Witch Craft book review.

When asked to review Witch Craft, a compilation of projects by Margaret McGuire and Alicia Kachmar, I nearly jumped out of my skin in excitement.  Halloween is my holiday; there’s no other way to say it.  I tend to stick with decoupage most of the time (shocker), so I greatly appreciate being given the motivation to try something else – something else like sewing, paper crafts or jewelry.  I’m completely diggin’ this crafty compendium.  Here are my five favorite things about Witch Craft.

1.  The variety of projects (over 25).  Anything you can think of is in here, whether it requires a needle, crochet hook, baking pans or some felt.  It’s easy to get stuck in a “rut” (Hi, my name is Amy, and I have a Mod Podge addiction), so I like books that encourage me to pursue other crafts.  I probably wouldn’t buy a Halloween book all about sewing.  Nevermind, I would if it were Halloween.  I probably wouldn’t buy a book featuring only Halloween jewelry.  Okay, nevermind that either, you know what I mean.

2.  The Wicked Mary Janes.  This is my favorite project, without question.  I don’t have a picture, but I assure you, they are amazing. I want to make all three pairs from the book – the zombie kittens, the cute black cats AND the Franken/Dracula twins.  What an easy and cute project.

3.  The included patterns and printables.  This book doesn’t take up a lot of space, yet there are several patterns and printables inside from which to choose.  There are additional downloadables here on the Quirk Books site.  Additional free goodies make me giddy.

4. The Halloween food.  I’m not like Martha.  I don’t think of wrapped weenie mummy fingers and jello molds with mice in them.  I like the simple treats in Witch Craft, and I can actually make them without special baking tools.

5.  The section in the back of the book highlighting the “witch crafters,” the featured artists in this book.  I’m on the internet all day, every day – so I might as well visit some blogs of awesome artists and crafters.

My friends, this is a fabulous book.  If you are a Halloween addict, lover or even an appreciator, you are going to enjoy this.  Buy it here and then join the Witch Craft Facebook group here.  I’m looking forward to year-long Halloween inspiration.

  4. my favorite thing about halloween… wow, how can i express my love for this holiday with simple words? it’s my absolute favorite! the candy, the pumpkins, the spookinesssss!!! but, i suppose my most favorite thing is that it’s the one day of the entire year that you can be whoever you want to be, without judgment and without question. for some people it’s the only day they can truly be themselves. rebeccagrave^at^gmail^dot^com.

  7. My favorite thing about Halloween?? EVERYTHING. But I guess I love how it brings out the kid and creativeness in everyone.

  8. I love being able to dress up! Though I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get some last min items to throw the costume I wanted to do together. Might have to go a different direction.

    Cute shirt and I’d love the Mod Podge pack ;)

  9. my favorite thing about halloween? trick or treating! i love taking the kidds out and us getting spooked by other ppls costumes as we walk around getting candy… its awesome!!!

  10. Home Cooking Memories says:

    My favorite thing about Halloween is the food – I love the mix of Autumn flavors and spooky creativity!

    homecookingmemories at gmail dot com

  11. I have tons of MP but must have the shirt!!! This will sound crazy but I’m having major back surgery in 3 weeks and am collecting XL, fun, different and crazy tees to wear during my stay in rehab. I was so excited to see this book…looks so cool. So there’s my comment and the plans I have for adding to my wardrobe, LOL.

  12. My favorite thing about Halloween is coming up with a costume to make. I don’t believe in buying a premade one and even though I ALWAYS wait until the last minute, I love the scramble to become something fabulous!

  13. i love pumpkins! i don’t know why, but i find them sooo cute! i don’t carve them but draw or paint on them instead (lasts longer!). thanks for the chance to win!

  14. My My Mindy says:

    My favorite thing about Halloween is making things! I make costumes, food, desserts, and decorations. My kids help me with everything and we usually wind up making wonderful family memories.

  15. it’s pretty hard to narrow my love of Halloween to just one thing, but i would say my favorite part of halloween is the folklore that goes along with it. i love all the stories & beliefs & myth to this holiday & time of year!! < ]:>}

  16. my kids are old enough to go out trick or treating with their friends, so I enjoy staying home, handing out the candy, & seeing the kids in the neighborhood. Also, my husband is an artist with the pumpkin carving, so we get lots of comments on our pumpkins. This giveaway looks great, hope I win.

    kkiehl@gmail.com

  17. I WANT WANT WANT IT! I really love Mod Podge, and I could use all of these for upcoming projects! danajeanward@gmail.com

  18. I love everything about Halloween, but I especially love to decorate and make spooky food. Growing up we always celebrated all the October b-days on Halloween with my family and had a crazy costume party after early trick or treating. It was so much fun. I hope to continue the “after party” tradition with my little one who is going to be a cute panda this year!

