If its October its got to be pumpkins, witches and trick or treat - although trick or treat is a very new idea here in the UK. But I have to admit that I absolutely love the shape and colour of pumpkins and have a few favourite Papertrey Ink pumpkin images in my collection. I used them to make small trick or treat gifts for some of the younger family members who are really looking forward to the 31st.
And I'm looking forward to the
Papertrey blog hop tonight. Its always inspiring to see what other PTI addicts have been making and of course I want to join in and offer my treats - especially the pumpkins ones! The lunch box die is perfect as a treat holder and I purchased some fun-size
(don't know why they call them fun size - a larger size would be much more fun!) chocolate buttons and bars that fitted in nicely.
My lovely blog friend
Theresa is currently holding a Halloween blog party with a giveaway and she wants to know our favourite Halloween memories. Well, as I said, we don't really have a tradition of celebrating on Halloween here in the UK but I do have a little pottery witch I bring out every October. She sits on my mantelpiece until its time to put up the Christmas decorations, so to me she is the very beginning of the Christmas crafty season. I remember buying her at one of those bargain basement stores many years ago. When my son was small he and I used to go with my Mum and Dad on Saturday shopping trips and on this trip Mum and I both bought a witch - Dad thought we were daft, but I've loved her ever since. She has decorated my October mantelpiece for at least the last 35 years and is a happy reminder of long ago shopping trips with my parents.
Oh, and I've two blog posts today. If you are curious to find out what constitutes a good Sunday afternoon outing here in Wales, scroll down and take a look!

What fun! I particularly like the apple!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little bags. I like that apple, I'm going to have to use my stamp as it hasn't seen ink yet. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThese look great, Ann! And I agree, a larger size should be called the "fun-size"! LOL!

ReplyDeleteThose are all so fun. And, I agree--the biggest sized candy bars should be labeled 'fun size'.

ReplyDeleteThese are so cute!! My mum is from Scotland, so she never got overly excited about halloween like so many others - she's never been trick or treating herself, I am sure! :) I LOVE it now, especially since I have little ones to take out. I am going to store your idea around to make into a Christmas version - thanks for the inspiration!
