We hope you all had a suitably scary halloween, and just to freak you out even more - there's only eight weeks until Christmas! Ahhhh! And for those of you in North America Thanksgiving is just around the corner too, so we've come up with a few new designs to help you celebrate the holidays:
These cute fingerprint designs are a great activity for young and old. Family leave fingerprints and sign their name on the turkey feathers or Christmas tree. A great decoration for years to come and the perfect way to remember your family get together.
Available from the i do it yourself shop.
How amazing is this dessert table, and it just goes to show simple ideas are often the best. Just cut out some trees from black craft paper and add in a few store bought halloween silhouettes of bats and owls - or make your own. The whole spooktacular set up can be found on Hello Brielle. Love the meringue ghosts!
Here's a gorgeous ghostly idea - ghost cake toppers. Just some skewers, cotton balls, cheese cloth and thread. It's so simple its scary! Check out A Beautiful Mess for the wicked recipe.
One of the things I love about Halloween is with a few simple tricks you can turn the ordinary into the gory - especially when it comes to food. Just popping a little sign on things can make for some seriously disgusting fun. Like these rat brains, also known as candied walnuts.
Stuffed cockroaches anyone? Just fill some pitted dates with cream cheese.

Lychee eyeballs are as simple as stuffing a peeled lychee with a blueberry, a cherry or an olive. Great on their own or serve them in drinks.
