October Harvest

Hay rides, carved pumpkins, trick-or-treat, leaves in red-yellow-and-orange, crisp nights that you can sleep through with the windows open .... and a fun month to entertain your book club.

You know my motto - keep it simple.
The host can buy adorable pre-made trick or treat bags in a packet of 12 or so at the local dollar store, or have her kids decorate them over a weekend. One for each book club member. I don't have kids but I do love a craft project so I chose to decorate paper bags with construction paper cut outs and some bling around the names.

Then, have each book club member bring their favorite trick-or-treat surprise (enough for everyone) and secretly have each member put a treat in each bag. At the end of the night ... each member goes home with a wicked, fun treat bag and some childhood memories. Does it get any better than that?

Hugs and halloween fun.

  1. Instead of candy you can always put bookmarks in the bags. A fun - no-calorie - alternative to chocolate and sticky halloween snacks.

    That being said --- who can pass up a caramel apple or popcorn ball. Now that's a halloween treat!

  2. My kids will have a blast working on those bags for my meeting.

    Thanks.
