Jazzy Jack O' Lanterns

To get you all in the Spooky Spirit for Halloween, here are our carved pumpkins. The one on the left is a witch, the next has WSU and a cow (my friend lives at the WSU Beef Center!), a pair of creepy eyes, a very dimly-lit skeleton, and last, my favorite, my Michael Myers silhoutte, from the Halloween movies!

There are more great ideas over on Tip Junkie's "Talk to me Tuesday" -- go check it out!!

Halloween Gift

Isn't it cute? I sent this out to relatives for Halloween. This is a covered chocolate bar, an idea taken from Crafts 'n Things Magazine, quite possibly the best craft magazine out there -- I highly recommend it to anyone!

To do this, just take the outside wrapper off (leave the foil cover on), wrap with burlap (found on the bolt for cheap at Walmart), print/stamp the "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" saying, and I added a tri-jack o'lantern stamp on top! Then simply back with scrapbook paper and attach using ribbon! Ta-da!

Get the "Creative Juice" Flowing!

Hi all!

I'm totally new to this whole blog thing, but I'm totally into crafting... which as you all know needs plenty of inspiration and new ideas!

In preparation for the 2008 Holiday season, I really hope for this to be a place to share ideas, tutorials, great gift/decor links, etc!

Let's get crafty!!!!
