Fall is Here!

"Fall is here!  Fall is here!

It's my favorite time of year

Football games and falling leaves
I'll take mine with turkey please"

It's that time of year set aside to think about falling leaves and all things pumpkin!  Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice, pumpkin spiced latte, pumpkin potpourri, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies and just plain pumpkins.

Are you a pumpkin person?  A football person?  How about a Halloween person?

Well, it's time to get your craft on this fall and get into the Fall spirit!  I thought I would put links to some of the Fall Halloween crafts and Costumes that I've blogged about in the past.  Some of these are great ideas to do with little kids and some are great to do with your Girl Scout Troop!

Easy Halloween Costume

Halloween is tomorrow!  Do you have your costume yet?  

Well, you know I have your back when it comes to last minute Halloween costumes.  I'm all for the quick and easy costumes.  This post is for those of you who like to procrastinate  live on the edge  forgot it was Halloween.

I have four easy costumes ideas that you can make with items that you probably have around the house.   If you don't have some of these items, you can make a quick trip to the store to pick up what you need so you will be ready for trick or treating tomorrow.

This year I thought I would be a Target employee for Halloween.  I have the red shirt, khaki pants and gym shoes.  This costume is pretty easy to throw together.

Supplies needed:

Red shirt

khaki pants

gym shoes

white label (square or oval)

red and black markers

scissors 

pencil

face mask*

*this is for a 2020 Target employee

Target name badges are oval in shape.  If your blank white label is square, use your pencil to draw an oval.  Within the oval, draw a black line across to divide the oval in half.  Write your name in black marker above the line.  The line itself should also be black.  Below the line, draw the Target logo (a bulls eye) and write Target in red block letters.  Attach the label to your shirt (left chest).  Don't forget to put on your mask!

And, you are ready for  work  Halloween!

I put this on and Bella said I really look like a Target employee!

Happy Halloween!
