I use toe tags a lot. The first one is from 2006 and the second one is the one we will be using this year (still need to add the string)

Handy Hunter... great invite! How did you put the date on the actual stake? Did you burn it in, or is it ink?

Hey Snickers,

I used my handy-dandy wood burner to put the date on the stake. If you have never done it, it is really easy. I printed the date out in a font I liked on my computer, and then used carbon paper to transfer the image onto the stake. Then I just traced over it with the wood burner.

Wood burners are really cheap too. Mine cost me $12, and it's probably the best $12 I have ever spent. I use it all the time.

I dont post much but wanted to get your thoughts on these invites we are working on. I saw Tallua_g's plastic ware and napkin bags that look like blood bags and thought it would make a cool invite. Then we saw the blood bag candies on Oriental Tranding Co, ordered a pack and they are too small. Then we thought...we have a food saver...we can make our own! The one we made this morning actually has tea in it (didnt have time to make the blood) and looks like something else. It turned out pretty good, we think. I'm sure it will look much better when it has the fake blood and sticker on the front. My question is...is that too much?

TIA for comments!

that looks like it will work. yeah the blood and label will add. i have a blood bag i bought after halloween. mine isn't quite so full. do you think maybe just a little less blood.
the blood bag candies will make cute treats to pass out in tune with your theme.

hallorenescene,

Yeah, I think a little less "blood" would be better, we were just messing around with it this morning to see if it would give us the look we were after. We were thinking of adding tubing, what do you think?

Thanks for your comments and suggestions!
