Zombie Truffles? Okay, I fell in love with Zombies at the time the movie Fido came out. I'm also a researcher for the ZRS and my husband is the one who got me into these monsters. Those are the reasons behind these Zombie Truffles! There was a part in Fido, where Mr. Theopolis (the neighbor) comes over and says "Zombie Troubles? " and that's where my chocolate brains got their name! ** This is to celebrate May, which is Zombie Awareness Month! ** Most important part to remember, if you use this to gift, or to display, you want to think about your presentation. ** Here is a message from the CDC on the Zombie preparedness topic, and my chocolate video below. :) Recycled Pillow Box Favors. You know that I save toilet paper rolls. They can be made into so many things — mummies, rockets, Uncle Sam hats, flower party favors………………. even cute pillow boxes perfect for a little favor!
Fold in one side of the end. Then fold in the other side. Repeat on other end. Open back up and give the toilet paper roll a bit of paint. Give it a nice shine with a light coat of clear spray paint. Fill with candy and treats, fold back ends. How about some for Halloween?

Tutorial: Homemade Sidewalk Chalk | oh my! handmade goodness.
By Michelle Vackar, Modern Handmade Child One of our favorite outside activities at our home is drawing with chalk on the driveway. You can play hopscotch, four-square, and of course draw and create silly stories. My daughters and I were talking one day as we played hopscotch about how to make chalk and I thought to myself, let’s try it! It ended up being quite a lot of fun. What you will need: • Toilet paper or paper towel tubes • Scissors • Duct tape • Wax paper • Small bucket or disposable container to make the recipe • ¾ cup of warm water • 1 ½ cups Plaster of Paris • 2-3 tablespoons of tempera paint • Paper bag or a “mess mat” ** we made six tubes of chalk – we simply doubled the above recipe Step 1: If you are using paper towel tubes, cut each tube in half, so it is roughly the length of a toilet paper roll tube.
Step 2: Cover one end of each tube with duct table to hold the contents within. Step 3: Cut as many pieces of wax paper as you have tubes.
