I used my Cricut Explore Air 2 (there is now an updated Cricut Explore 3 machine) to cut the ghosts from white permanent vinyl and “BOO” from black permanent vinyl. I found the ghost designs by Oli and Joh in Cricut Design Space and sized them to fit on my candle. I used the Koorkin font for the “BOO”.
After the designs were cut, I weeded off the excess vinyl and used transfer tape with a scraper to apply them to the candles. (This is a great vinyl tool set.)
To add a little extra color, I attached ribbon around the top of the candle using mini glue dots.
Don’t have a Cricut machine? Look for some cute Halloween stickers to use on your candles. They won’t be as permanent as vinyl, but I think they would last through the season.🎃👻
These Halloween Candles were super quick and easy to make. I think the longest part was deciding which font to use for the “BOO”! 🎃👻

Of course pumpkins are perfect for fall decor and this cute Crochet Candy Corn Pumpkin will add a little whimsical touch.
Fall is the perfect time for pumpkin spice lattes and warm apple cider. The Crochet Candy Corn Cup Cozy will protect your hands from a warm cup and look cute as well.
Look at this adorable little birthday chick! The name of the stamp set is Bitty Birthday Bash and he’s from Unity Stamp Company. He makes the sweetest birthday card. 🙂

Using the Stitched Mini Scalloped Rectangle STAX Die-Namics from MFT Stamps, I die cut around the image and layered it to coordinating card stock die cut using the same set. I added a piece of patterned paper to a white card and then attached strips of 2 coordinating patterned papers vertically and horizontally. The stamped image is attached to the card with foam tape.
Sometimes things just don’t work out like we planned! This baking experience was one of those times for me. 🙃 But I wanted to share it with you anyway because this is so good!

The recipe calls for cinnamon chips, but my store didn’t have them so I substituted caramel chips. It was so yummy! 😋
The bread looked so pretty when I took it out of the oven. But as you can see in the photo below when I tried to remove it from the pan, that part didn’t go so well. 🤣 I either didn’t grease my pan well enough, or I tried to remove it from the pan too soon – maybe both. 🤷🏼♀️
Even though I couldn’t slice it into nice pretty pieces, it was still so good! We just cut off chunks and ate it anyway. 😊
The recipe makes two 9 by 5 inch loaves (or four/five mini loaves). I waited a little longer to take my 2nd loaf out of the pan and it worked out much better so don’t be afraid of my mishap – this is such a good recipe!
Making the Snickerdoodle Bread into mini loaves would make great Christmas gifts for friends or neighbors. Wrap them up in cellophane, tie them with a pretty ribbon, add a cute tag, and you are good to go.🎄

Match up the edges of the 2 candy corn pieces. Single crochet the pieces together, changing yarn color to match each section, stuffing with Poly-fil as you go. Work 2 sc in the top and in each of the bottom 2 corners.
I started crocheting my pieces together on the right side of the white, working around the top down to the orange. Then continued with sc around, changing colors as needed.
This pattern is adapted from my Candy Corn Coasters you can find in this post. I love how just changing yarn and using the appropriate hook size changes the outcome of your project. This pillow would also be cute using worsted weight yarn with a G/4mm hook. You could make several smaller ones to use as bowl fillers in your Fall decor. 🍁🍂🍁
I have a quick and easy card to share with you today. I love the simplicity of the design and with minimal coloring, it comes together very quickly.

You’ll need a mini 4 by 4 inch stretched canvas, a wood pumpkin cut out (I found mine at Hobby Lobby), Fall themed scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, and acrylic paint to coordinate with your paper.
Turn your scrapbook paper over and trace around the pumpkin with a pencil. Cut out the shape just inside of the pencil line. Use a foam brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the pumpkin and attach the paper, smoothing any wrinkles. When it’s dry, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top.
Paint the front and sides of the canvas with 2 coats of acrylic paint, letting it dry between coats.

It’s made using a rotisserie chicken so you don’t have to cook the chicken ahead of time. Of course you can absolutely prepare your own chicken if you want to! You add fruit, celery, pecans, a little onion and toss it with mayo and sour cream. You can find the full recipe here.
Serve this yummy Fruity Chicken Salad with some crackers or on a bed of field greens. It makes a great sandwich on a croissant or your favorite bread. You can also add or substitute different fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, or craisins. Don’t like pecans? Use walnuts instead. This is such a versatile recipe – tweak it to fit your family’s tastes!
So my husband just had a big birthday! 🥳🎉🥳 Still not sure how we got here so fast?!?!? Of course I had to make him a special birthday card. 😊

I recently purchased this cute Birthday Balloons die set from Spellbinders. It’s perfect for celebrating all of those milestone birthdays – or really any birthday. 🥳🎉🥳 The die set even includes the little knot for the bottom of the balloons and 3 different string options.
I wanted the card to be happy and bright so I pulled out some fun coordinating patterned papers. I die cut the numbers and little knots from polka dot paper and the strings from orange card stock. To attach the knots and strings to the balloons, I used this Quickie Glue Pen. It works so well for attaching small pieces.
I attached the balloons to the card using foam tape. I stamped the sentiment (my sentiment stamp is no longer available – use your favorite sentiment from your collection) on white card stock with orange ink, die cut it with the same die set, and attached it to the card.
I can see using the Birthday Balloons die set for so many different cards – birthdays, anniversaries, back to school, even Halloween cards (31 with a cute Jack-o-lantern 🎃). I think this will be a fun set to play with. 🙂
Is it too early to start crafting for Halloween? 🎃 It’s still hot here in Alabama, but (hopefully) Fall temps will show up soon!

These little canvases measure about 4 by 4 inches and are the perfect size for the unfinished wood Halloween ornaments you can find at Dollar Tree. Add a little paint and some scrapbook paper and you can create some cute shelf sitters. 🎃👻
I cut my scrapbook paper to fit the canvas. Using a foam brush, I applied a thin coat of Mod Podge to the canvas and adhered the paper to it.
I painted the Jack-o-lantern and ghost with 2 coats of acrylic paint. To add a little depth, I dry brushed both of them with black acrylic paint.
Fun fact 👻 – while I was dry brushing the ghost, it reminded me of Pig-Pen in It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. 🎃
I attached the Jack-o-lantern and ghost to the canvases using foam tape. I knotted some twine and glued it to the ornaments to cover up the little hole on the top. Then I added Dew Drops and sequins to finish them off.
I think they turned out so cute! 🎃👻 They are the perfect size for your tiered tray, to tuck onto your mantel along with your other Halloween decor, or to add to your coffee table tray.
Where will you put your Mini Canvas Halloween Shelf Sitters? 🎃👻
