Flashback: A Little Halloween

Thanks to Photobucket's new policy on 3rd party hosting, I'm cleaning out there and moving my photos here. Here are a few Halloween items not previously published here.

1. A set of Halloween matchboxes, shown here in super size.

And, when open.

  

2. A polymer clay witch, ready for trick or treating:

A grinning happy jack pumpkin with a painted candlestick stand. I love painting those faux pumpkins from Michaels.

Fall was in the air this morning. More Halloween will be on the way!

Halloween Peg Doll with Boo Blocks

One of my favorite swaps on Craftster this time of year is the One Tiny Thing October Holiday swap. My partner mentioned she loves peg dolls, so I decided to make her a couple, along with some little Boo blocks. The only rule of the OTT swap is that your swap item has to be under 4". These blocks are 3/4" square, and the little cat is 1" tall, for reference. Depending on your monitor, you're probably seeing them actual size.

 

One thing I thought would be fun is that they can be arranged in many different ways. I hope my the recipient enjoys playing with them!

 

Four Happy Jacks

This weekend, I'm heading out of town with my mom, mother in law, and sister, for our annual girls' weekend. I can't wait! We usually try to get each other little gifties, just for fun. In the past, I've done little goodie bags for everyone, but this year, I did something different. Michaels has their plastic pumpkins on sale, so I bought four of the little ones and painted them up for Halloween. Happy Jacks! I love them all together, so once I give three away, I may go purchase a couple more so I can line my mantle.

I gave my MIL first choice, and she chose Jack #2, the craziest one. That was my fave, too!
