Hey y'all,

How are you?  I just wanted to drop in and share another gift Dixie made for me for Christmas.  She is just so talented.  That little creative mind of hers is full of ideas.  She made each of us in our family a clock for Christmas.  This one is mine!  I just LOVE it!  Three of my favorite things:  orange, coffee and the SF Giants!  :)

Can you believe it's almost Halloween?  Wow!  This year is sure going by fast.  We're counting down the days 'till Christmas!  Cannot wait! 
Here is a Halloween Trick or Treat craft that is great for a gift!  You can even alternate it and use it for whatever holiday you like!  
 
MATERIALS: 
empty tissue box
 paper (to wrap the outside)
 decorations for the outside
hot glue gun/glue sticks
tissue paper (to line the bottom)
goodies to fill it with   

DIRECTIONS:
1.  Wrap the outside with paper.  (I used orange wrapping paper.)  
2.  Decorate the outside.  (I cut up pieces of foam with crazy scissors.  Then I added orange foam sticker dots.  I glued the jack-o-lantern on the front.)  
3.  Line the bottom with tissue paper then fill with goodies. 
4.   The "hand"  is just a plastic glove filled with popcorn and jellybeans for the fingernails.  You could use candy corns.  
5.  The "mummy"  is a "Mondo" juice bottle wrapped with white streamer, for the eyes I used white construction paper for the outside layer of black, then white paper and for the eyeballs I colored orange dots black.  (the same ones I used on the outside of the box.)   You could use googly eyes.
6.  The "ghost" is just a tootsie roll pop with a tissue over it and a ribbon tied around it.  I used a black marker for the eyes.  
7.  The pumpkin cookies are just homemade sugar cookies; we died the frosting orange.  
8.  The rest is just a bag of candy, coloring books, notepad and pen.

Our Mother made these darling Easter baskets for the kids and some ladies at our Church.  Aren't they adorable?  Dixie wrote the names all fancy like and our oldest sister helped cut them out.  I helped stuff them.  :)  What?  That's the fun part!
