A Crafty Halloween

I’m realizing that I am not a summer crafter.  It is just too hot.  When the weather starts to cool, my itch to create reignites.  I am actually not that into Halloween, but it is more fun now that the kids are older. 

These were the snacks I brought for k’s Girl Scout meeting.

We made m&m oatmeal cookies and “boo’d” our neighbors.  The kids had so much fun with this—ringing doorbells, leaving the cookies and RUNNING!  They were caught by our neighbors across the street, mainly because they had to watch out for cars before running back to our house. 

I actually sewed these trick or treat totes for the kids last year, but this is the first year they can use them.  We forgot them when we were driving to the Great Park.  Luckily, I remembered them not too far from our house, and I *insisted* that D turn back so we could bring them!

I was able to use up some scraps to sew this mini fabric basket using this tutorial.

I also added a touch of fall to our front door.  Can you tell that fall is my favorite season??
