Hello everyone! I have to show you what I have been up to. With Halloween right around the corner, I needed to get my decorations up. Last year I created a doozie project using files from ScrappyDew. All these files can be bought on the website. It was a mantel project. Here is what I came up with.

| These stored great and look fantastic! |
This year I wanted to make the illusion of floating candles like in the first Harry Potter movie when the kids walk into the great hall. I wanted to create floating candles to decorate my windows. What to use????? I had bought battery operated Halloween candles last year at Costco. So how in the heck could I get them to look like they are floating??? Here is what I came up with.

| Plastic clear soap dishes from Walmart!!! |
I bought 8 of these at Walmart. I always have a fall cleaning. (getting ready for decorating for the holidays) So I got out the window cleaning supplies and washed all the windows inside and out. Now to the decorating. I put one soap dish in each of my street facing windows. Set a candle in each one. Here are the daylight pics.

So now to see if they look good at night. Of course, I had to wait until it got dark outside. I don't take the best photos outside but you can see the effect.

Now I know that it's not like the great hall. But I think it turned out pretty snazzy. The younger kids in the neighborhood will get a kick out of this. Hope I have inspired you to think outside of the box this Halloween. Until Saturday....
Great Idea using the soap dishes!! :)
