15 Tricks to Treat Your Halloween, Design Dining and Diapers

Pin It Hi Everyone! I'm delighted to be participating in Katie's Halloween Series this year! What a fun way to gather inspiration for the upcoming holiday.

 
In case we've never met, I'm Taryn from Design, Dining + Diapers. A place where I share a little bit of everything but mainly DIY Projects, Craft Tutorials and allergy friendly recipes! I live in the Pacific Northwest with my hubby, 18 month old Baby Girl and our spunky Golden Retriever! I love the outdoors, coffee, baking, spending time with friends and family and watching Reality TV!
Today, I'm getting in the Halloween spirit by sharing an easy way to spruce up your porch or mantle with these Illuminated Ghost Garland.
