Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Link Party October 28, 2017

Hi and welcome to the link party!  It's almost Halloween and maybe your kids are trick or treating this weekend--our town will keep with October 31st this year.  Trivia for you--did you know that Nevada became a state on October 31, 1864?  Our state's nickname is "Battle-born".  The last Friday in October is a state holiday.  Now you know!
This coming Thursday Ali and I head to Utah to attend Pinners Utah!  Saturday we present our class "Christmas Traditions, Decor, and Goodies" and we are excited (and a little nervous).  If you are in the Sandy, Utah area Nov. 3rd and 4th this week, we hope that you will stop by Pinners and enjoy some fun classes, visit some awesome vendors, and come say "hi" to Two Chicks and a Mom!  Staci will be there in spirit and video as she can't fly at this point in her pregnancy. Get tickets HERE.
Use promo code "chicks" for a 10% discount on ticket prices!  Then sign up for our class :).

Halloween and Party in Your PJs 180


Party in Your PJs 180 is here!  Time to share your awesome ideas with us and our visitors!
Have you decorated, made (or bought) your costumes, and bought your candy for Trick or Treaters?  Since Ali is 17 I don't worry so much about the costumes but even if she wants to dress up we have plenty of costumes from over the years.  Candy is hidden in the closet for now and some of our decorations are out---I guess I am old.

I do, however, usually make some Halloween sugar cookies and use this awesome
Bakery Style Icing  on them.  The icing is the best part, yeah?
 


Features for this week (don't forget to visit each host's blog as we each choose our own features):

My Busy Beehive has a printable for Halloween.  I love the simplicity of it...plus, Halloween.
Halloween printable 

Leanna at Faeries and Fauna shares an awfully cute Halloween Porch. 
DIY Halloween yard decorations, DIY Halloween porch decorations, Halloween Porch decorations, Halloween front yard decorations, DIY Halloween ghosts 

The Apple Street cottage has a tutorial for Wooden Candy Corn Craft.  Still have time to make!
 

Grab a button if you were featured!


Don't forget, each host of Party in Your PJs chooses their own Features so make sure you visit each blog to see if YOU were Featured this week.

Ok, onto our party!  Thanks for joining us!
