Stacey has been sharing her excitement for Halloween with her over 6 million followers since the start of autumn.

The mum-of-five took to her Stories on Sunday to share a meal that gets the entire family into the spirit.

“Make Spooky Skeleton Pizza with me,” read the caption over the video.

Stacey used a knife to carve a skeleton-like expression into several mushrooms before spreading tomato sauce on wrap bread.

She sprinkled cheese on top before decoratively placing the mushrooms and putting the pizza in the oven to bake.

“Rex & Rose loved these so much,” she said.

“They’re just wraps with tomato sauce and cheese and a couple of mushrooms but they thought they were hilarious.

“I love Sundays.”

Stacey shared a photo of the impressive 4-ingredient pizza before spending the rest of the day working on her vegetable patch alongside her kids.

Despite Halloween not being until 31st October, she has been embracing spooky traditions weeks in advance.

She gushed about the Halloween Door being one of her favourites as she loves seeing her kids get “excited” when they come home from school.

A short video uploaded showed Pickle Cottage covered in red roses, gold skeletons and pumpkins.

“Literally so proud of this year's door, made from branches I scavenged off the side of the road, a cauldron I made from a bucket [laughing], skeletons I’ve collected over the years (other than Shazza on the door she’s new) And some pumpkins from our neighbour farmer Scott!” Stacey said.

WHILE some might be waiting for Mariah Carey to slowly defrost, I couldn’t care less that Christmas is less than 100 days away.

Has everyone forgotten that there are less than 50 sleeps until the best holiday of the year?

I’ve long preferred Halloween to Christmas and spend most of the year mourning the loss of spooky season.

Not that I don’t find ways to include it into my year.

In April I marked the halfway point to the best day of the year with a ‘half-o-ween’ picnic in a cemetery (where else?). Come July I needed to get my fix again and hosted a ‘Summerween’ barbecue complete with watermelon carving and Piña Ghoul-adas.

Christmas fanatics are often horrified by my snowy-season snub, but for me December is just a slew of stress and overspending.

I don’t know about you but wracking my brains for bigger and better present ideas and spending four times the amount of time and money at the supermarket is not my idea of a good time.

With Halloween there is no expectation to spend. Homemade costumes are often head and tails above the ones sold in the shops and when it comes to decorations what is better than a carved pumpkin that can cost just pennies to achieve?

In January kids return to school bragging about what Santa brought them this year, all with the hope of outdoing each other but November 1st is a different story.

Trick or treating is fair through and through. Unless you’re bribing the neighbours, children all receive the same, and whatsmore for free, eliminating any playground bragging rights.

Above all I love the chaos over curation when it comes to Halloween. There’s no obligation to strive for perfection, in fact the rule is the sillier the better. It’s all the childhood nostalgia of Christmas but without the pressure.

So spare me the Christmas spirit, I’ll opt for a fully fledged ghost any day.

“And the best front door friend ever @emlouflowers who is as crazy as me & she’s my partner in crime in helping me make what’s in my head come to life.”

Stacey said she didn’t need any excuses to start Halloween early, although this year decorations went up in September because they were hosting an event. 

Fans praised the decor and revealed they were eager to recreate it for themselves.

“Incredible Stacey, your children will remember every Halloween,” one person said.

“Love it, you’ve done a brilliant job! Making me want to decorate my door now but I’m not allowed until October,” another commented.

“Well this is just everything! Gothic/Romantic Halloween vibes are the one!!!!” a third wrote.
