Decorating for Halloween

Good Morning,

 Saturday, my "pretend grandson" and some of his friends came over to our house to decorate the outside of my husband's garage for Halloween.

 I wanted to thank them for coming so I made them little gifts.

For the girls I made witches hats that I got for FREE from Dreaming Tree, it is called Witch Hat Treat Cone and for the boys I made coffins that are also FREE from Dreaming Tree they are called Spooky Coffin.

 I filled the hats with a candy necklace and candy ring.  I used DCWV Glitter Paper for the hat.

I filled the coffins with miniature candy:



I used DCWV Glitter paper for the moon and the shadow of the bats. The rest of the paper is from a paper pad called Pebbles "Spooky Boo!"   I bought the 12x12 pack from Amazon and I have used this paper the most while making Halloween stuff.  


Here are some photos of the young people that were kind enough to help us out:



We fed them dinner, hot dogs cooked on the fire and my husbands famous "Kick Ass" beans + chips and dessert.  We love having young people around.  We have found that the older we get the more patience we seem to have for them.

I am entering my treat holders into the following challenges:

Double Trouble Paper Crafting - #41 Batty Color Challenge
Crafting Happiness - #20 Halloween
Dragonfly Dreams - Use Black (A lot or a little)
Crafty Calendar - Autumn Colors/Halloween
If You Give a Crafter a Cookie - #128  

A Bit More Time To Craft - #102 ATG
The Crafter's Challenge - #229 Use a stencil and/or Halloween colors Purple, orange and black.
Creatalicious Challenges - 173 ATG with optional Autumn/Halloween



Thank you so much for stopping by, hope you are planning something fun for Halloween.

Hugs,

    How blessed you are to have these children in your life! The idea for the Halloween "favors" must have been a big hit - who doesn't love candy? Thank you for playing along at Double Trouble #41.
