Thanks for saying Hi, I truly appreciate your comments. I just checked out your applesauce jack-o-lanterns and flashlight mummies - SO darling! I am totally going to use them (I hope you don't mind). And I also love the witches broom treat bags - great idea!

jack-o-lantern puzzle favors - TUTORIAL

Today I am sharing a fun, easy, inexpensive, AND sugar-free party favor that the kiddos can help make. I know I have gone on, and on before about how grateful I am that my son's preschool encourages parents to hand out sugar free items as party favors, but really, I... Continue reading

it's the little things that count

It is funny how life works sometimes. Just when you think your world is spinning out of control, something reels you back in - reminding you how important the little things are. Tonight, as I was frantically sewing last minute trunk-or-treat party favors, I pulled out this "shelf" (for lack... Continue reading

Kara, sorry for the confusion about the backing, I didn't make double sided cards. For the sake of time and money I opted to leave them white. If you wanted to attach a backing, I think a little rubber cement between the two layers would work great.

halloween concentration game DIY

Every Halloween my son's preschool does "trunk-or-treat," where the kids go around to the parents' cars and get their goodies. The teachers ask that we give out non-candy items (which I think is great). So this year I decided to have a little fun with it and make my own.... Continue reading
