Gearing up for Halloween

So many blogs have great Halloween ideas lately. I'm trying to decide what our costumes will be this year. I don't want to be making them last minute like last year.

I have a feeling I will be making these bags from How Does She. She shows you how to make them in a guest post over on eighteen25. They'd be cute for gift bags, but also for Trick-or-Treating:

If you're having a small party, or want to make simple gifts, what about this play-dough? Another guest poster, Ashley from Under the Sycamore, shares how to do this on eighteen25.

Or do you just want to decorate for Halloween? You can learn how to make these wall plaques over at eighteen25. It's from another guest blogger Craft-O-Maniac. Head over to either blog to get more fabulous Halloween ideas.
