Halloween has never been one of my favorite holidays, but I do enjoy crafting for my grandchildren. I posted their Halloween card here, but made some treat boxes for the little girls who live in town, and shipped a package off to the two in Wisconsin.
I found the purple and black boxes at Target as well as most of the contents (sticker books, pencils, tiny notepads, and temporary tatoos.) The little "snow" globes came from Walgreens and I didn't realize that they weren't all the same until I took this photograph. Later the middle one was exchanged so that all three were identical.
I had all the ingredients for the tags in my stash: the orange tags, the stamps ("Monthly Moments" and "Friendship Jar: Fall" from Papertrey Ink, and the witch's feet from an unnamed Hero Arts set). I painted three clothespins to match the boxes, and add a little witch's hat (Little B sticker) to the clothes pin. The girls got their treat boxes over the weekend since tonight there will be ample excitement and too many treats as it is.
Matt sent us photos last night of this year's pumpkin carvings. They always amaze me. The message was "This year's pumpkins. So far." Usually, the girls pick out the designs and Dad carves them. This year it's a pony, one of the characters from "Frozen," and interestingly, a car.
Hopefully, I'll have some photos of the grandchildren dressed up by tomorrow, but I never count on it. They're usually far too busy to pose for a photo. Finally, here's the fourth photo I took for last week's "Take Three Thursday," the perfect Halloween scene.
