We did the milk jugs last year, except we used glow sticks instead of Christmas lights. They turned out amazing! A orange glow sticks will give you perfect pumpkins. We also did purple witches and green Frankenstein’s monsters too.

The 4 pages of potion labels are not free. Your options are 1 page of free blank lables and/or buy the set for $1.99. Also, there are 2-3 windows that open up to finally get to the product and for me when checking out it opens yet another window to say my connection is not safe. It’s my home computer yet I have all of the necessary protection for my computer. So kind of disappointed that I can’t even get the ONE free page..

Not a good idea with the spider rings…choking hazard.

The link to the Halloween photo banner is not working! I’m so sad! I’ve had this in my house for years and keep adding to it, but now I can’t use it! Any ideas of how I can access?
Thanks so much for the great content!
