Trick or Treat!

Fall’s Favorite Fruit

Jack-O’Lantern In A Jar • Bake simple cookie shapes for kids to decorate. Mix and match the treats on paper plates to create custom pumpkin faces.

Eye Candy • A pair of candy eyes or a set of chocolate teeth turns fresh fruits sweet and other edibles into terrorific treats perfect for “goblin” up!

Happily Haunted • Bats fly. Spiders crawl. Pumpkins pop up everywhere. And all is right with the world for a Tennessee mom who can’t get enough of the season.

Scary-Good Wreaths • Boost your home’s fright factor. Trick out the front door with one of these stylishly unsettling ideas for handmade wreaths.

Family-Size Fun • Dress-up isn’t just for kids! Employ these ideas to make the whole family neighborhood royalty.

Wild Things • Gnarled trees and creepy-crawlies are the spooky highlights of these enchanted forest scenes. Pumpkins featuring etching and relief carving techniques shine. Let your imagination run wild.

Into The Woods • Enchant your favorite little forest gnomes and fairies in a woodland wonderland inside your home. Animate the adventure with spiders and owls and lots of bats, all waiting to be discovered.

Dark Repast • Capturing the essence of Halloween, blogger Harmony Lynn Goodson brews up an elegant tabletop and a sophisticated meal.

Crash Course • These reckless witches could use a little more training! While a bit of a flight risk, they’re just right for entertaining the neighbors. Failure to yield to a fence, porch, or light post produces the same eerie effect.
