We're enjoying the preparations for Halloween this year (helped by the great timing of half-term). Getting inspiration from books from Kristina, magazines from Lynn and the holy grail of Pinterest. Each year, I get more and more into the fun - not so much the dressing up or the trick-or-treating, but the decorations and the spooky food.
What's not to like about an orange with fangs?
Or pudding with a ghost face
Or Oreo pops made to look like jack-o-lanterns (not as easy to do neatly as I thought....)
Oh yes, we are enjoying the build up a great deal.
They're all fab! But I especially love the orange with fangs. He's terrifyingly adorable!

Oooh lots of Martha-y goodness! I'm very embarrassed to admit I have all the October and Halloween issues going back to 1996 and have yet to make any of the projects. Eeek!

Fun! No matter how hard I try, I just can't get into Halloween. I'm a bit bah humbuggy about it much to my children's dismay....

Oooof, that orange was a shock, I turned away from the screen momentarily, & suddenly there it was fangs an' all!
I quite like him now though...

I'd better not let my kids see this post! I'd be very busy for the next few days.

Wow, you're really getting in the spirit - what a fab spooky selection. I love your fanged orange! We've been making fanged pumpkins today inspired by Martha too - very messy but lots of fun! Enjoy your spooky weekend x

how cute! (i know they're not meant to be cute, but you know what I mean).
I just can't get into halloween in this country... call me a party pooper, my kids do.
I won't show them your post or you'll find them at your door (actually it's not a bad idea, they're driving me crazy!!!)

I love your Halloween posts. Admit it - you're not doing it for the children at all, are you?

You put me to shame - all I ever do is carve pumpkins to let the trick or treaters know that we hand out sweets. I'm already feeling the urge to put up Christmas decorations, though.

I'll be REALLY impressed when you start carving turnips like the ancients used to do.
But seriously, everything looks fab! I want to party at YOUR house. xoxo
