Beautiful Painted & Decoupaged Pumpkins


Who doesn't love decorating with pumpkins in autumn and of course for Halloween? 
How about trying something new this year? Instead of carving a pumpkin, 
try painting or decoupaging it instead. 

The basic decoupage supplies that you will need are: decoupage 
medium (Mod Podge is commonly the chosen decoupage medium of the masses),
a wide brush or sponge brush to apply the decoupage medium, and of course you 
will need whatever material you plan on applying to your pumpkin. Some ideas
include: paper party or guest napkins, lightweight material scraps, paper images, 
sheet music, and tissue paper. 

For painted pumpkins, you can use a variety of different types of paint, from basic
household spray paint (please follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and 
work in a well-ventilated area, such as outside), to acrylic craft paint. Check out a
few of my favorite painted and decoupaged decorate pumpkin inspirations 
below and maybe you'll be inspired to create a unique pumpkin too!

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Candy Corn But Were Afraid To Ask


I am going to admit up front that I've never been a huge fan of candy corn.
But it's always there. 

Each time autumn arrives, candy corn is sure to follow! 

My own opinion of candy corn was most likely formed as a child. When Halloween
and Trick or Treat came around, most friends had their favorites that they
hoped to get on Trick or Treat night. Reese's, Snickers...my personal favorite were 
those B-B-Bats of taffy that came in chocolate, strawberry,
peanut butter and my favorite: banana (remember these?)



In any case, I don't think I ever heard any of my friends or classmates exclaim,
"I hope I get a lot of candy corn!" 
It just never happened. 

But candy corn is traditional.
It has become part of our culture and it is expected.
And it doesn't taste bad!

Did you know that October 30th is National Candy Corn Day? 
Now you do. 

According to TLC's article "What is candy corn and how is it made?" by Stephanie Watson,
"Candy corn is a sweet replicate of dried corn kernels. It's considered "mellow cream,"
a name for a type of candy made from corn syrup and sugar that has a marshmallow-like
flavor. although candy corn tastes rich, it's actually fat-free."

Awesome Halloween Home Decorating Ideas


I love a good scare, don't you?
I also love how people find such joy in decorating their homes for holidays...
In this case, Halloween! 

Whether you like to decorate your home indoors or outdoors, there are
tons of great Halloween props that you can make yourself at little
or no cost. The key is to find some inspiration and then let your creativity
run wild. Some hints: Shop thrift stores for materials you can use such as old 
clothes for scarecrows, or for cloth material remnants (think sheets, tulle) to build
your own ghoul. Some thrift shops also have a Halloween costume section, so be 
sure to check that out too. 

Check out my picks for the most creative and unusual Halloween decorations!
