Arts 'n Crafts

Over the past two nights, I've spent roughly seven hours cutting teeny tiny shapes out of construction paper.  Lots of glue sticking ensued.  The end result: thirty-one custom made goodie bags for the Halloween party at work tomorrow.  That's right.  The Odd Broad got her craft on.

I enlisted Hubby's help and he came up with the Frankenstein design.  God bless that man.

Oooh, those are nice. I, too, got my craft on this week. I knitted a hat and made a cowboy costume.

i have to ask - what are those yellow orange and white things that look like a round edged cone? I have no idea what they are (I live in Lancashire though, we don't get out much).

Hi Steph! They're called candy corn. I'm not really a fan of how they taste, but they're very Halloween-y.

I didn't know this, but October 30th is apparently candy corn day in the United States!? Very random!

after i posted that i googled "yellow white and orange" and it came up. wiki is very informative, albeit often dubious.

we have Parkin at Halloween/Bommy Neet, Parkin is DEELISH. i will make my own one day, when i buy some baking stuff.

I googled Parkin, and it sounds lovely! But I couldn't find anything for Bommy Neet- is it another term for Halloween?