  19. What isn’t my favorite thing about Halloween? But if pressed, I’d have to say that I love the costumes – the dressing up and being somebody else! And all the spooky, scary fun of course!

  20. jsahawkwiz says:

    Any time I can dress up, I’m a happy girl. Plus, this is a good challenge for me as my kids never want to be anything ‘normal’ so I usually have to make the costumes myself. My hot glue gun and I get quite a work out this time of year.

  21. flyingbeader says:

    I love going to the stores & seeing all the skeletons & monsters. I don’t dress up anymore, but I use to wear a costume at work when I was drawing blood in the morning (hospital won’t let us do it anymore…boohoo). Patients would literally howl with laughter which started their day off right. It is the best medicine. Now days, I get out all my vampire dolls and enjoy sitting them around the house.

  22. My Favorite thing about Halloween is the crafts, making a costume and carving pumpkins!

  23. To narrow it down to one favorite thing is pretty tough…costumed kids, goodies to munch on, crafts to make, decorations to hang…that and its a good starter holiday for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

  34. I love everything about Halloween, but this year I really love costumes. Homecoming Week at my college is also the week of Halloween, so it’s costumes galore. Monday is superhero week. I’m going as Batgirl. I printed out a bat symbol and mod-podged it to some scrap leather I had. Then, I stapled the symbol to a black t-shirt. I cut out another bat symbol and again mod=podged it to leather. I’m going to use it to make a bracelet. My e-mail is mlucke@gmail.com.

I’ll tell you my least favorite thing…that it’s only once a year!

  77. Playing Out Time says:

    My favorite part of halloween. All of it. Laugh. It’s the least stressful and most fun “holiday”. Making costumes for my daughter and seeing her all excited for halloween. Halloween crafts. Candy of course. Decorating for it. Baking halloween treats. The only time neighbors don’t seem to mind you in their yard or knocking on their doors (well saying trick or treat). Other times they just ignore ya. Laugh. Seeing others creative ideas for costumes. Yep, Halloween is a favorite of mine!

  78. Deanna Jane (cullenkidsmum) says:

  87. Jake n Kait says:

    My favorite part of halloween is just the change of the seasons. I love the cooler weather, hot apple cider- all the fall stuff.

    dkbond007@hotmail.com

  91. I love Hallowe’en because you can be anything you want … and no one looks at you funny! :) Or, maybe they do, but you want them to.

    Thanks for the opportunity!
    Shoni

  92. Heather Acton says:

    Having all the wide-eyed little ones in costumes come by my door. That’s my favourite part.

    I have an idea for something I want to try with modge podge but I haven’t had a chance to get out and get some. Maybe I’ll win a sample pack to play with! Thanks for the chance!

  93. What’s my favorite thing about Halloween? Everything! I love picking out a costume (or, more often than not, searching through Goodwill and Savers to find pieces and making what I can’t find), decorating, making fun crafts, giving away food and the crafts that I made, the candy (Yum!), the spookiness, the history behind it… Should I continue? It may take me a while to finish.

    This Halloween, I am super excited because I get to visit my sister, which means hanging out with my gorgeous niece and dress her up in an adorable ladybug costume (she’s only four months).

  94. I LOVE the fact you can dress up as anything you want! Anything can go, it is a teachers dream to be able to come up with a costume that is not at all you. I love imagination and seeing that on Halloween is what makes it so awesome for me!

  95. Michelle Cummings says:

    My favorite thing about Halloween is coming up with new ways to decorate and sharing the joy of creating with Dyllan!

    franakk@optonline.net

  99. I enjoy seeing the kids dressed up. Oh to be a kid again…….

  100. Halloween is the perfect holiday. No big meals, no presents to buy, everything about it seems optional. It is such a creative holiday since costumes can go the scary route to the totally realistic recreation. Oh, and did I mention the candy aspect? A holiday, based on candy? The symbols of the season are fun too; witches, pumpkins, bats and my favorite of all, black cats! Fall is a beautiful time of year, a respite before the snow flies. Halloween rocks. Oh, and Boo to you!

  101. I love about Halloween that all the kids come to my door for the sweets that I package up in cute and scary packagings! Just love their faces!
    Thanks for the chance to win some fab Mod Podge!!

  114. Now that son is grown and I can’t make costumes for him anymore, I’d say my favorite part of Halloween is seeing all the adorable little neighborhood kids in their costumes. I’d love to dress up like Mod Podge Amy myself!

My children still talk about those fun memories. Thanks for this opportunity to have a chance to win. I LOVE MOD PODGE, it truly ROCKS!!!

  143. My favorite thing about Halloween is seeing all the kids running around in costume. My 5yr old daughter loves dressing up and this is the one time of the year she can put on her dress up and run around town all day with me dressed up with her also ;) My other two daughters are really in it for the candy. They even wanted new sneakers for walking ;)

    My favorite thing about Halloween is how big a deal my husband makes out of putting together a costume every year. The man is SERIOUS about it.

    Fun giveaway! My favorite thing about Halloween is the way it bucks authority. What a little rebel of a holiday! While other holidays remind us to be virtuous, Halloween screams out “do something you wouldn’t normally do.”

  151. I love everything about Halloween. That it is in the Fall, that it is about dressing up, decorations, etc. But most importantly I love Halloween because I am able to celebrate my daughter, Emma’s, birthday!

    Oh, and Candy Corn! :)

  153. I love seeing mu kiddos dressed up!!

    I love everything about Halloween! Number one it is a stress free holiday. You can do as little or as much as you want and your good to go. Everything about it is fun from the dressing up, the candy, and the best part is the decorations!

  155. I love the symbolism: especially pumpkins, black cats, the moon, bats, owls, spooky trees, crows. I also must mention the great excuse Halloween offers us… to craft and get messy :-)

  159. I used to love to scare the kids when handing out candy, but have lost that costume. So now, I love bagging up the candy in decorative bags and handing that out along with glow-sticks for the kids.

    The thing I love most about Halloween are the fun & creative costumes that people come up with! This year I am going to be a Mime! Can’t wait to hear back about this contest!

  161. I love candy corn! I also like decorating the porch (though I keep it to mostly fall decorations), and seeing the cute baby costumes! :)

    I love making costumes for my dirty half dozen kiddos. The challenge feeds my obsessive crafty gene!

  163. My fav thing about Halloween is having watched my kids and then various nieces & nephews throughout the year in different costumes. Each year more creative as they get more of a say in what they want to be this year. I love Halloween. I love seeing all the little kids come to my door…and even the big kids.

  164. I love the trick or treat part of Halloween!!! Thanks for the giveaway! :)

  165. I love seeing the excitement my daughter has about Halloween and finding a costume for trick or treating!

  166. The weather, and pumpkins and scary decorations oh and my dads birthday.He was lucky enough to be born on such a fun day.

  167. I love all the stores having candy on sale. We don’t have trick-or-treaters but it never stops me from buying my favorite chocolates or other candy.

  168. I love how excited my kids get to pick our their costumes and then go trick or treating. and this year especially because we are now in a neighborhood where we get to have trick-or-treaters come to our door! so fun!

  169. I love dress up in costumes!

  170. Love this time of the year!! Our wedding anniversary is ON HALLOWEEN. 35 years together! WoW!

  171. We don’t have tradition of Halloween in my country, but for last couple of years people are getting to know what Halloween is.
    So this year I am going to decorate my first pumpkin and I am very excited about it!

  173. We love all things Halloween. My kids are so excited they dressed in their costumes yesterday so my 3year old son could practice saying trick or treat. Too cute. I found your blog by a link on another blog. Mod Podge brings back fond memories for me. I used to make Christmas candles with our neighbor as a kid. We used Mod Podge to attach printed napkins & glitter to a candle. I would love the starter set so I could start the same tradition with my 6 year old daughter.

    What I love best about Halloween is the spooky decorations. They can go super scary or whimsical with everything in between. I’m a sucker for dark items with a little bit of sparkle… ;)

  175. I love the CANDY, dressing up, seeing all the trick-or-treaters, the spooky and fun decorations, and the GLITTER! There is something about glitter that makes everything fun and pretty :)
    LOVE the book, TFS!

    My favorite thing about Halloween is dressing up. I love coming up with fun costume themes for my family (we’re the Scooby gang this year) and couples parties (last year we were Al & Peggy Bundy). I also love the food as I am a pumpkin lovin’ freak!!

    Dare I even say that I am new to Mod Podge :o !

  177. I’m motivated by your blog. Thank you so much for all the great ideas. Who knew you could do so much with Mod Podge. The starter pack…I didn’t know there is a variety of different Mod Podge types. I only knew of the regular type with Matte or Gloss. My favorite thing about Halloween is taking the kiddos to trick or treat. They have a blast.

  178. I have the Witch Craft book and love it :) My fave thing about Halloween are those Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins.. I’m addicted,lol
