All Things Halloween

Yay Helen!!! I'm excited. Let us know when you're ready to start compiling the address list.

Yay. Now the find the perfect cards

^^Hee hee...I'm waiting for the October edition of the Martha Stewart Living mag for card ideas.

Haha I'm super cheap. I look at every single dollar store since I have to buy one for so many people that I wait until I find the perfect one that screams me and I get it. Or I will find the occasional card that screams the other person and I buy them that special card. I think last year I did serperate ones for different people.

I'll start the thread within the next couple of days when I'm away from that accursed place called work.

I still have your skeleton hanging proudly from my freezer and I still play about with his arms and legs

^^Hee hee!

Adorable little ghost charm!

I was looking around for things to whip up and I found the cutest ideas for desserts.
Now I just need a party to go to so I can share these items but I never go anywhere for halloween.
But maybe I'll make goodie baskets
Mummy dogs
Pudding.
Candy corn.
Skelaton cupcakes.

The mummy pigs in a blanket look funny.

I just love this holiday... I think it brings out the best in all of us.

I'm hoping I get to join a few friends this year instead of staying at home. I might just insist I join up with friends because Halloween is just too fun to be alone.

Each year I create a life-sized sugar skull for the season of Day of the Dead, All Soul's and All Saint's Day.

I'll take it to the courtyard at church and place it amongst the flowers, candles and prayer cards at the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary along with the vast contributions of others in our parish community.

This year though, I've decided to offer it as a 'thank you' gift to a couple opening their home for a Halloweentime fundraiser dinner event I'll be attending.

I've never given one away like this before so I'm hoping they'll like it...!

^^^ I've always wanted to try sugar skulls. I'll love you forever if you tell me how to make them...

How does one make a sugar skull? (Yeah, I know, I can just look it up.)

I would but the icing would probably melt off haha.
I really hope that I'm not too lazy and make some this year.

Speaking of Sugar Skulls...

I can't wait.... I swear as soon as you post this I'm going to try to make them..... Hurry hurry.... The suspense is killing me.

Home Goods and Marshalls had sooooo much decorative Halloween stuff! Too bad I'm broke.

Keep an eye on flyers in the Sunday papers. I found coupons for 40% off items at Michael's and JoAnn's.
