Halloween Party On a Budget

First, just let me say, I don’t normally celebrate Halloween, let alone host a Halloween Party.  Yeah, I might display a few ghosts for a few days and let my teenagers dress up and hand out candy, but when I signed up with House Party a few weeks ago and applied for a Borden Cheese sponsored party, I thought, “What the heck, Go for it!”  We did AND we were accepted, so a #Sponsored #BordenCheeseParty it was.

We planned our Halloween Party on a budget, and were in no way compensated for THIS post by Borden Cheese or House Party themselves.

Build A Snowman With Your Child (Using Kitchen Items For a Pattern)

This is a snowman that almost anyone can complete on a snowy afternoon with their child, or even alone, for fun.

I created it because there is nothing like making a memory and masterpiece with your child on a cold, snowy day.

My original plan was much more elaborate and would require special purchases, so I decided to create something from the everyday things around my house instead of spending money and adventuring out in the cold.

This adorable project just needs scrap paper, dishes and utensils found in most kitchens plus lots of imagination.
