Messy Messy Fail - Wow I really got behind by almost a month - I should have never said anything about catching up!Tidy Victory - I have gotten really good at giving myself gel nail manicures at home! I purchased a UV light with a starter set of colors from a local friend on FB marketplace, figured out how to do it and voila - pretty nails for work and weekends!
Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party #503! It's Niki from Life as a LEO Wife here, back again, choosing the features for the month of October. It's the last weekend of October, so I wanted to share some ideas that you can use on Halloween this Tuesday. Set up a fun Halloween dinner for your family, create some last-minute decorations, or make some spooky snacks for your child's Halloween classroom party. Let's get into it!

This Week's Features
Patty over at Life is Better Lakeside created this beautiful dancing skeleton tablescape that I think is just fabulous! You have to go over and check it out because there are so many cute things on the table that you just can't see in this photo. Things like skeleton hand napkin rings, different scenes on each bread and butter plate, and serving platters on the ends of the table. Her house is deemed the "skeleton house" in the neighborhood, and I think they named it well!
If you need a quick, easy, and inexpensive treat to send for your child's Halloween classroom party, then these Reese's cup and pretzel witch brooms, made by Jen of Cincy Shopper, are just what you're looking for! Her tutorial shows you how to make these cuties in just a few minutes . There's also a recipe that you can print out and add to your recipe book, but I think once you make these, you'll remember how to do it forever!
This feature isn't Halloween per se, but this Italian sausage in cabernet sauce recipe, by What's Cookin' Italian Style Cuisine, looks like the perfect Halloween dinner to serve your family or party guests! Doesn't it look like fingers?! My family and I will be doing our Halloween family movie night where we have themed food, I make printables (see yesterday's post to get yours for free) with food and drink tent cards, decor, invites, games, and more, and this recipe would be perfect for our celebration! The post says that you could serve it over rice, pasta, make a sandwich, etc. Check out the recipe to see all the options!
This easy Dollar Tree Halloween wreath made by Emily of Hunny I'm Home is the perfect last-minute wreath for you to make and hang on your door to welcome trick or treaters. It's looks so super simple, like something you could make in under 15 minutes! All you need is a wreath form, black spider web to fluff the base, black creepy cloth, and embellishments. Check out her tutorial to see how easily put all of this together!
This Beetlejuice gnome Halloween scarf made by T'onna of Sew Crafty Crochet is a great scarf for you to get started on for next year since Beetlejuice 2 will be coming out! It would also be great to wear during your Beetlejuice Halloween family movie night (go all out with food, drinks, decor, games & more). T'onna is always making adorable scarves for every season and holiday, so be sure to check her post out for this tutorial and other great ideas!
