I'm sure they will be very appreciated!<br />I will see if I can find the paper stars that you're taking about. They sound pretty.

I would definitely use a stamp if I had one for the holiday. I purchased some candy with real fruit juice and some bags of chips was going to make Halloween treat bags for my family. Depending on the weather we could go from 40-100. The left over chips my family will eat, the left over candy I usually send with someone to their work place or donate. Frequently it is requested by service groups for kids Christmas parties to put in their stockings.<br />Speaking of brown paper lunch bags for the last couple of years we have made with glue, scissors and some staples or paper clips the most AMAZING paper stars. Directions can easily be found online and generally it takes 12 lunch bags to make these intricate stars that are reminiscent of snowflakes when cut out. We are making them to bring as decorations to a Christmas party and inviting the participants to take them home.TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194180600450413539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-26521682217775307632022-10-26T13:29:39.436-07:002022-10-26T13:29:39.436-07:00Hi Live and Learn,

One year, we had a grand total of 8 trick-or-treaters. That's how few we can get. It depends on the weather and day of week. The last couple of years, the weather was good/dry and the holiday fell over the weekend. This year, the forecast is for lots of rain, highs around 49 F/lows around 40 F, so the evening could be chilly and wet. I recall taking my kids out when it was so cold even with mittens on my hands froze due to the rain soaking through the knit. So, we'll see. As for what's going in the bags -- some candy, stickers, temporary tattoos, and party favor stampers, all stuff from the dollar store (except candy -- I bought that at our Kroger affiliate early in the season when they had a sale and at WinCo from the bulk bins).Lilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-74042972619437815512022-10-26T03:47:35.577-07:002022-10-26T03:47:35.577-07:00We get too many kids to pass out bags, but I'm...We get too many kids to pass out bags, but I'm sure they will be appreciated by your neighborhood children. One of our neighbors used to pass out bags to my kids and they loved them. What are you going to put in them?Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
