DIY MINI OWL TREAT BOXES!!

   This diy comes from www.domestifluff.com .  If you have children, this would make great treat or candy bag for that special Halloween party or to give to special friends!.       This craft is part of the 13 Days of Halloween project. Download number templates for the project, as well as the bug template for Day 3, in the tips and supplies post. Links to all of the crafts from this project can be found in the main 13 Days of Halloween post. This is it, Day 13! This little owl may look menacing, but he’ll be holding Halloween treats for you when you get to the big day. Happy Halloween! Quick Tip: If you’re pressed for time and want to speed up the process, you can cut 2″ wide x 3/4″ tall pieces of black cardstock and use decorative edging scissors (Fiskars Clouds and Scallop work very well for this) to make the feather ruffles, instead of cutting out the feather ruffle templates.

THE ANATOMY OF FEAR INFOGRAPHIC!

   Boo! Did I scare you? Probably not, but it’s the thought that counts. Today is Halloween or All Hallows Eve for those of you who prefer ye olde English. As you all know it is a day when kids and adults alike get dressed up and indulge in “treats,” for kids it’s candy for us, well it’s something that makes you feel worse than candy the following morning. Unfortunately Halloween day is on Monday, and though it will not deter everyone from partying tonight, many celebrated this weekend. Personally I went to a couple of friend’s parties and checked out 6th street in downtown Austin. This being my first Halloween to be of drinking age, I had to check out what all the hubub is about. Though it was a cool site to see, the crowd is just too big to have any real fun, besides waiting forever in line to get into the bars.    Many of us without children will probably be treating today like any other day, except maybe more likely to watch a horror movie or something of the sort.

DIY CRYSTAL BALL!

   This diy was found at www.lifeartcollide.blogspot.ie .   This was another cool and wonderful element to add to your indoor Halloween decor.  Especially, it could be the centerpiece of your kitchen table, with a matt black table cloth.  Happy Haunting! DIY Crystal Ball GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES GLASS CANDY DISH on a metal pedestal, no plastic parts as this will be going in the oven! Works best if the dish has a lip around the top, more visible in the pictures below. I found my dish at a garage sale missing the top and covered in dust, oh the possibilities!! GLASS GLOBE - NECKLESS TYPE - only the globe not the entire lamp kit. The neckless type will sit level in the dish.The globes also come in clear, none in stock...darn! Picked mine up at Lowes - $8.99. BLACK SCULPEY - 8 oz. (227 g) block - I purchase my Sculpey at Michaels WHITE GLUE - WELDBOND - I use Weldbond as it stands up to the heat of the oven.

GOURMET STYLE DIPPED APPLES WITH HOMEMADE CARAMEL SAUCE!

   This diy comes from  www.ourbestbites.com  .   I think most people can't wait for the fall season to have their caramel apples.  Well here's  a recipe for caramel apple and for those that want that little extra on top!  If you don't have a sugar buzz after one of these, somethings wrong with you. It’s okay, you can say it.  I’m a liar.  I really  did  have an actual meal for you today. But then I went grocery shopping.  And I bought apples.  I love it when I find the bags of little tiny apples; do you know what I’m talking about?  They’re smaller than normal apples, and I love them because they’re the perfect size for my little kids because they’re easy to hold and they can eat the entire thing (as opposed to eating half the apple and then leaving it somewhere super convenient, like under the couch, in the toy box, or behind the tv for me to find later.)  They’re also perfect for caramel apples because they’re just a little more manageable to eat and you can make mo
