I hope you all had a wonderful night of tricks and treats. The day after any holiday is the best time to get good deals on items for next year at a great price. Take inventory of what you have and buy a few extra treats for school parties etc, just remember to sign up for that holiday next year!!
If you are hosting thanksgiving or need a teachers treat, look for discounted leaf, pumpkin and even turkey cookie cutters at your craft stores. Only the 2 -3 inch size will be needed for a great and easy favor I will post in the next few weeks. Also start collecting wine corks and large empty mason jars  that will become useful for the holiday season.

Don’t only think about items to buy, last year I acquired a cute pair of 3 foot spider posters that Toys R Us was throwing away in order to put up their Christmas singage. I simply asked them if I could have them, a great way to recycle!!
Also I wanted to share the pictures of “eyeballs” that I received from readers after reading the Pretzel treats entry. Feel free to email me your special holiday treats to share.
