I started with a paper mache hat from HL, then painted and glittered it. I gathered some crepe paper and hot glued it and various artificial pumpkins, berries and ribbon to the brim. You can't see it, but I added an orange spider to the side.
I included several handmade pieces. I have been making cross stitch ornaments lately. I thought Liza might like this little pumpkin.
A little bottle cap pin cushion with Halloween pins:
It's sitting on a box I covered in Graphic 45 paper and filled with German scrap, felt leaves, and other embellishments.
I also added a boo banner, several types of ribbons wound on a vintage spool, and an owl stamp.
I can't wait to get my box of goodies from Lisa. I can tell from her blog that she's a very talented crafter.

What a wonderful idea for a swap! You did such a creative and wonderful job. She is going to love it!
I love looking at everyone's Halloween decorations. These are as cute as they can be!
I don't decorate for Halloween, just for fall. I don't have any children at home anymore and we have very few children in the neighborhood.
Oh my what a lovely swap package you put together for your partner.
The hat is fabulous and I really, really love the Halloween bunting. The little x stitch pumpkin ornament is so cute too.
Happy Halloween!
