This year, I decided to do a lot of Halloween decorations in my office to decorate it up for the season since I've been working from home and I wanted to change up my environment. I spooked up my bookshelves, the walls, and other areas to tie in the room. I got most of the stuff from Amazon, Target, and Michael's, but I mention where I got what in the video.find me around town!business: lainey.kress@gmail.comblog/website: lrkress.wordpress.comtwitter: twitter.com/readalongLaineyinstagram: http://instagram.com/gingerreadslaineygoodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/gingerreadslaineypinterest: pinterest.com/gingerreadslain8tracks: http://8tracks.com/gingerreadslainey/mixestumblr: http://gingerreadslainey.tumblr.comMusic used in this video is from epidemicsound.com
