed heavy-handed in some scenes, the series is pretty good so far.

Here's a little diddy to get you in the Halloween spirit.  Til next time.

Halloween Hunt

Hey, readers.  Popping in to recommend a facebook page to check out.  It's called Hill House.  The page is run by Sarah Hill.  She's a collector of Halloween stuff and does reviews of items that she finds at stores and online.

So, if you're looking for spooky home decor, I suggest giving Hill House a follow.  Til next time.

This is Halloween!

Hey, readers.  Happy Halloween!  I'm going to be spending it munching on candy corn and binge-watching season 2 of Stranger Things.  What about you?  How will you be spending Halloween?

Let me know in the comments.  Til next time.

Mo Jewelry, Mo Skulls

Hey, readers.  Happy Halloween Month.  I was actually productive this week.  Finished up my project for this month's Craft Along with GIY theme, and made 2 pairs of earrings.  Won't be posting any pics of my project til the end of the month.

So, you'll have to settle for some earring pics instead. =D I made the first pair to go with a necklace that I made for a previous Craft Along theme.

Then, I made these to go with the other black/black and white earrings that I already have.

I also got another 99 cent reusable bag.  This time from Marshalls.  Still haven't figured out if I want to hang them in frames or on canvas yet.  

Til next time.

You Skelly?

Hey, readers.  Been pretty chill around here for the past few weeks.  Anyway, I got some new goodies for my bedroom that I wanted to show off.  The first is this reusable shopping bag from Home Goods.  It only costs 99 cents.

The plan is to cut out the design and either frame it or apply it to a piece of canvas and add to it.  Not sure about what to add.  Maybe a glaze.  I have no idea.  But I'll come up with something.

The other thing that I got was a set of sugar skull lights from Rite-Aid.

I'll probably string these along the top of the mirror on the other dresser in my room.  That's it for skull and tell.  Til next time.

Getting There

Hey, readers.  Just wanted to give a little update on how my bedroom is coming along.  Instead of painting the entire room, my mother and I settled on just painting the back wall.  This time, I went with a darker shade of grey instead of a light/silvery grey.  Then, we hung the Bob Macabre prints and Halloween sign.

Once that was done, we decided to add some height to my Trick or Treat sign.

Since I still had some contact paper leftover, we wrapped a spare cardboard box with it and placed it on top of the dresser.  There was plenty of room for the sign, Jack and my new spooky tree.  Speaking of the tree, I got some good news and bad news.  First the bad news.  I wasn't able to fit any of my necklaces on it.

However, my ring and bracelets fit on it perfectly.

Til next time.

Frames and Spooky Goodies

Hey, readers.  In my last blog post, I talked about how my dresser and lamp shade got damaged during the move to the new apartment.  Along with those, the frames containing my Bob Macabre prints also got messed up.  The glass from both frames were smashed to pieces.  But thankfully, the prints were still intact.

I got some new frames last week, and spent yesterday putting the prints in them.

I was able to save the tissue paper that I had used in the old frames.  However, I came across a minor problem.  The print on the right used to be in a smaller frame.  With that one, the green tissue paper in the center was enough to cover the backing that came with it.  To cover up the exposed cardboard box brown backing of the new frame, I got out some more tissue paper and came up with this random pattern.

While I was doing that, my mother had returned from running errands.  During her run, she had stopped in a thrift store and got me a couple of Halloween-themed items to go with my dark bedroom decor.

When she showed them to me, I squeed with delight.  My favorite out of the two was the tree.  It looked like something I might be able to hang my necklaces off of. That would help with making some more room in my small jewelry box.  Til next time.

Minor Touch-Up

Hey, readers.  Welcome back to Aji's Decorating Corner.  If you read my previous post, you'll know that I recently moved.  Most of my bedroom furniture made it here in one piece.  The only items that took some damage were the shade on my small lamp and my dresser.

In this post, I'll be focusing on the dresser.  When it was being moved, some of the black paint on it got scrapped off and some white paint also got scrapped onto it.  I honestly have no idea how the white paint got there.  Originally, I was going to get some black paint and touch-up the damage.  However, after taking a step back and looking at it, I saw that the dresser now had a cool distressed look.

So, I decided to leave the front and sides as is.  However, the top of the dresser just looks like a cat scratched it up.

The good news about where I'm living is that there's a dollar store right down the street.  So, I went there and picked up a roll of patterned contact paper.

The edges of the paper didn't come out as neatly as I wanted.  Maybe I could use washi tape to cover those parts up.  Or something else.  An idea will come to me sooner or later.

For now, the top of the dresser has been taken care of. Next on the to-do list is finally getting around to replacing the old drawer pulls with the glass ones that I got for Christmas.  Til next time.
