Halloween Freebies

Hi all, don't forget to enter my jewelry giveaway in the previous post.

Thought I would give you crafty moms who make your kids Halloween costumes some ideas.

Halloween Makeup Recipes :

For Halloween, use makeup instead of a mask. Masks obstruct vision and children find it hard to breath when wearing them. Here you will find three recipes to make your own makeup.

Corn Syrup Blood

16 oz. White corn syrup 1 oz. red food coloring 1 oz. washing detergent 1 oz. water A drop of blue food coloring
Mix the ingredients together and voila - blood. Remove the washing up liquid if you want to make edible blood. Adding condensed milk makes it less transparent and more like real blood. The blood is extremely sticky and can stain skin and clothes so makes sure its washed off quickly. Use a stain remover on clothes.

Face Paint Recipe

1 tsp corn starch 1/2 tsp water 1/2 tsp cold cream 2 drops food coloring as desired
Mix ingredients and apply.

Clown Make-up
2 tsp white shortening5 tsp corn starch1 tsp white all purpose flourglycerin as directedFood coloring as desired
Mix together the shortening, corn starch and flour. Add 3 to 4 drops of glycerin to make the mixture creamier. Apply.

Celene's Treasure Chest Giveaway Winner

Hi ya'll. The winner of the sign Giveaway at Celene's Treasure Chest is Penny from Miss Pootsie's Primitives and Glad Tidings Primitives and Folk Art. Congrats Penny. Everyone needs to check out her blogs. She has the cutest hand-did prim dolls. Make sure you bookmark my blogs and check back often as I plan to have ongoing giveaways.

I have not been blogging lately because I have been so busy with my business, craft shows, and my husband's mother, Martha has had a stroke. She is actually doing pretty great considering, Praise the Lord, but the hubby had to fly out to Washington for a week, so it's all been on me to get things done. Your prayers for Martha will be appreciated. Neither my mother-inlaw or father-inlaw are saved so please pray that God will use this stroke for His glory in thier lives.

On Friday I am flying to Sacramento for a really exciting family reunion of sorts. My 82 year old mom and my 3 sisters and I are taking a trip to visit my mom's last remaining sibling. My Aunt and cousins are excited we are all coming so they and their families as well as most of my cousins from all over the country have decided to make it a huge family shindig! Should be dozens and dozens of us all in one place at one time! Scaaarrryyy! LOL That doesn't happen often. Actually, it's never happened before so we are all really excited. I'll try to keep you up on what's happening on our trip as much as time allows.

Til next time...God Bless,

Celene
