 Great Halloween Idea Book! August 27, 2008
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
I received this book today and what fun it was to look through! Gorgeous full-color illustrations and patterns. As the title suggests, there are a wide variety of activities in the book. Simple things that even kids can do (that are still stylish) and more complicated crafts/cooking for adults. I am very pleased with this purchase and I think the price is excellent considering the amount of information contained in the book. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for ideas for things to do with their kids or anyone looking to jazz up their Halloween decor.
So helpful and creative! October 4, 2008

This is very detailed and written well for most crafters! I enjoyed it and have let my daughter use it for some of her decorations, too
Highly recommend it for anyone who needs more halloween (like I do!)
 Mathew Mead Halloween Book Review October 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was very excited to be getting this book after reading the recommendation in one of my magazine publications. After getting the book, I was very dissappointed with the content and immediately gave it away. Mead's Halloween book was filled with ideas such as putting masks on eggs and eyes on carrots(for candlesticks),eyes on pies, eyes on fruit and drawing faces on oranges. I found most of the ideas suitable for children or those with too much produce in their fridge. None of the members in my family were interested in trying any of the projects (and a large number of them seemed to be applying eyes to various objects,mostly food). These ideas are economical though as they can be whipped up using everyday objects. The front cover was so enthralling that I had assumed the content would be something different than what was actually inside and we were dissapointed. Although, if you enjoy spending a good amount of time shaping marzapan, you will actually enjoy one section of this book. If you enjoy shaping wool into Halloween shapes, you may actually enjoy another section of the book. Children may enjoy this book as some of the ideas are simplistic. As for us, we enjoyed Martha Stewart's Halloween book so much more for the adult content and unique ideas.
Fun & Tastefully done - a must for Halloween Addicts! October 10, 2008
This is a beautiful book, with great crafting, decorating & treat ideas that vary from simple to elaborate.
The photos will make you think of Martha Stewart, but the ideas are actually less restrained and more whimsical and doable than the ever elegant Martha.
My favorite for home decorating is the Witches coat rack. A fun entryway decoration complete with a cloak, broom, 'pointy hat' and a large key marked "Dungeon", that looks as though the owner came home to "park it for the night".
I love this book and can't wait to get busy with several of the projects in here.
