It has been said a picture is worth a thousand words. Hopefully on Wednesday’s I won’t have to write a single one.

Ian’s school is having a Halloween party this week. They are going to do a little trick-or-treat event, so us parents are charged with bringing treats in from our student.
Of course, I couldn’t just bring in some candy.
I made these cute little candy envelopes. They fit one Fun Size pack of M&M’s, or similar candy.
These are perfect for giving to friends or neighbors.
If you would like to download this printable, you can here.
To assemble: cut out each envelope. Fold along lines, four sections.
Have child write their name, or other sentiment in the white space on the back.
Tape the candy inside, use a dollop of glue under the pumpkin/skull to secure.
Happy Halloween

This week’s photo challenge is “The Hue of You”
The Hue of me is sunshine and fields of spring time flowers.
But it is October. And those hues aren’t really available right now. I know I could have searched my archives for a picture, because I am sure I have lots of those. But I didn’t want it to be an old picture.
I also didn’t want to take a picture of something else with those colors. Because the hue of me is more than a synthetic color.
So I decided this week picture should be “The Hue of the Season”
Happy Shooting
Ian is in preschool now. I know I can’t believe it either.
His school is having little Halloween parties on two days. That way everyone gets to participate, since it is preschool, not everyone goes everyday. The day that he gets to attend, Wed., is my day off! That means I get to go too! Whoo Hoo!
The great thing about him going to preschool at a private school with about twenty students is that I can make treats for the kids!
While browsing the blog Ginger Snap Crafts, I came across a guest post by I Dig Pinterest. It was a recipe for Gooey Caramel Apple Monstercorn.
Doesn’t that look fantastic?!
Christine (I Dig Pinterest) made caramel popcorn and then poured melted Caramel Apple Taffy over it and accented with candy eyes. (For her recipe click on the picture above)
I just knew this would be the treat I wanted make for the kids at school. I thought about just putting some in little plastic bags, but realized that is a bit too simple for me.
So I designed these popcorn boxes.
I used the graphic from a couple of Halloween kits from Just So Scrappy.
You can download this printable here.
The PDF file has two pages to print on cardstock or other heavy-duty paper. Each page is for two sides of the popcorn box. Simple cut each out and glue/tape them together then secure the bottom (download includes instructions).
Enjoy!
Happy Crafting
