Linkup Party Likes #15

Happy Halloween everyone!!! It’s Halloween today and the weather is fitting, cold and miserable.  I remember celebrating Halloween when I was a kid.  I would wear my Mum’s black tablecloth with little white flowers on it as my cape and my Mum would make me a witches hat.
I don’t really do anything at our house for Halloween but my sister is a big kid and she has her place all set up with a little mini haunted house and had my girls over for a sleepover and a sausage sizzle for a few of my nieces school friends.  Sorry I’m a bit slack and don’t have any pictures.
Anyway, what have I been up to lately well I have put a few more listings up at my Made It store and have a few tutorials in mind for Wednesday but can’t decide yet what I would like to do first.
But what have you all been doing lately?  Well I thought it was only to fitting to share the great ideas you all had for Halloween this year.
I think this little witches hat over at Sweet Little Smoothie is just adorable and going to make one for the girls next year.

And I just love this tutorial that Shining Parties has for this yummy looking Ghost Pops.  Who can resist anything that has Oreo's in it:

Do you have some empty plastic milk cartons and a few solar lights out in the garden.  Then why not create these great Ghosts for the garden.  You can find the tutorial over at Condo Blues:

And last but not least, Freaking Craft has created these cute little mummy’s using vases, fabric and googly eyes.  The would make great centrepieces at any table.
I will have to get my finger out next year and use some of these great ideas for the kids to have next halloween.
Well its nearly dinner time so I better head off.  Hope you all have a scary halloween.!!!!!!
