Happy Halloween 2013!

Happy_Halloween_White

We really enjoy Halloween here at Zania.net. To celebrate the festivities, I’ve made some delicious Crisp Candy Corn Treats (click HERE for the Martha Stewart recipe), crafted some DIY mummy jars, decorated my door with our gleeful skeleton, put together a low budget costume for myself but I have yet to carve a pumpkin! Oh well. At least I was able to put together a cute Jack O’Lantern post for all of you to see. If you haven’t seen it, you can check it out HERE.

This year, we’re headed out to Lincoln Road in South Beach, FL  with friends. I will be dressing up as Mary Poppins! I love that Julie Andrews. I’m just going to have to stop myself from singing “just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…” Make sure to follow me on Instagram as I will be sharing my favorite costumes of the night!

What have you done this Halloween? Upload pictures of your crafts, decorations or costumes on my Facebook Page HERE.

Have a Spooky and Safe Halloween!

Aren’t these great?!! They inspire me to do something out of the box with my pumpkin this year! Almost every year my husband and I carve pumpkins. Sometimes we get a little too competitive and more often than not we end up biting off more than we can chew. Needless to say, it ends up being a fun activity. Here are our crafty creations from 2010.

After taking a 2 year hiatus from carving pumpkins due to our wedding and a much-anticipated trip to Europe, we’re ready to get our hands dirty again this year.
