Halloween Stockings!
Just when I thought that I was done writing about Halloween, I remembered the fun Halloween stockings that I bought for my children last year at a Craft Fair! When I found these adorable stockings, I knew they would be a great way to bestow some small Halloween treats in a decorative and reusable way. (Click on the photo to see a larger image.)
I attempted to find an on-line source for Busy Bee readers who might want to buy stockings like mine, but had no luck at all! What I did find was a website that sells a cute pattern to make your own Halloween stockings. If you’re handy with a sewing machine, take a look at this pattern and consider creating these unique pieces for your children! (homespunhearth.com, pattern number ZP-A0039, $15.49)
But, if sewing is NOT one of your talents (it’s definitely not one of mine!), consider purchasing the materials and have a seamstress (or a kind relative) make them for you!
Since Halloween is really right around the corner, this clever idea might not be practical for October 31, 2007, but keep it in mind for 2008!
Do you have a fun idea for Halloween that you’d like to share? I’d love to hear!

My mom made all of her grandchildren Halloween stockings since she is always trying to figure out what to put all of the treats into. We don’t need another plastic container. The kids just love finding out what is inside the stocking. Plus it eliminates extra Halloween bags. Another fun thing I do is I put lunch box notes in my kids lunchbox around Halloween and other occasions. They are little notes I printed up on the computer that tells Halloween jokes or says Boo! on them. They also can be downloaded from the computer - if you look up lunch box notes - The wesite is activityvillage.co.uk
My kids just love getting a little surprise with their lunch.
