While a handful of Halloween decorations have popped up in stores, there isn't nearly what I had hoped for. I haven't seen a single fake pumpkin anywhere and so much of my Halloween crafting involves those. I'll be better prepared next year!

With just a few supplies and half an hour, I made this fun and spooky black rose Halloween wreath. It's hanging next to our front door and I've been asked ... Read More

Candy Corn Scissors Pouch
I will never apologize for loving candy corn. I look forward to candy corn season every year and keep a stash in the house. It didn't occur to me to check and see if I could get candy corn in New Zealand until the season should have started--you can't. If I had realized this sooner, we probably wouldn't be here.
