I’ve gotten really into Halloween the past few years. I mean, really into Halloween. I ordered our costumes in September. (I’m the Queen of Hearts and Scarlett’s Alice in Wonderland. Dan? Well, he’s the distracted Dad trailing behind us trying to eat the good stuff out of the pillow case!) I bought the decorations for the house last week and put them up this past weekend. I got spider muffin papers for my home baking projects for Scarlett’s school snacks, and, just today, got 300 pieces of candy for the trick or treaters. I’m ready! Except for maybe one last thing.

This set of four halloween stencils may be the one novelty my arsenal is missing. I’ve already decided I can put a icing sugar pumpkin on pancakes and a spider web of cinnamon on oatmeal. I mean the uses are endless. Do I need them? No. But how much fun would it be if I had them?! $4.86 at crateandbarrel.com
