Holiday accomplishment

Last August I was shopping at Kirklands when I saw this framed Halloween art. 

I instantly loved it.  But I refuse to pay full price for anything and I refuse to buy Halloween decorations when it's 112 degrees outside.  I like to wait until early October when it's only 102 degrees outside.

 

I was positive that it would be gone by the time October rolled around but I took a gamble and walked away.  I kept checking on it through September.  And then I kind of forgot about it.  Until the week before Halloween.  Then I was pleasantly surprised to find that they still had it in stock and it was 50% off.  Of course I bought it and I brought it home knowing just where to put it....in the little arched nook in the entryway by the front door. 

 

And thus began my quest to find a holiday themed piece of art for each of the major holidays to hang in the arched nook.  The 4th of July was the last holiday I needed, since I started at Halloween last year.  I was pretty successful too.  The only holiday I didn't find was New Year's Day because I didn't even look for that one.  I just printed some pinterest art and used sticky tack to display it on top of the framed print we had hanging in the nook.  I also succeded in breaking the glass in doing so.  I still haven't decided if I'm going to get new glass or just keep it broken to use for New Year's every year.  Time will tell.
