SALTED CARAMEL POPCORN BARS

Delicious is the word for these

salted caramel popcorn bars....

this would be so easy to make instead of having

to roll it into popcorn balls which can get a little messy...

I love the idea of just putting them in a pan and cutting them...

it would be fun to mix in sprinkles in the different

holiday colors...enjoy!

CLOTHESPIN FARM ANIMALS

I think this is really a cute craft for kids....

just print out the animals, let the kids color them..

then clip clothespins on for the legs...

they will love making these and after they are done

they will have fun playing with them...

very clever idea!

CANDY CORN AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SOFTBATCH COOKIES

Well this will wrap up my 

Halloween Week

for this year...I hope you have seen

things here that you will have fun making with your

kids and sharing with friends...

Can you imagine the flavor in these cookies...

I think I better not make these myself because I would have

trouble leaving them alone I am sure...

and they are so pretty and colorful too...

...enjoy these and have a wonderful Halloween!

SPOON SKELETON

As I finish up preparing my 

Halloween Week posts I'm finding it a 

little hard to comprehend that Halloween is so close

since we have a forecast for 85 degree temps here for a 

couple days....this is rare for us...

most people think we are living under snowbanks here

for 10 months out of the year...but our weather can really

surprise us sometimes and this is one of those times....

winters have turned much more mild here than

they were when I was growing up and we would get

huge blizzards that went on for 3 days at a time...

...as I said when I started my Halloween posts...

I like the nice friendly and cute kind of decorations...

and this is another one...nothing scary about this

skeleton...he is made out of plastic forks and spoon... he's pretty cute

I think...

CREAMY CARAMEL APPLE DIP

I am fascinated with this caramel dip because it

has cream cheese mixed in it...

this is new to me...I don't know if I have just missed it

but I have never seen a caramel dip made with it...

I can't wait to try it because it must be delicious...

I like the dip best because when I was growing up

and ate caramel apples I was so disappointed when I had

eaten all the caramel off and just had the apple left...

this way you get some with every bite!

BAT CANDY BAR WRAPPER

I like this bat candy bar wrapper...

he's a friendly looking one isn't he!

....again such a simple treat...just print out the template

and cut the shape out of black paper and glue on those

big bat eyes...no work to that...

this would be cute to give out to classmates...

I like how the wings can hug the candy bar too...

JACK-O'-LANTERN MASK

Here is just a nice mask to make...

you can print it either in color or just the

outline that your child can color themselves...

for it!

this printable so you can use it for other

projects too...have fun!

CARAMEL APPLE TREAT

This is a beautiful Halloween treat to give to all

of those special people like teachers, Sunday School teachers,

neighbors, classmates, should I go on and on ?

doorknob hangers...they are just kind of the finishing touch

to any decorating...

PAPER LINK GHOST

This is a pretty nice idea if you are making Halloween ghosts

with kids because it's a little more time consuming than to just

cut one out of paper...

they will have fun making the chain links and I think the

finished product is adorable...

MICKEY HALLOWEEN BATS

I know these Mickey Halloween bats have been around the

internet for at least a few years but I couldn't do a Halloween Week

here without including them...maybe if you have seen them this

will remind you to make them again....they are so cute...

I think it's neat when they take something that some people

consider scary and turn it into such a cute craft like this...

lots of people I have known have a fear of bats...

but no reason to fear these guys!
