SPOOKY TOOL BOX

I've had a little wooden tool box for ages.  I don't really think it's that old, but it is rough.  As in, the wood is really rough on the front and back of it.  I decided to try to decoupage a picture on to the front.  Because the grain on it is so deeply grooved, I needed to use something thin and flexible.  I thought I'd try using a cute napkin that was left over from a long ago Halloween Party.  It was perfect!  

 I love the way that it sunk down into the wood grain and still left the design of the napkin visible.  It's kind of ethereal looking which is what you want when your looking at ghosts, right? I trimmed it out with a little bit of black ribbon on the front edges. It was kind of hard to get a good picture of it because the mod podge left it kind of shimmery as well.  
I think I'll fill it with candy and put it by the front door.  We live in the country so we don't get any trick-or-treaters except my niece and nephew and the grandchildren.  Here is a photo of my favorite little witch, my niece Jessica.  She made her own costume!

She wants to do some crafting with me!  You'll be seeing her again!

I also want to let you know that my friend Marci, from Stone Cottage Adventures, made my Caramel Corn recipe and put her own spin on it!  If you were wondering if you could make it with real popcorn, go over and check her recipe out!  It looks and sounds amazing!  (I'm going to be meeting Marci in person soon and I'm very excited!  She'll be the second blogger I'll actually get to meet!)   You know I'll be posting about that!  If you aren't familiar with Stone Cottage Adventures, you might want to be, she does some very awesome stuff!

Linky Up to any or all of these fine parties:
