Recipe Card 2
I would love to be able to add some free graphics to these recipe cards but because of copyright rules I don't have any graphics suitable that I can share, so I'm making the recipe cards so that if anyone wants to add your own graphics you can do so. To download the recipe card without graphics click to enlarge, then right click and "save as" to your computer. I'll be showing my recipe card only as a sample.

Ghost Treat Bag
This bag is made from one piece of black felt, a ghostly shape cut from white felt, and a face made from the same directions as the little ghost pin that I posted earlier. You can see the directions here. I cut the handle from the length of the felt, one half inch wide. I glued the white ghost shape along with the face to the top portion of the bag which is to be the front. Fold that piece of felt and trim the corners to make it into a "U" shape as I did this one or leave it with square corners. You can make the bag as large or small as you want it. I zig zaged a stitch around the edge and at the same time, sewed the handle on. This one will hold several little treats to give. Any child will love it and it is another quick and easy craft.

A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride
A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, M-hm, M-hm.
A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride.
I don't know about the courtin' thing but he surely did take a ride.
One day last week after a rainy couple of days I went to the supermarket and when I returned home to empty out my van, this is the little surprise I found lurking inside my van door. I'm not sure what you call that part of the van, but it is the part of the van that the rear of the sliding door slams onto when you close it. Poor froggy, I don' know how it survived there without being "squished". It was just clinging on looking pretty scared. I quickly made a b-line to my camera and snapped this picture.
With the help of a rolled up newspaper, I urged the little fellow down and onto the ground. It quickly hopped away and I knew it would be OK.
That brought back the memory of that folksy song I heard so long ago. I couldn't remember the words so I did a search and came up with many versions of the song. The version I remember is the one I've listed below. I do not know who the author is.
One web site I found that has researched the courtin' froggie tune is here at this link.

Ghost Pin
This is a crafty idea that I had and it turned into a cute little pin. I though I would share how I made these because they would be an easy and fun craft for the kiddies to make with a little adult help.
To make these, you need a white flat marble (found in craft stores), a black permanent felt tip marker, 2 tiny googly eyes, a 2 inch square of white cloth, glue (I use E6000), and a pin for the back.
I pulled a few strands of thread from the edges of the cloth to fringe it a bit. Fold it over from corner to corner to form a triangle. Add a small dot of glue between the inside of the triangle to hold it together.
To make the face, I use an emery board to scuff up the spot where the mouth and eyes will be so the ink and the glue will stick better. I just drew a round or oval shape for the mouth and glued on tiny googly eyes. You could just as well use the ink marker to make the eyes. Let the ink and glue dry. If you have a problem with the ink not sticking, you can spray a light coat of Krylon Fixative on to seal the ink.
Next, glue the head onto the cloth body and glue the pin to the back. That's it.
Instead of making the cloth triangle body, you can cut the body from white felt or white fun foam. Just cut it into a ghostly shape, as I did in the second picture below.
If you wanted to gift these, you could package them in a small zip bag and staple a topper such as the one I made below.
