80 Creative ways to decorate Halloween Pumpkins (photos, videos)



There is a wonderful video from Redbook that shows 20 new and creative ways to decorate Halloween pumpkins.

Combine the 60 patterns at Country Living with the 20 ideas from Redbook, and you're bound to find something that is going to work for your artistic ability and skills, home decor and personality.

Free Kindle Book: Scary Halloween Stories for Kids

There's a free, Kindle book, Scary Halloween Stories for Kids  that's perfect for those looking for ghost stories or spooky tales for kids to read. You can download the Kindle version for free or buy the book at Audible. Halloween has always included ghost stories or scary tales.
