Halloween Is Coming! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's going observant for this one and she's saying, "Halloween Is Coming!" which means she'd like to see those Halloween projects.

I don't do much for Halloween anymore since my kids are all adults.  I do give out treats, of course, but living in the country means we don't get many kids, just a couple of great-nieces and great-nephews who live close.  I do tend to indulge in some Halloween eating though.  I've got a tip for that.....well this one might work just for me.  I buy a couple of boxes of full size chocolate bars from Costco because, as it turns out, I have no problem having a mini chocolate bar here and a mini chocolate bar there until I've eaten the equivalent of two and a half full size chocolate bars in a day but I tend not to reach for the full size chocolate bars.  So, this way it works out better for me.  And, do the kids faces ever light up when they see that they're getting a "big" chocolate bar.  When you're in the country, you're expected to give a fairly big haul for each kid so chocolate bars aren't the only thing they'll get but for the sake of my reputation, we won't get into my behavior concerning the mini bags of chips.

I did make up a little treat box for this challenge....


I used a tutorial and made this with my Envelope Board Punch, but I can't remember exactly which one I used.  If you would like to make one, I'm sure could just Google and find one that'll work.  Added an ancient jack-o-lantern sticker, a digi stamp from Create With Tlc for the tag, and it was done.

Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us?  And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

  2. Love this goodie bag, Jan! And your post made me laugh out loud. Growing up in a rural area myself I can so relate.

  3. I like the little treat box, Jan. Here in Germany Halloween is become more popular but there are no kids who are knocking on your door.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
