Boo!!!

Hi all
Tonight I have been finishing up my little Halloween treats for the staff at my two schools (well over 100 treats). When you have to make that many, you have to keep it simple, and that is what I did.  This container is four candies deep.

Yep!! I used the owl punch (can you see that he is upside down?)  Then I cut the feet off each one.  I used a teardrop hand held punch to make eyes.  Next, I used the "happy halloween" stamp from the Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370, pg 157,  $36.95) stamp set (that set has sooo many great phrases!!  24 to be exact!) but the trick was the phrase was too wide for the ghost .....soooo  I only inked up the word "happy" and stamped all the ghosts.  Then I cleaned the stamp and inked up only the word "halloween" and stamped it on each ghost. Added a bit of adhesive and stuck a chocolate candy on the back (nuggets and mini bars).  It isn't a huge treat of course, but who doesn't enjoy an unexpected little chocolate.  I love the many ways this owl punch can be used.
Have you contacted me yet to sign up for the next Christmas stamp a stack class scheduled for Nov 7th?  Remember you need to pre-register and pre-pay for that class by October 31st because of all the supplies I need to prep for you  to make the 20 cards!!
Also, check out the current bundle sale information I posted earlier this week.
