A sad tale's best for winter...
It has been one year since the son of a good friend passed. He was incredibly talented and well loved by many in the Haunt industry. I had the privilege to walk through FrightTown last fall to see the last haunted house Cody designed with his parents, brother, his son Ian, and Ian's mother. It was a wonderful haunt but it reminded me yet again how loved ones can pass on in an instant. Making sure people around me know how they make my life better was how I honored his passing this past year.
We are still hosting the donation page for the trust established for Cody's son Ian. Please follow the link below to make a donation.

We carry several of the items by Bethany Lowe including the fabric used for the tablecloth in this photo. Nice clip art and easy to use patterns for making a variety of old fashion decorations. The felt bat ornaments are my favorite craft project.

The Big Book of Halloween: Creative & Creepy Projects for Revellers of All Ages
by Laura Dover Doran
The witchy lampshade is one of many easy to make projects. Bought this book originally on impulse for the 5 page vintage Halloween section. Costumes, recipes, and ghost stories. Used copies are cheap so its worth adding to your Halloween craft book collection.
