My blood pressure will be elevated until it is over.
If it were really up to me, I would love to decorate - it's just the time it takes to make good decorations that I don't have that makes it stressful. I predict I will spend a lot of time looking up ideas, day dreaming, and then will end up buying some decorations that really aren't so cute or spooky...Anyways, I'm still in the researching phase, so I thought I'd share a few fun websites with DIY ideas that I have found for decorations:
Here are some ideas on ivillage with candy garlands, black hanging spiders, etc.:

I loved the ideas on this blog, but they might take me a year to make:
And this one has fun, simple ideas with great pictures:
I just love looking, and procrastinating the actual doing.

I found this one years ago and I do it every year cause it's so simple but adds so much. Take large black garbage bags and cut them open (cut down one side , and across the bottom). Then cut 2- 3 inch strips all the way across (leave 3 or 4 inches uncut at the top so they all stay together). Then gently stretch each strip about every 6 inches. Then hang them in a door way or line the edge of a table with a bunch of them. Once I put them near the ceiling all the way around my living room (it was a small room).
