Using these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies, I die cut around the image. I layered black, orange, and black card stock cut with the same die set to a white card and attached the stamped piece on the top.
This little kitty is a fun cute way to send Halloween greetings! 🐈⬛🎃
My Mini Crochet Halloween Candy Corn Treat Bag is the perfect size to fill with Halloween treats for all those special little ones. 🎃 It works up really quickly so you can make several in no time. I used cotton yarn, but any worsted weight yarn will work great.

Hey There Pumpkin! 🎃 This card is so fun to make. He’s a fun image to color and I love his cute little face.

To make the card, I added a piece of black polka dot patterned paper to a white card. The pumpkin image is attached to the card with the sentiment attached at an angle over the top left corner. I added 3 gold sequins for a little bling. 🎃
I think he would also look so cute with a lime green hat! 💚

This is the beginning of my husband’s baking adventure – complete with his mug of coffee. 😊
The shortbread layer mixed together and fresh from the oven…
He had a little trouble with the caramel layer and I didn’t get a picture of it. It wasn’t burnt and tasted yummy, it just didn’t look quite right. We weren’t sure if it would work out but we went ahead and spread it over the shortbread anyway. Jane has some tips to help on this step in her recipe.
We put the caramel covered shortbread in the fridge and hoped for the best!
After about an hour, he melted the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips and swirled them over the top. Back to the fridge for an hour or so and here are the finished Millionaire’s Shortbread bars. Oh! My! Goodness!!! They are so good!!! 😋 They took me right back to Scotland and eating this yummy treat on the streets of Edinburgh!
These treats didn’t turn out quite as pretty as the ones from Jane’s Patisserie, but they were made with a lot of love and were so yummy! 🥰

You can find my original Crochet Pumpkin pattern here. For my Halloween Pumpkins, I followed the same pattern with just a couple of changes in the number of stitches in the starting chain and number of rows.
For the Orange pumpkin, I chained 21 to start and then followed my pattern for 31 rows. For the Purple pumpkin, I chained 16 to start and then followed my pattern for 27 rows. For the Black pumpkin, I chained 12 to start and then followed my pattern for 21 rows. All of the pumpkins are finished in the same way according to the pattern.
These pumpkins are much smaller than my original pumpkin which measures about 6 inches across by 3.5 inches high. The Orange pumpkin measures about 3.75 inches across by 2.5 inches high. The Purple pumpkin measures about 3 inches across by 2 inches high. And the Black pumpkin measures about 2.5 inches across by 1.5 inches high.
My Crochet Pumpkin pattern is so versatile! Just by changing the yarn and size of your crochet hook, you can make a whole pumpkin patch of different size pumpkins. I think I need to make one with blanket yarn. 😊

I applied gray ink around the edges of the piece using a blender brush and attached it to purple card stock die cut with the same die set. I attached a piece of black and white striped patterned paper to a white card and then added the stamped piece. I finished off the card by adding 3 light purple sequins.
I bet she’ll get that pumpkin basket filled with candy in no time! 🎃😉

I have a fun Yarn-Wrapped Halloween Wreath to share with you today. 🎃👻 It’s easy to make and will look so cute on your front door!

You’ll need a styrofoam wreath (mine measures about 18 inches in diameter), yarn for wrapping in orange, purple, and black, straight pins, and various ribbons for the bow. You can also add a ghost and pumpkin wood cutout or any other embellishments you’d like. The yarn I used is Beginner Bee yarn from Hobby Lobby. It’s a tubular t-shirt style yarn. I ended up using less than 1 skein of each color on my wreath. The skein weighs 2.3 ounces and has 65 yards.
I had the ghost and pumpkin cutouts in my stash – they came from Dollar Tree a couple of years ago, I’m not sure if they have them again this year. You can also find the ghost here and the pumpkin here in packages of 8.
Begin your wreath by attaching the yarn with a straight pin. Then just keep wrapping the yarn around the wreath in sections. When you are ready to start a new color, simply cut the first color, attach the end with a straight pin, and start the new color by attaching with a straight pin. Continue wrapping the yarn around the wreath. I wrapped 4 sections of each color – the sections measure about 4.5 inches each. I didn’t measure – I just eyeballed it. 🙂The photo below shows how the wreath looks from the back.
I created a Re-Fabbed style bow and used black/orange twine to tie it around the wreath. I tied another loop of twine around the wreath for the hanger. I painted the ghost and pumpkin with white and orange acrylic paint, tied a knot bow from twine and purple ribbon, and hot glued them to the ghost and pumpkin. Then I hot glued the ghost and pumpkin to the wreath.
This is a fun and easy wreath to make – it will add a little bit of Halloween whimsy to your front door!🎃👻

I stamped the background stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white card stock. I used my Misti Stamping Tool to stamp it a couple of times to get a good image. Then I applied 3 different shades of orange ink using blending brushes. Using these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies, I die cut the piece. I layered the piece to black card stock cut with the same die set and attached it to a white card.
I stamped the Jack-O-Lantern with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored him with Copic markers, and cut him out using these detail scissors. Using these Scallops & Circles Nesting Dies, I die cut a circle from black card stock and attached the Jack-O-Lantern to it. The piece is attached to the card using foam tape. I stamped “Happy Halloween!” (another really old stamp in my collection 🙂) with black ink on white card stock and die cut around it using these Scalloped & Stitched Nesting Dies. Using a blending brush, I applied black ink to the edges and attached to the card.
A fun, not too scary, way to send Halloween greetings! 🎃
One of my favorite easy cookie recipes is Snickerdoodle Cookies. 😋 They are such a yummy Fall treat. 🍁🍂🍁 You may even have everything you need in your kitchen right now to whip up a batch!

Important tip: Be sure to use margarine NOT butter! This will keep your cookies soft and chewy.
Here’s the recipe:
1 cup margarine at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 and 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400°.
Cream together margarine, sugar, and eggs thoroughly. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add to the first mixture and blend thoroughly. Form dough into balls the size of walnuts.
If dough is too sticky, just put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes or sprinkle your hands with water before rolling into balls.
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and 3 teaspoons cinnamon. Roll each ball in this mixture and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, allowing at least 2 inches between each ball. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
This recipe makes about 5 dozen cookies so there are plenty for everyone. 😋 So good with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of tea or coffee! And if there are any left, they freeze well.
