I know that there are only a few days left before Halloween but there is still time to make these great spooky specimens in a jar that I pinned from webecoist.com. They are super easy and super fast.

Sister’s Retreat in Boston
In my last post I mentioned I was in Boston with my sisters. This is our first official bi-annual sister’s retreat. We have talked about doing this for several years and finally got around to making the trip happen. We brought our darling mother (75) along with us. We head home tomorrow afternoon after a…
Candy Corn Cupcakes
How do you feel about Candy Corn? I have a love-hate relationship with it. I love it. Therefore, I eat too much of it and make myself sick. Every single time! Recognizing I have this problem, some years I force myself to stay away from it all together. This is not one of those years….

Tomato Cage Halloween Trees
I love all the tomato cage ghosts that I’ve seen on Pinterest. I’ve considered making several for our front porch.

Twinkie Mummies
Next to Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love the colors, the candy, the fun decorations and especially some fun food. Even though my kids are grown and out of the house, we have an annual Halloween dinner complete with the grossest food. This year one of our family members is expecting a…
Gourd Ghosts
Don’t you think these gourd ghosts look great? I thought so too, so about 5 years ago I ran out and bought myself some gourds. Painted them white and then got busy with other things. Halloween came and went, my gourd ghosts never got their faces put on so…. I stored the little guys in…
Front Door Mummy
It’s a wrap! A front door mummy wrap. I was going to do “Franken Door” until I noticed this pin from Dina at Honey & Fitz. Such a great idea. All I needed was two and a half extra large rolls of crepe paper and one sheet each of black and white poster board. Supplies – 2…
