Isn't this the cleverest open-faced grilled cheese you've ever seen?
Let your goblins cut the shape of a Jack 'O Lantern face out of a slice of cheddar cheese. Place it on a toasted English muffin and smear it with a smidge of barbecue sauce. Broil until cheese is melted and add a little green onion stem.
This would be good for a quick dinner for excited trick or treaters who won't/can't sit still for a complete meal. They are just going to be sick later anyway after eating all that candy. Found @ Prudence Pennywise
I love this DIY paper craft (with tutorial) so much. You will be the hit of any Halloween Party holding this up to your face!
Say goodbye to uncomfortable plastic masks or sweaty (and ill-smelling) latex hoods. Put a little craft into your costume this year and have a ghoulishly good time doing it.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN...Make some of these cookies for Friday's big holiday if you have time. These are cut with a standard Gingerbread Man Cookie Cutter and iced like skeletons. Aren't they wonderful?
One of my readers (Gal Friday) was inspired by this post and she made a whole batch of skeletons and one ghost. See her cookies here.

I am definitely not ready for this. I am sure it will stop snowing just as quickly as it started (I hope). The same thing happened last year before the leaves were off the trees; but in 2007 it was a blizzard. I don't think this flurry will be that bad. This is just a preview of what's to come.
BOOOO! I found a few really nice vintage Halloween postcards while surfing the internet last week. The last one is my favorite. Which one do you like best?
Choose your candidate. Some Halloween fun for the office, school, or home. (If you don't want to wear your mask you can glue or tape a paint stirring stick on the back and just hold it up to your face.)
This is an Equal Opportunity Download for OBAMA or McCAIN DON'T FORGET TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4th! Thanks ~ forbes.com
I have never even heard of MC Yogi and I don't normally like rap music. In fact, I really dislike it. I do however like this wonderful video. It gave me chills. Watch it ~ you will be glad you did.
I don't even know how I found it...I was searching on Google for something entirely different. These things just FIND ME and I am so glad this one did. ENJOY!
Did you recognize Obama's inspiring speech from the 2004 Democratic National Convention? Vote For Hope was written to encourage and inspire the hip hop generation—and everyone—to get involved, and contribute their time, energy, creativity, and other resources to be the change they want to see in the world. "Vote for Hope" was written by M.C. Yogi and produced by Robin Livingston. The "Vote for Hope" video was created at Ursa Minor Arts and Media in San Rafael, CA with chief animator James Curtis, using designs and direction from M.C. Yogi. Video funded and supported by grassroots donations.
MC Yogi rocks! Please consider putting this video on your blog. No need to link to me...just help get the message out!
I have no idea what this photo is all about. There is a black thing almost floating in mid-air on desktop. Microphone, blackberry, big black crayon; what did McCain drop? Interesting weird body language.
Some of my FINE BINDINGS. I love everything about books...the way they look, the way they feel, and the way they smell. I have been an avid collector of Antiquarian Books for ages. I guess there are more books in the world than almost anything else ~ except plastic bags! I am passionate about the environment; I was "green" before it was trendy and way before climate change showed its ugly face. I recycle everything I can and generate only one small bag of real garbage in a week's time. I believe all antique collectors and dealers practice recycling in a very real way. Try it, you'll like it!
I needed this photo for my ebay site and this was the only way I could add text and save it for uploading when I am selling books.
