Cupcakes are a must for Halloween and now you have a Festive Halloween Cupcake!

You can use skewers or toothpicks with these picks.  Just insert the toothpick or skewer, tape it down on the back piece, fold and glue just the top of the the two pumpkin pieces and you're done. 

Insert them into whatever kind of food you're serving for a quick Halloween theme. Cookies, cake, pie,  anything at all.  What are you planning for your Halloween party food? Here's a great post where we have 80 fun and delicious recipes for Halloween Treats Click HERE

These Square Pumpkin food picks are double sided so that no matter how you look at them you'll always see this cute, smiling pumpkin!

Isn't it amazing that it only takes a little square pumpkin to improve on this Kid Friendly Cheese and Cracker plate.  It's fun and easy for the kids to grab and eat.  We just took Cheddar Cheese sticks and sliced them at different lengths and put on the plate.  Place the Pumpkin Pics on the side for everyone to use.  It's simple but the kids will love it and it's not a sugary treat.

Use toothpicks in the Pumpkin Pics so you can add them to smaller food plates.  The opening in the food pick is larger enough for a skewer or a toothpick.

You can use these for a simple plate of donuts too. 

Even Little Debbie Snack Cakes look more festive with a Pumpkin Pick

You'll maywant to have something that is a little more healthy at your party too.  This plain fruit kabob is now a Halloween Pumpkin Fruit Kabob! We used honeydew melon, cantaloupe and pineapple to stay within the theme of Halloween colors.  (Green, orange and yellow) 

We have companion pieces to this Square Pumpkin Food Pic in our Etsy shop (Candy Wraps, Cupcake Toppers and Wraps and Straw Flags

Halloween Sign-The Haunted Mansion-Enter if you Dare!

 I've wanted to make this sign for Halloween ever since I saw something similar on Pinterest last Halloween. Determined to get it made this year I started the project at the end of September. My husband (Builder Chad) and I went to our local Habitat store and picked up some of the supplies we needed to build the sign. (see list & prices below)

Head over to our Etsy shop to get the vinyl lettering for this sign.  Click HERE

 The sign and post were painted an antique white. The edges were sanded and then stained with a walnut stain. A hole was drilled in each side of the sign and a chain was added.

Here's a close-up. The sign is made out of a 4x4 fence post and a handrail newel. Builder Chad used a skill saw to cut the notch in the 4x4 to receive the squarel end of the newel . It was painted, sanded and stained it to look old. To put it into the ground some holes were drilled in the bottom of the post and then some pieces of steel rebar were inserted into the holes. He left enough extending out of the post so it could be put into the ground. (actually that was my idea....I thought it was brilliant since it meant no one would have to dig a hole...yeah, I've been known to have a good idea every once in a while)

I knew I was making the sign this year so I got to the local dollar store as soon as they put out their Halloween things so I could get these crows. (I couldn't find any last year)

I hope these dollar store crows hold up in our weather. We may be getting some snow this week.  Well, only time will tell. So let's recap.....Beam $3.00, Newel $2.00, Crows $3.00, Chains $3.00,  Paint (already had it) Stain (already had it)  Get the vinyl over in our Etsy shop  www.itswrittenonthewall.etsy.com

I love having this as part of our outside Halloween decorations. I just hope it doesn't end up in someone else's yard. No, just kidding....but I did have a 4 ft. plastic Christmas Tigger disappear from my front yard one Christmas....and Winnie the Pooh has been down in storage ever since. (poor Pooh)
