I don’t mean to frighten anyone, but it’s almost September, which will be all too quickly followed by October, which means if you haven’t yet, you’d better start thinking about Halloween decorations!  You’ll be glad I reminded you, because it will give you plenty of time to save up a  collection of empty milk jugs.  Then you can head over to eighteen25, where crafty sisters Jamie, Jodie, and Jennifer share how they made this row of spooky Jack-O-Lantern jugs, inspired by a project they saw in FamilyFun.  They’ll look great lining your sidewalk to greet trick-or-treaters!  [how to make milk jug jack-o-lanterns]
