That Time When Country Living Magazine Called Me the Queen of Halloween Decorating

  • Jennifer Perkins with one of her many Halloween themed Christmas trees.

You guys I’m over here hyperventilating into a brown bag – Country Living Magazine just referred to me as the “Queen of Halloween Decorating”.  I can die a happy woman, drop the microphone and X something off my bucket list.  Wow what an honor.  Pop over and read the article and take a tour of my digs through the years.  Before you go let me give you a quick teaser of a few things they mentioned.

One of the topics Country Living mentioned in the article is a subject I am especially happy to raise awareness about – The Teal Pumpkin Project.  I’ve got a kiddo with a peanut allergies so the more teal pumpkins and candy free things being handed out to trick-or-treaters the better!  Check out my post 10 Ideas for Crafting the Perfect Teal Pumpkin This Halloween for all kinds of inspiration like vampires!

Candy corn tree decorated with witches for Halloween by Jennifer Perkins

Everyone’s favorite Halloween tree is always my candy corn tree and I think it might be the favorite over at Country Living too.  I don’t blame them, it is pretty awesome and more versatile than you might think.  This year I’ve given the tree a witch theme complete with DIY Black Cat (that is a sponsored post, I am the brand ambassador for Treetopia) and Witchy Woman Ornaments you can make yourself.

I love Halloween so dang much I once dedicated an entire gallery wall to it and Country Living took notice.  These days in the autumn I sprinkle the pictures of medusa, kids in felt masks, candy corn marquee lights , Halloween scrapbook pages and more around the house.  The editors also took notice of my gold and black ombre tree. (That was a sponsored post – I am the brand ambassador for Treetopia)  This year it’s plural – I have two!
