October 26, 2023

We’ve reached the busy season, and that typically means lots of parties and get togethers to celebrate the holidays. I love this time of year (like most of you) and there’s usually a lot that goes into getting ready for a party. Coming up with the food menu, activities, decorations, etc.

One of my favorite things at a party are the photo booths! I love that there are so many fun ideas to create a cute back drop and capture a moment from the party. If you’re having a photo booth, you’re definitely going to need some props! These props are the perfect addition to your Fall photo booth and you can make them at home!

Free Halloween Invitation – Printable and Digital

September 8, 2022

There’s less than 2 months until Halloween, can you believe it? We’re so excited to dress up and stuff our faces with Halloween candy. Since we’re quickly approaching Halloween season, that means (for some of us) party season!

Halloween parties are one of my favorites. It’s so fun to see friends and family dress up, especially the DIY costumes. My SIL flawlessly puts together her daughters halloween costumes pretty much every year and she pulls them off with such ease! They look amazing and I’m always so impressed.

When our oldest was born, we started to dress up as a family and we kept the tradition alive for a while. A few years ago, we made Harry Potter costumes, and I enlisted the help of my MIL to help make the robes for the 3 of them, among a few other things. That was the last year our kids ever dressed up in themed costumes, but it was one of my favorites!

If you’re planning a Halloween party this year, here’s a free invitation you can use to send to your friends/family! Either print out with the pdf and fill in the even details, or send out a digital version of it that you can edit yourself! Both options are simple and easy to use.

Free Printable Halloween Gift Tags

August 14, 2022

It may only be August, but I’m excited and ready for Halloween! Part of the reason may be because we live in Texas and am ready for the cooler temps, but I love this time of year. I love all the decorations, the get togethers, and all the food.

Chocolate is my biggest weakness and I struggle to say no to it. This is probably a big part of why I love this time of year so much. All of the sweets and did I mention the delicious food?

We’ve already started thinking about what costumes our kids are going to wear for Halloween, and at the moment they’re saying they’re sticking to what they’ve picked out this year. I highly doubt our 6 year old has completely made up her mind, but she has a couple more months to decide! We’re in no rush, but it’s fun to plan already.

I’m sharing these cute gift tags to attach to treat bags for school parties, party favors or to hand out for trick or treat-ers on Halloween! There are 3 different options to choose from! If you love all 3, print them all out. if there is one or two that match better with your party theme, there’s that option as well.

I’m using these Kraft Paper Treat Bags to fill small treats in and a small clothes pin to secure the tag to it. You could easily turn these gift tags into stickers or hole punch them through the tags and attach them to bags with ribbon.

Here’s what you’ll need to make these gift tags!

Spooky Treats Cricut Project

October 8, 2018

It’s been too long since my last post! My family and I moved to Texas two months ago, and I’ve made it back into the world of working full time, and things have been busy! But, I’ve finally managed to share a fun and quick project that is easy to pull off with your Cricut!

I love decorating our house for the holidays, and although my kids will probably end up getting too much chocolate for Halloween, it’s fun to display some Halloween candy in the home in this little jar. You can also take this into the office or gift it to a friend. Here’s how easy this project is:

Materials:

“Spooky Treats” cut out file

Small Vase (or jar, make sure there is a smooth glass surface)

Gold Foil Adhesive

Cricut

Download the “Spooky Treats” cut out file, and load it into your Cricut Design Space. Determine the size of your vase and how big you’d like the cut out to be. Once the file has been cut out, place the adhesive onto your vase/jar and smooth out as much of the bubbles as you can (this is probably the only hard part). Fill up your jar with fun size candy, and you’re all done!

In case your friends don’t have enough sugar in their home, surprise them with some donuts and this fun little Halloween Donut Printable. It’s perfect to pass out to your friends and co-workers, whether it’s in a small treat bag or on top of a big box of donuts. There’s a printable for both sizes, just add a cute ribbon or washi tape and you’re sugary Halloween treat is all set!

If you want to make your own Halloween donuts, here’s a tutorial on how to make these Easy Mini Donuts, just substitute for Halloween colors and sprinkles!

Out of Treats Halloween Printable

October 19, 2017

It’s almost Halloween, can you believe it? We are counting down the days and are excited about going to all the Halloween festivities these next couple of weeks! We have 2 trunk or treats we’re going to back to back next week and my kids will have candy for days! I have a massive sweet tooth, so it will be really tricky to avoid all those treats!

Speaking of treats, last year I shared this Out of Treats Halloween Sign over at Eighteen25 and it worked out perfectly at our house. As soon as all our candy was gone, I switched the sign and nobody knocked on our door when the “Out of Treats” sign was up. It was great! It’s super easy to make and you only need a picture frame and ribbon to complete this look!

Grab the Printable over at Eighteen25 and see how to make this easy and cute Halloween craft!

Halloween Lunch Box Jokes

October 5, 2017

My 1st grader is a total goofball and knows it. He also loves hearing jokes and tries to make up his own knock knock jokes even if they aren’t very good. Now that he’s able to read, I thought it would be fun to put some Halloween Jokes in his lunches when he goes to school so he can get a bit of a laugh during the day. Now he can try and make his friends laugh in the lunch room too!

All of the answers are on the bottom of the of each cut out and upside down to make it a little trickier for your kiddo to see the answer. I like to print these Halloween Lunch Box Jokes onto cardstock so they don’t get destroyed in their lunch box. Scroll down below to grab your own lunchbox printables for your kids!

October Wallpaper + Printables

September 29, 2017

Who’s ready for the holidays to commence? The 1st of October means, to me at least, that the beginning of the holidays are finally about to start! I remember thinking last year I was just ready for them to end, but it’s amazing how another year flies by and I’m ready to get back into the holiday spirit!

This month’s wallpaper is a tad bit difference as I’ve added a Halloween Countdown Printable into the mix! You can print it out, frame it and use a chalk paint marker to write the remaining days until Halloween. My kids are so excited to dress up, our second kid can hardly contain his enthusiasm. We purchased Danny’s costume at the beginning of September (at little too early, right?) but we couldn’t pass it up since it was the costume he really wanted and we just wanted to get it out of the way. Our kids are going to be “what they want to be when they grow up” costumes. JD is going to be a baseball player, Danny will be a pilot, and Riley will be Doc McStuffins (a cuter version of a doctor). My husband has had their careers all lined up even before they were born, it is insane but somehow it has managed to work for the first two!! We’ll see how Riley feels in a couple of years.

Hopefully, these wallpapers + printables will get you into the Halloween spirit of things! Enjoy the month of October!

Halloween Treat Bag Printables

September 13, 2017

*This post contains affiliated links

We are getting to my favorite time of year! Cooler weather, fall smells, and the upcoming holidays. While they can be stressful at times, they are still fun and I love sharing these holidays with my kids.

These Halloween Treat Bags are fun to do with kiddos and are great to hand out to friends, your students, or use as party favors. They only take minutes to make and can be filled with any type of small candy.

Here’s what you’ll need:

-Cardstock

–Halloween Treat Bag Printables

–Treat Bag (at least 4 inches wide)

-Candy

–Rafia (for the witch only)

-Green Ribbon (for the pumpkin only)

-Stapler

-Glue Gun

Start by cutting out all your Treat bags & pieces. Fold along the gray lines, and fold the tops accordingly so that it forms a triangle as pictured.

For the Mummy: Skip to steps 2-4.

For the Witch: add hot glue to the top corns of the face, making sure that the flap is folded over so that it’s not accidentally glued instead. She will look like a bald witch at this point, totally normal. 🙂
