Halloween: What to Craft and Cook for a Spooky Good Time
Boo!
Did I scare you? I hope not, because I’ve got some wonderful holiday posts to share with you. You’ve got just over two weeks to pack in all of the Halloween goodness that your house can handle. Here are a few of my favorite ideas for crafting and cooking up some spooky fun....
CRAFTS
Ghostly Handprints from Becky at The Crafting Chicks
My favorite thing about this project? Even the handprint from the wiggliest kid makes an adorable ghost. That’s what a I like, a craft that is low pressure.

A round of applause for a woman that not only has the ability but the creativity to bring it on Halloween.
