This third book in the series contains a variety of different Halloween ideas. I love coming up with fun new ideas for Halloween, and enjoyed putting this book together! When working on one of my decorating books, I first write my ideas down in a notebook when I think of them. Then, when the Halloween season is close, I choose my favorites and create some of the projects. After each project is completed, I photograph them and edit the photos. After I have all the images, I design my cover and then start creating my book!

I spend a lot of time on the graphic design and of course - the descriptions. I decided to add a new section to this book - a Halloween costume/makeup section for men and women! Since this was something new, I only created 5 different looks. I usually pride myself with doing everything in my books myself, but decided to have my brother photograph the models in the costume section. I also collaborated with a few different makeup artists to bring my costume makeup ideas to life. I was really happy to have such talented people working with me, so I can't take credit for all of the makeup looks, but did do the makeup for the sorceress and phantom costume looks.
