Halloween Bag

I don't have a little girl to make this for (and there is no way I am going to tempt myself with all the sugar this bag would create), but if I had a little girl I would make her one of these. They are oh so cute. I pinned this from the eighteen25 girls.

Have a Happy Halloween with all your kiddos.

Halloween (craft) Horribles

Ohh, when crafts go wrong. In my head I had these cute little witches hat all planed out. But then, as I continued to craft these horrifying hats came out. I got so depressed that I gave up on them. Now they haunt my craft room with other crafts gone wrong as proof that not all things are meant to be.

The one in the front isn't so bad. I might finish it.....if I don't get to scared by its evil cousin.

Paper Garland and Wall Art {Halloween}

 
This is my first go around for Halloween decorating and since I didn't want to go to over board (this year) I decided to limit my self to wall art.

Almost every came from a 118 page packet of seasonal paper (and yes I will be doing similar things with it for other holidays). Apart from that I used a stamp, twine and hot glue.

Happy Halloween,

Little Witches Big Night

I remember my mom reading this with me when I was little. It is a story about a good little witch that becomes friends with the trick-or-treaters. I highly recommend it.

I have heard of some people don't like Halloween because they feel it celebrates evil things. I think it is a matter of perspective though. For-example, when I dressed up for Halloween as a witch I certainly wasn't making a connection to the devil or demons. I thought of all the fun things a witch could do, like making caramel apples appear, being able to blink my room clean and flying on a broom stick. A witches power came from genetics not some evil deal with the devil. No, I won't be letting my kids dress up as things from horror movies, but innocent ghosts, super heroes, cow boys, princesses and good little witches will parade out my front door one day. Why?, because I enjoy the creative, odd, unushual, and creepy (have you seen some spiders) things of this world every now and then.

Have a Happy Halloween!

Halloween Fun Packages

A week ago I sent off three Halloween Care packages. Just some little things to inspire some Halloween fun (and decorating).

Each one was a little different but here is what went in this one to my TX Parents and my Sister's family.

Halloween Oreos- For brother-in-law (he thinks they taste better than normal oreos)
Stamps- for my sister because she likes to make cards and doesn't eat sugar and my mom because she is uber crafty.
Play-dough- For the two year-old nephew because he will like it and hi mom will not be happy if I give him sugar.
Candy Corn -For my mom because she loves them
Pumpkin money- For my dad because he is the best pumpkin carver I know.
Sugar cookie mix and Halloween cookie-cutters because it is tradition to do knock-and-runs. It is such a tradition that my mom even sent me a Halloween Knock-and-Run kit. (we think alike)

Have a Happy Halloween Month.
