play creatively
I knew that just as soon as I made these fun Trick-or-Treators, for my Halloween Party Pack Printable in my shop, that I wanted to created a haunted house for them to spook around in. And my boys, well they whole heartedly approved of the idea. So we got straight to work, using our favorite craft …
It’s no secret that we LOVE Halloween around here. But as much as we love the spooky season, I’ve found it hard to find decor and party supplies that I like. So many border on too tacky or just too over the top. So I decided to fix this dilemma by simply creating my own and offering …
I’ve been craving a fun and low-key get together with friends and with Halloween around the corner, I thought now was the perfect time to grab our littles and join in on some spooky crafternoon fun!
