I would love to be part of this exchange. My Mom or Grandma made our costumes when we where children. Nothing too scary, a gypsy or ballerina. My favorite movie is Its a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I like to decorate with pumpkins and scarecrows. My grandchildren have a log cabin in the back. We fill the loft with pumpkins and their light makes for a spooky enough glow. We have a party under the maple tree. They put a stuffed Miss Fiona (a great children's book about an old lady who serves pumpkin pie on Halloween night.) and Nana always serves pumpkin pie at the party. We love the M&M and Reeses peanut butter cups wrapped in fall colors. And we make all sorts of fall crafts, that we use to decorate year after year.
Everyday is a new beginning. |

Kimberly...I tried to email you and it didn't work for some reason...but can you give a bit more details
on suggestions for the goodie-bag? Kind of what you had in mind when you thought of the idea.
Thanks and you are right we aren't so very far from each other!
Blessings,

Well, the ideas for the goodie bag can really be anything that says "Halloween" to you and would match up with the answers your partner gave. For example, if your partner doesn't like scary movies or really loves chocolate, you could take that into account. If your partner is into crafts, maybe putting together a little kit for them (making a pincushion, a softy, a washcloth, etc.). You could include a favorite autumn recipe, mulling spices, Halloween candles, a cute pin or earrings, whatever sounds fun! Feel free to trade more information with your partner to get a good idea of what she likes best.

I would love to participate.
I dressed up and still do as funny things. Went as a sack of garbage wore big black trash bag stuffed with batting. hung old pieces of lettuce, carrots and other trash on it put a big rubber rat on my shoulder right by a piece of food and kept a bulb in my hand that made the rat jump when people got close. Black leggings & tennis shoes, Granny Goodwitch, Raggedy Ann, etc. Always homemade from whatever I have.
I decorate my home with pumpkins,my grandkids and I make handkerchief ghosts with smiling faces, sweet witches, etc. Nothing really scary. Lots of fall leaves etc.
I don't know of any halloween movies
The soft peanut butter candies wrapped in orange and black paper are my favorite but I like most anything.
I make little cloth bags with ribbon draw strings and put faces on them to look like jack-o-lanterns and fill them with candy, I have made wooden tic tac toe games and made the pieces out of wood also in the shape of little pumpkins, cats, etc., Hard candy suckers made in halloween shapes, make peanut butter sandwiches, grilled cheese, etc and cut out moons, jack-0-lantern faces, etc on them and also make and decorate cookies.
Life is full of special surprises |

HI,
Please sign me up. I am new to this farm girl forum.
I would love to join in the Halloween goodie bag.
It may take me a little to get the jest of the program, but if you can bear with me I will try to learn as fast as I can.
Childhood costume I remember the most was Raggy Ann and Andy.I didn't like scary ones.
My favorite movie is Nightmare before Christmas. I have watched it so many times. Love it.
I decorate with bugs and spiders and cute pumpkins.
Favorite halloween treat is peanute butter cups and crispy treats. Also hard kinds of candy such as nerds or spree anything fun.
I am not crafty but I love to do cards and stamping up. I like novelty decorations , candles and weird candy dishes.
This will be so much fun.
toad
Happy Halloween.
