Call Me Crazy, But...

Yes, I am already starting Halloween projects!  Halloween is by far my most favorite holiday of the year and with two boys in school this year, there will be 2 sets of class parties.  Rather than wait for the last minute, I threw caution to the wind and actually started whipping some goodies up:
These little goody bags were super easy to make.  In fact, Karen from The Graphics Fairy did a tute on them last year.  I didn't get to make them then so I was happy to this year!  I added the orange ribbon as my finishing touch.
These little tags can easily be tied onto store-bought goody bags.  I printed off the image onto cardstock, cut them out, distressed the edges a bit, added the rhinestone "eyeballs" and finished up with tea-stained seam binding.
I just love combining two faves: French and Halloween.  This great Rats de Cave label was begging to be made into a Halloween apothecary bottle.  Again, print, cut, distress and then add your rhinestones and tea-stained seam binding.

Dare I even start an official countdown to Halloween yet?!  =)  All images courtesy of The Graphics Fairy - thank you as always Karen!
