Halloween is every kids dreams, & a lot of parents worst nightmare. First you have to get the costume, then the candy, figure out how to keep them safe & warm, then worry about them all night, & pay for the dentists bills later. We live in the country, so houses are pretty far apart. My church does what we call a “trunk or treat”. Everyone comes & parks their cars in the parking lot & opens up their trunks, where they keep the candy. Then all of the kids go around to each car & go “trunk or treating”. It’s great because they get aren’t out in the cold for too long, don’t get too tired, you know everyone there & can keep an eye on them, but they still get to see their friends & wear their costumes, & get candy! Works for me!

Martha Stewart is amazing. Sarakastic is also amazing, just not in a Martha Stewart kind of way. Sarakastic needs to spend less than nothing on craft projects, & have less than 5 steps in a project. Sarakastic also needs to talk about herself in the third person less. So here are some Halloween crafts from Martha, that I, I mean Sarakastic, could actually handle.

Martha makes even jack-o’-lanterns elegant but looking at them I don’ t know why I haven’t thought of it. I guess that is why she is Martha & I am not. Try a monogrammed, harlequin, or spiral jack-o’-lantern.  These are even pretty enough to line your walk way or use as a centerpiece.

Eight no-sew Halloween costumes.  Even shows how to making a jelly fish outfit from bubble wrap! Then there’s an adorable witch costume out of garbage bags.
