Halloween Money Club: Greenbacks for Ghouls
Ah, another glorious Halloween season has come and gone. I've wiped the drool off my after-Halloween sale items, packed away my tattered ghosts, vultures and other props back into their yearlong resting places, sadly making my house and driveway look like everyone else’s on my street - sickeningly normal. I grab the stack of photos from this last year's Halloween yard decorations I had processed almost seconds after taking them. I lay back in my chair to revel in the thrill my decorated yard always gives me until I think of how it could be better. I think back ...Trick or Treat Mummy Candy Bone

Most people enjoy setting out jack-o-lanterns during Halloween, but carving a pumpkin takes time, skill and lots of patience. Kids enjoy getting the pumpkins ready, too, but they are rarely able to carve them. Put away those knives and forget about the pumpkin goo with this Halloween craft. Decorate your pumpkin instead and use your imagination. Decorate it in your favorite colors or colors that match the décor of your home.

Every time I had a party for my daughter, either at school or at home, I would rack my brains trying to come up with some simple yet clever party favors to give the kids. Hundreds, if not thousands of ideas exist on the web, but they were either too costly, too hard to find the supplies, or I had to be a full-time artist to make the items they called "simple and cheap." Time to improvise! Skeleton Hand Favors At my local discount store, I looked at all the typical treat holders, which were cute but nothing out of the ordinary. ...Halloween Party Favors - Why Let the Spiders Have All the Fun? (With Webs!)
Halloween party favors are so much fun to make, except when the directions are hard and it almost kills me to get them done. As usual, a teacher asked to put some favors together on short notice, and I was all out of ideas. Later that day, I sat on the front porch looking at a pile of goodies and craft supplies, trying to divine a new idea that would jump out from my piles and yell at me. I drew a blank, so I leaned back and idly watched a busy spider on her web. I marveled at how fast ...The Ten Minute Tombstone

This project will take a few days to complete (mainly due to drying), but the results are well worth the time and planning. This project also lends itself to artistic interpretation and variation; a group of people can work on this project together, and each spider will turn out unique. That is one reason why this is one of my favorite craft projects. As with any project, make sure you have all of the materials you will need to complete the project before you begin. Materials Needed Lots and lots of newspaper, cut into ...Tabletop Halloween Tree
