What Do These Things Have In Common?

These are the beginnings of my Halloween 2012 crafting supplies. The wood will soon be transformed into the "Dead and Breakfast" sign I have had on my to-do list ever since I first saw the idea in a BH&G Halloween magazine in 2010. This is the year!

Then, I saw some "eerie" magnifiers and have been on the hunt for inexpensive magnifying glasses ever since. I found these at Wal-Mart and was happy that they were only 99 cents each. I want to see if I can find a few more that are smaller and/or larger and/or different in some way. Thought these would look good nestled in a few of my vignettes.

And then for the bottles.... I am still not sure what I am going to end up doing with them. Actually have 3 or 4 different ideas including this one.

This bottle is actually one of my most pinned pins. Almost every day I get an e-mail or 2 telling me more people have pinned it. It currently stands at 359 repins and 49 likes. It wasn't really my first choice for a craft this year but I'm wondering if all those people know something I don't. I seem to be collecting so many wine bottles (no, I'm not emptying them all by myself. I have the word out) that I might have a go at all of the wine bottle Halloween ideas floating around Pinterest.

All I know is that I am chomping at the bit to get going. Stay tuned.
