Christmas Grinch Hands
This past Halloween I shared a craft called spooky skeleton hands. Instead of taking them down, I had an idea that would allow me to keep them through the Christmas season as well.
I really like the Grinch and Grinch decor, and they hands kind of reminded me of Grinch hands. I found all of the supplies I needed at that Dollar Tree except for green gloves. Walmart had some, but when I started looking for them they were already sold out in my area and online. I ordered a pair of adult Grinch gloves from Amazon.
I placed the gloves on the skeleton hands. I used my glue gun and glue the white fabric to the read fabric to look like Santa suit sleeves. I then wrapped the fabric around the base attached to the wall. Since my skeleton hands were palm up, it did not look right to have the hands holding a hanging ornament. Instead I placed a red Dollar Tree ornament in the palm of his hands. I loved how this turned out and it was very easy to put together.

How to make Pie Ornaments
I think these diy pie ornaments are some of my favorite things I have made in a very long time. Not only are they really cute, but they are pretty easy to make, and the items to make them are inexpensive.
I had a lot of positive feedback at our recent holiday market, which made me happy.
I cut each styrofoam circle into six pie pieces. I then rolled out the clay and cut it to fit each of the pie pieces. You will need clay for the bottom crust and the outside crust. One thing that I did not do this time, but will next time is to prop the outside crust with foil to keep it upright. A few of the outside crusts came apart with out it. Before baking the clay you MUST remove the styrofoam before putting it in the oven. (see the first picture) Bake at 275 degrees for 15 minutes.
When the paint was dry, I placed a little bit of spackle in a plastic bag, and added whip cream to each piece of pie.
I only had enough clay to make cherries for one piece of pie. They next time I make cherry pie, I will add some clay pieces on top of the cherries to make it look a little more realistic.
I had enough clay to make three pecan pieces I added the pecans on top of the spackle and once it was dry, I painted it a caramel brown.

It's Market Week!
When I posted last week's Dare to Share party, I said that our market was going to be on Thursday. Normally our markets are the second Thursday of the month, but in November it's a holiday market and on Saturday. Yea! The friend I do markets with owns the bakery and is the one who schedules them, which is why I did realize there was a date change. We are happy to have a few more days to get ready this week, and it will be in the daylight during the market since it is dark by 5:30 where we live.
While I am still in the process of making the ornaments, they are starting to take shape. I will be posting how to make them after the market this weekend. I will also be able to start decorating for Christmas and working on my DIYs.

Last Minute Halloween Ghost Candy Basket
].
I decided to use two white laundry baskets, a white circle plastic tablecloth, black felt, and a clear plastic bowl from the party section. You can use zip ties or tape to connect the baskets with their bottoms together.

It's Party Time! Lets Dare to Share!
One of the things I made this year are tiered baskets that would be great for a Halloween party. They would hold a lot of candy and other goodies. They are relatively easy to make, and all the of the supplies can be found at Dollar Tree.
Another Halloween DIY I made are these spooky skeleton hands that look like they are coming through the wall to Trick or Treat. This DIY is also easy and inexpensive to make. There are a few more DIYs that will be posted in the upcoming week.
