This weekend we're gearing up for the big ol' pumpkin fest over at Notes from the Cookie Jar.

What's to come this weekend and next week.....

-how to make a skeleton from empty gallon milk jugs

-more milk jug crafts for Halloween....who says you can't decorate, save money, and recycle too?!

-how to create a headless mummy from your kid's old clothes

-I'm whipping up some chocolate thin mint cookies, at the request of readers (AND you can vote for next week's cookie)

-Pumpkin carving! Let's hope I keep all my fingers.

-caramel corn! Mmm....yummy.

-a recipe for cranberry orange compote to go with your Thanksgiving turkey (for you Americans!)

And much, much more!
