Spooktacular Haunted Ideas

Anyone getting in the crafty moody these days? I am... infact, I'm getting my hands dirty this evening carving pumpkins with the girls. Who doesn't love getting in that squishy slimy mess... it just screams Halloween. Last year the girls didn't even want to touch the insides of the pumpkin so we'll see how it goes this year.

I've been all excited about Halloween this year. When we lived in Italy the last 2 1/2 years we missed out on the festivities and trick-or-treating as they don't really celebrate it over there. Carnivale is their big dress up holiday.

We have our costumes (thanks the my niece Miss M) and we have our window clings up (I have some new ones for the girls to put up tonight). I bought some cool Halloween socks and some book for treat bags (because they get enough candy elsewhere I figured).

Anyways, I was checking my email and saw this cool idea in my inbox. On the CK blog, they have a cool tutorial on how to make a super cool haunted house out of scrapping paper. It's so cute, it's almost pretty! So what are you waiting for? Click on the pict to go to the link page! Happy crafting!

A Haunting We Will Go

I'm getting in the Halloween spirit these days. We bought our festive fall window clings and decorated the windows and hung our fall wreath up and all our Halloween cards are in the shop ready to announce your party just like this fun little invite:

I thought for our little Tips and Tricks Tuesday I would share some cute crafts for the kidlets to do. (Just click the titles for the links and how-tos)

Tin Can Frankenstein.

Ok, so this little guy is almost too cute to spook.

Juice Box Jack-O-Lantern

This is a fun way to use up some little juice boxes lying around. The would be really cute lined up in the window sill or a couple on a fireplace mantle.

Spooky Reading and Crafts Books:

My friend is an Usborne Dealer and this looks like a super fun book to try out for Halloween.

ETSY REVIEW ALERT!

Here's a little treasure every mom should have hidden in her bag.

KBExquisites Crayon Wallets

I bought one over a year ago and I have gotten so much use out of it I bought some for gifts for Christmas to friends' kids. My friends were so impressed with them. They thought they were cute and compact enough for their bags and they have a little loop so the kidlets can carry them all by themselves.

INCLUDED WITH THIS WALLET is a 3" x 5" doodle pad,8 crayola crayons AND two happy face star crayons to nestle in as a surprise bonus for your child. They are really cute.



Whenever I'd take the kids with me for coffee it was the first thing we put on the table and the kids would be busy colouring or drawing for a good half and hour... long enough for mom to enjoy a good cup of Italian cappucino!They come in a lot of great colours too. I bought a mermaid one for a friend and a dump truck one for another friend. My girls got a Little Mermaid Limited Edition one with a princess crayon in it.

KBExquisites makes these really cute AND durable because we all know how hard kids can be on toys etc. Be sure to check out their Etsy Shop for other great gift ideas!
