Halloween Crafts/Decor

I LOVE FALL so I decided a couple of years ago that I need some Fall decor. I made these cute pumpkins out of Polymer Clay.

Plus I made this witch.

Last year I went and found these glass pumpkin jars. My mom and I thought putting the orange tissue paper in there would be cute. Of course I did not have enough so I put white in the one.

This year I made/painted a bunch of things. I did the vinyl lettering stuff with my Cricut :) I had so much fun. I found that using the Cricut Design Studio is SO much easier when doing vinyl.




I got the wood blocks and other shapes HERE. They have SO much more I want to go get. So when I finally have money I will slowly get more stuff.
Then I bought a clipboard at walmart and made this Halloween count down. It did not totally turn out the way I wanted, but is still super cute!

S'mores

In my family we LOVE s'mores, and have found a great recipe so that we can have them without the fire.


1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 cups mini marshmallows
6 oz pkg chocolate chips

Beat margarine and sugar. Add flour and crumbs. Mix. Press into 9 inch pan. Sprinkle with other ingredients. Bake in 375 oven for 15-20 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.

We ALWAYS make a double batch to fit in a cookie sheet. We also usually use MORE chocolate chips and marshmallows than called for. I usually use 2 12 oz bags of chocolate chips and almost a full bag of marshmallows. (you can use as much or little as you want)
