I am taking five minutes of my day to share five things.
I'm sharing 5 things I love about Halloween:
1) I like picking out the candy that I give out to the trick or treaters who come to our house. One year I bought candy that we did not like (so that I would not cheat and eat it before Halloween) but not this year!
2) I love eating (sneaking) some candy and chocolates while I give it out to the trick or treaters. I've also cheated a little bit already on the candy. Hehe. I bought 2 large bags of candy this year. Last year we had a lot of trick or treaters and I used up 1 large bag. So we'll see what happens this year.
3) I enjoy giving out the candy to the kids and looking at their cute costumes. (I do not enjoy looking a big kids with no costumes on)!
4) My dog Bosco has a new Halloween costume this year and will be dressed up as super dog. He will help me give out candy to the trick or treaters.
5) I love looking at the houses decorated for Halloween. In our neighborhood we have some houses that are decorated with orange lights and a lot of cute and scary decorations.
Do you like Halloween? I'd love to know!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
Wishing you all a safe and Happy Halloween!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and see you all back here on
Monday for Cooking and Crafting with J & J.

Hi friends. I hope you are all having a nice week and getting ready for Halloween.
Here at our house I love decorating for Halloween with cute decorations. In our house we do not like scary or skulls or anything bloody.
I did not buy any new Halloween decorations for inside the house this year. I just used the crochet pumpkins that I made last year to add into my mantel. I also crocheted a ghost that hangs from my mantel.
I added into my window box on my stoop some small scarecrows and as you can see the flowers are still blooming and have not died. I love mums and have them too on the steps will some small pumpkins. I also have a ghost hanging on my front door.
How do you decorate for Halloween - Cute or Scary?

As you can see I have been motivated this year to crochet some of my own decorations. It's fun and I did not spend a lot of money on the yarn.
I know many of you have made your own awesome decorations for fall and Halloween. Thanks for keeping me motivated to make my own decorations!

Have a great day and see you tomorrow and if not ....

A few weeks ago while I was shopping in Michael's, I bought Bosco his costume for Halloween. Here he is dressed up as Superman or Superdog? Haha, that's my cutie! He will be wearing his costume all day on Halloween!
Bosco also sends Halloween wishes to everyone and we hope you have a great day!

Hello friends! I hope you are all having a nice fall weekend. I've been super busy this week and apologize if I have not visited some of you. Please know that I read all of your lovely comments and I thank you.
I had the lucky opportunity to have another blog meet up yesterday in New York City in the Times Square area.
Guess who I met? I had lunch with Amy from Ms. Toody Goo Shoes ( If you remember we met for coffee during the summer. It was one of the hottest days of summer too! If you missed that post you can read that HERE ).
And with..... Ginnie from Hello Little Home!
And don't forget my first meet up I had with Mary from My Dogs My Garden and Mary when I was on vacation in California back in June. If you missed that post you can read it HERE.

We had lunch at HB Burger & Bar which is right in Times Square, New York City.
We had a nice lunch of veggie burgers and salads that were so good. We all had so much fun getting to know each other and talking and sharing about our blog stories.
Sorry, but we all forgot to ask the waiter to take a photo of us together!
We all had so much fun and we are looking forward to our next blogger luncheon.
Amy was so sweet and thoughtful and gave Ginnie and I each a package of homemade Rugelach. To see the recipe to make your own you can visit Amy's blog post HERE.
Here is the Rugelach in the really cute carton that Amy made. It tastes amazing! Thanks Amy.
Kim from Exquisitely Unremarkable and Janet from Rosemary and Thyme could not meet with us for the luncheon and you were both missed. We hope to meet up in the future.
Blogger friends are the Best!

Hello friends! With Halloween fast approaching I decided to make a crochet ghost. I made this in no time and I'd love to share with you how I made it.
This easy craft took me about 2 hours tops to make.

CROCHET GHOST
What you will need to make the ghost:
Yarn: White Red Heart Yarn - for ghost
Black Red Heart Yarn - for eyes, to tie around ghost, & to hang
Crochet Hook: US Hook size I
Cotton Fill
ch = chain
hdc = half double crochet
Directions:
Chain 22
hdc in second ch from hook. Continue with hdc all the way to end of row. When you get to the end of row ch 2 and turn. Continue this way until you have 14 rows done. Weave in both ends of yarn. This will now look like a square shape. Take a small amount of cotton filling and form into a ball. Place this in middle of the crocheted piece. Take a long piece of cut black yarn and tie a bow around the neck of the ghost. Sew in two eyes with black yarn and add a long piece of yarn at the top of ghost and then tie a knot at the end to hang up.
Done.
