Ghostly DIY crafting, ideas and recipes...

Pic taken with a flash during my solo journey into the darkness at Ft Mifflin last Spring. I was walking in total darkness.  Guess I'm more afraid of snakes, clowns, and mean people than the dark.  Go figure...Knitting and exploring respectfully since I can remember.

Do you need some DIY Halloween help?  I was looking around today and noticed Tipnut's DIY Halloween section.  It's a great place to find oodles of free crafty projects, recipes, decorating and party ideas.  You can never be too prepared or too spooky for Halloween. 

Dave and I have our official list of Autumn and Halloween festivities to see and I'll be sharing the spooktacular fun as we go.

Side notes: We saw Abduction this past weekend. It was filmed in Pittsburgh, Dave's hometown and we had fun checking out all the scenes of the city.

My Halloween read is a book by Zak Bagans and Kelly Crigger, Dark World.  It's an interesting look into Zak's life as a ghost hunter. If you enjoy the series, it will not disappoint.

Last Minute Halloween and Day of the Dead Ideas

Molly

Max

It's getting close to "go time" for Halloween and El Día de los Muertos and it's time to get busy! Here are a few links to help you with party, costume, and the motivation to get out there and celebrate the occasion. I have to admit, I'm a huge Halloween geek and have already taken a few historic ghost tours in the area. Don't forget your ghost detectors or protectors, as the case may be. Not a big Halloween fan? No worries, it's a great time for reflection. Follow your heart, turn off your porch light and celebrate your blessings.
