I'm Ready for Halloween

[Scrappile]

I actually finished a project while Momma was away for the week.  My neighbor has two young granddaughters, that visit them often.  I love to make them something when I find something I think they will enjoy.  When I saw @alexfox's spooky candy box I had to make them each one.  They are both the same.  I added a skeleton to the inside bottom.  Not part of the plans but saw the pattern for the little guy and thought he belonged in the box.  The eyes on the cat are green but didn't show up well in the picture.

Great job Paul.  Was looking at the pattern also but just haven't had time.

It is pretty fun to do, and with some minor filing it all fit together and the secret to open it works well.   I had a lot of fun with it.  Now I have to wait almost two months to give them to the young ladies.  Hope I don't forget to do it.

Well.  I showed my wife when she returned from her quilting retreat.  She said good, now you have to make 6 more for family members. I had to order more BB today.
