Halloween Project: Meet the Punkin Bros.

Ok since the warm weather has got me making tons of stuff for my Halloween haunt this year I'd like to introduce my latest creation. Meet Grim:

Grim is one of two paper mache pumpkins I made. Although Grim isn't completely finished you can get an idea of what he'll look like when checking out his brother Grimey:


Grimey is older than Grim (about 2 yrs difference) This punkin was more like a test run before making the newest one. Although Grimey isn't suitable for outdoors, Grim will be which will be perfect for my Sleepy Hallow Scarecrow as I mentioned in a previous post.

Root Beer Pork Chops

Yea, I thought the same thing. Root Beer and Pork? So I gave it a shot and it was surprisingly good. They complement each other very well. If you head on over to Weekly Meal Deal you can find the full recipe and details.

Hint: If you are a frequent target shopper you can snag Hormel Pork Chops for 3.49lb this week and Pepsi Product 12 Packs are Buy 3 Get 1 Diet Pepsi Free. This should save you some $$ when buying the stuff you need for this meal.

Warm Weather Means Halloween Time!!!

As most of you can tell by now I am a Halloween fanatic. I start during the summer each year to build my props and decorations for the season. As I promised, I will start posting tutorials on what I'm making. Hopefully this will get your creative juices flowing and you will concoct props of your own. Feel free to post a comment on what you are doing this year and share your ideas. It's a Halloween free-for-all!!


I will begin my prop posts with my first prop I made for the season. This is a scarecrow constructed much like the one from the film Sleepy Hallow. It was super cheap and adds great character to your haunt. You can find the full tutorial HERE from Halloweenforum.com

Finally Up on Etsy!!!

For those of you interested in purchasing any of Mr. Crafty's goods you can now head over to Etsy at this link and buy them!!! After a long debate, I decided to jump on the bandwagon with my fellow crafters and see what Etsy has to offer. Besides, ebay was becoming more problematic than convenient.


Take Care
