I have always been collecting new and old issues of Woman's Day and Family Circle magazines. I love their craft ideas for every occasion and celebration and the photo spreads are pretty to boot. I keep a basket of these magazines in my craft room for easy reference. They are very handy when I feel the need to be inspired. After all, crafter's block happens! It's always lovely to have pretty, crafty pictures to look at when creative juices run low.

This October, check out these fantastic halloween crafts from Woman's Day online. I have made the Scarecrow Basket many years back and it's great! I think I'll make a fresh one this year!







For last minute halloween costumes for the munchkins, there's plenty of great ideas here. For halloween parties, scare your friends silly with a Blood Drive Game. There are more fun games, crafts, and decor to make from Woman's Day's All Things Halloween central.

Meanwhile check out some of my favorite halloween party activities and crafts from Family Circle/Parent's Magazine:








Woman's Day has a Pumpkin Carving Photo Contest too! Show off your pumpkin carving skills and get a chance to win a two-night getaway to Inn by the Sea in Portland, ME.

Happy October everyone! Let the halloween crafting begin!

P.S. Now for a piece of ghoulish good news, I won 3rd prize (a cute witching pack) from Florspace Great Halloween Giveaway! Yippee! *doing a ghostie dance* Thank you Florspace ETSY!
