full moons

Last night's full moon and some howling winds cast a spooky pallor on our town. Which got me thinking about October's classic holiday, Halloween.

If I were superorganized, I probably would not have waited until the month was upon us to start pondering costumes, decorations, and party foods. Because I am just merely organized, I rely heavily on the Internet for ideas and inspiration. And one of the first places to look when in a pinch is good old Martha. :-)

For do-at-home Halloween ideas, she does not disappoint. At Halloween Central there are ideas for pumpkin carvings, costumes, decorations and crafts, tons of ghoulish (but tasty!) recipes, and free clip art for invitations, party favors, and even the cool lanterns pictured here. Everything you need in one place, awesome! Now, should we have the "I Scream Sandwiches" or the Graveyard Cake for dessert? They both look positively creepy. In a good way, of course. :-)
