Now, finally, we are officially in the fall. Halloween is a big deal around here and we are celebrating the cooler, beautiful weather with a price drop! Knowing things have been tough for a while, McMurtry Creative Media wants to help you out. We just dropped the price of A Harvest and Halloween Handbook II eBook on Amazon. We were at the bookstore the other day, checking out holiday magazines. Not only where there not many selections but honestly, they were not as cool and packed with fun as this eBook (and the others cost more.) Yes, I know I’m biased but I have a B.F.A. so I know good art when I see it 😉 There are dozens of party plans, DIY recipes, decor, activities, costume ideas, and everything you need to have a happy Halloween. Grab your copy today and enjoy a stroll through Halloween fun and adventure.
My Pinterest pins are buzzing with over 79,000 views in the last 30 days. And I’ve been busy adding decor to McMurtry Manor, here are a few new things and some golden oldies. These are my top pins on Pinterest right now, I’ll adjust as you let me know what you want to see.
Happy Halloween!

Here are a couple of new projects going on at the manor. We moved in about a year ago and I haven’t gotten to all the finishing touches yet. I am planning a gallery wall but for now our family photos are resting on this mantle. I’m thinking of changing out the frame on the family portrait and adding a few Halloween touches – will update!
I don’t know why, but for a while I’ve been wanting to dress up this metal form for Halloween – that creative spirit I guess. She’s in the garage waiting ’til we get a little closer to Halloween for her debut.
Batty started Halloween as a Dollar Store bat and got a reboot with black gauze, frayed-edge satin ribbon and button eyes.
This bat ended up on the fireplace. There are 6 of them in the house.
The Silly Old Cats came in from the cold and are snuggled on a rag garland.
In Wonderland, the crazy tea party is underway. I love how Halloween is a holiday free from the constraints of things like good taste!
