'tis the Season!

So yesterday was the first day of Fall, which means it's time to break out the good old Halloween decorations!  Right now they are strewn all over my kitchen floor! Don't you just love the mess associated with holiday decorating?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to decorate for Halloween! Although Summer has overtaken me as my favorite season (hey you can't beat swimming pools, flip flops & vacations)... Fall is a VERY close second, if not a close tie.

(this is my crew a few years ago...not my house anymore, we moved since then)

In the coming weeks, I'm going to share some of my Halloween traditions and decor, and please share with me some of yours! I'd love to see traditions, recipes, costumes etc!

So to get started here are a few:

Follow this link for a  Halloween craft tag from last year, a little neighbor gift & mini scrapbook.

Also:

Last year for a couple of friends I made caramel apples. They were SUPER easy, just melt caramels in a double boiler (store bought caramels) then dip the apples, and dip in sprinkles, nuts, chocolate chips, whatever you have.  To package them, I used some left over chargers. I picked them up at Target after Christmas clearance, they are sparkly silver (I think they were 4 for $5 or so)... made a tag and tied it all up with some cellophane.

Traci at Amazing Mae  is giving away a pumpkin door hanging, and trust me as the owner of one of these you want one!!!

Kathyrn and Melissa of Nanny goat have got some pumpkin recipes comin' up too! Watch their blog!

Ki Memories is Having a Halloween Craft Party on their blog... can't wait to see what they come up with !

House of 3 has some AWESOME Halloween digital stuff! Did you see the cute stuff they are making with it!!? My head is seriously spinning with ideas!

So what else? Let me know? I want ideas!

*note, I am switching to short feed... I've just read too many stories of people having their blogs "cloned" (cjane is one)... seems going to a short feed is one of the best ways to stop this! *
