Hey! My first Halloween swap of 2024. Time to get in the mood. I am excited to start skulking around for ideas.
woo hoo! can’t wait!
Ummm, does anyone know if there is still a way to get into the old craftster stuff? I know I was lucky enough to be partnered with kittykill once before. I don’t want to send her a repeat!
Yayy! Time to plan!
Yay! I’ve been on work retreat mode which was fun but exhausting. Now it’s over and I have time to plan for this swap! ![]()
I think they might be under split coast stampers now. I am gathering ideas. We are having fall weather so i am in full fall/halloween mode.
I have started to plot and plan and purchase a few supplies for some ideas I have. ![]()
Just gott back from a women’s retreat. Ready to start brewing up some creative trouble…
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
…gathering my ingredients.
I was able to pick up supplies yesterday and hoping to start on my project today. So excited!
I have a good start on my project.
Already finished one small project! I’m guessing we can send early if we finish sooner than later
I too have the wheels turning and all the supplies bought, hoping to craft like a mad woman this week and mail out next week.
this is by far my favorite swap ever, every year I make a new friend and for that I am forever grateful
Okay! Check in time!
What was your favorite Halloween costume?
Hmm…my favorite was when I was maybe 7 years old and I put together my princess costume out of hand me down clothing at my grandmas. I have no idea what I looked like and no picture exists but I thought my outfit was very regal and fancy.
Second favorite was from maybe 20 years ago when I dressed as Death from Sandman. I once again pieced the costume together from my wardrobe.
A picture does exist. I think I just looked Goth. Heh.

Beaker and Fozzy!
Steampunk witxh and steampunk engine. 2017 and many times since. I’m the witch and my sweetie is a wizard…very strong. The engine was for Trunk or Treat. And reused several times.
Hard choice. Probably the year hubby and I went as Mr & Mrs Potato Head. Made us felt potato costumes with 3-D Velcro parts, so we could switch them around. It was definitely a fun ice breaker!
One of my favorite characters is Wednesday. Super easy for me since I can find clothes already in my closet to wear. That year my son wanted to be Aang.
I also make most my son’s costumes and my favorite one that sewed was Toothless.
I usually dress as a witch and don’t have a single photo to prove it. ![]()
I love the pics!!!
I am waiting for supplies. They should have been here on Friday. Grrrr!!!
