If you are like me, you have a lot of left over tin cans. They have a lot of uses, pencil holders, craft organizers, I have even cut out the top and bottom and screwed it to the barn wall to hold brooms and rakes! However, today I am going to share a much more fun use for tin cans. Check out these cute cans!

 If you are like many households, you are drowning in candy after Halloween. Whether it's from your children's haul or left overs because you bought to much or didn't have many kids, you look at all that chocolate and think "what am I going to do with all this?" Well, I have a great idea for what you can do with all that chocolate candy, though I have to confess, it's NOT any less fattening, it's creative, pretty and really delicious! 
I love making Halloween decorations! I have to force myself not to make them the whole month of October, because if I did that, I would have to start renting a storage space just to house them! That being the case, I have to carefully choose only the coolest crafts to make, and this one definitely qualifies. I saw this on You Tube and I immediately knew I had to do it. The ghosts are adorable to sit or to hang! The shirts are really spooky and great to sit in the corner of any room. This is how to make them..... 
I saw something really awesome today, for Halloween. Actually it would be awesome any time, but it is especially fun around Halloween time. Shrunken head apple cider! Imagine walking over to a lovely punch bowl to get some cider, looking down and seeing a little shriveled human head floating around in it! How ghoulish is that and how perfect for any Halloween get together! It will freak out your guests and make them scream with delight. It looks so cool and it's easy to do, let me show you how!
 I ran across such a cute idea a few days ago. I saw it on You Tube, when I was looking for another sewing video. It is such an easy and cute idea, it is just perfect for so many Halloweeny functions where you want to be a bit in the spirit of the season without showing up in a full costume. After doing a bit more digging, I found a couple other projects that are also easy and fun, so I decided to include them. 
April 30th is Walpurgis Night
What ? You Never Heard of It ? Then Read On....
Ancient legends say that Walpurgis night was the last wintery night for witches and their minions to make trouble and pull pranks, before the start of Spring. It is said that the evil creatures would gather on Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz Mountains in central Germany, to celebrate.
It is said that Walpurgis was the one night of the year when evil magic was strongest and the line between the real world and the underworld was at it's weakest. This allowed the witches and their minions to cast spells and play tricks on humans much more easily and that is why they are always out looking on Walpurgis night for humans gullible enough to fall for their tricks. 
At Home or Trick or Treating, Make Sure Your Dog is Safe
Halloween can be a perilous time for dogs. Decorations, extension cords, candles and all that candy can be dangerous to any pet, Halloween night especially can be very stressful on your pets, especially dogs. Most dogs are protective of their home and their people, so rings at the door mean potential danger from strangers, to a dog. Repeated doorbell rings can create a state of agitation that can do everything from make your dog physically sick to make them unusually aggressive or prone to bite.
Keeping your dog (and your neighborhood kids) safe on Halloween is a fairly easy thing to do with a little bit of planning. 
This is a great project for kids and the result looks great, even if the eyes are not exactly symmetrical or the same size, it just makes them look more scary! A fun and easy Halloween craft for the whole family, here is how they are made:
