oh- and a post note
i dont have anything worth selling, spent to much money raising my fletching and mage.
all i have right now is 796k
you cant buy coal for 30gp -.-
Well since you are obviously a member and I have never been a member it’s kind of hard for me to give you advice in some ways, but, I have been playing runescape for a couple years and I can mine runite ores and I can smith them and I do make a lot of gold pieces doing smithing (mostly off of selling addy & rune items) Since you can’t do that yet, I’d recommend buying iron ores (or mining them yourself if you really want to) but it’s rather easy to buy iron ores for less than 100 each (even on forums). Then buy (or mine) coal for 150 (low)-200 (high) each and smelt into steel bars. If you want to save on # of coal you use by half, use the blast furnace. You could also superheat them with nature runes but I’d not really recommend that for steel, I think it wastes too many too quickly. Anyways you could also just buy the steel bars for 500 (low)- 600 (high). I advise you to make cannon balls with the steel bars that you either buy or smelt. Cannons sell from 500k from others up to about 750k from the shop. 4 cannon balls are made per steel bar and each cannon ball sells from about 180-220 each sometimes up to 250 each. Anyways, I know several guys that use cannons to train range and slayer and they can use about 6000 cannon balls per hour each and they paid me 600+ each steel bar. I made 3mil profit by the time I was 42 smith by selling 5k steel bars. They got pretty good monster drops often and instead of buying all that stuff why don’t you try to earn some of it? I know that getting a dragon chain is pretty rare but you could try keep trying to get it from a drop. I know they had tons of dmeds in all their time trying to get a d chain. They also went out and fought against dragons and then crafted the hides and high alced em or sold sets to rangers. I am a bit jealous that members can actually make a profit off of low level smithing cannon balls because I’ve spent well over 60mil gp on getting my smithing level up into the 90’s, but now that I am in the 90’s (and now that I also got my mining up to be able to mine runite ores too), smithing rune stuff is very profitable. Those high level combat guys that I knew often had more than a dozen sets of rune armor from dragon/slayer drops and would trade some of it to me for my rune bars so that they could get rune kites made (as those weren’t dropped) then they would sell the full rune sets for 180-200k
Your fletching level is pretty high and I know that fletching can earn a lot of $ too as I have several member friends that are fletchers and they often try to buy my ores or bars so they can get more arrow tips. One of them is now 99 fletch though and is working on training her crafting level up. She makes power ammies for me out of the diamonds that I get and trades me addy arrows for the addy bars that I get so I can train my pure ranger. I have heard that with farming you can make over 200k hourly rather easily by buying seeds and selling certain stuff but I forgot the details and your farm level is really low anyways.
You’ll need about 20mil if you are going to buy d med, chain, legs, & sheild. As for the other stuff, check the forums and see if anyone selling cheap sale and then resell if for higher. I know lots of members that are into merchanting. You could go get clues and do them to get treasure trail stuff and sell that on busy nonmember servers or post of forums cause there are a lot of rich nonmembers that do read forums and buy stuff from them even though we can’t post… You could do some nature or law running, I hear they pay 10k+ per run. I usually pay 1k+ per run from fally or al karid furnace to the bank while helping me run ores, but it’s a shorter distance than rune running so it’s about the same $ earned I think.
Good luck, and Merry Christmas. I hope I’ll be leveling smith in next few hours of play. I’ve got about 2mil to spend today on ores & bars & coal. I spend about 4mil weekly on average lately on mostly ores and coal.

the prayer that helped me become a gift and have the best gift, as a Jew when i saw Jesus was the promised messiah to die rejected for my sins as the lamb of God (Isaiah 52:13-53:12)
I prayed “Help me Jesus, i am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and be my best friend, amen”
He spoke from heaven and promised his love and that he knocks on our heart door to come in forgive sins (even one lie) and be our best friend to fellowship with us and us with him. Revelation 1:1 & 3:19&20
and a pair of shoes old not needed’
take a pair of shoes and spray them with gold and then outline in silver
The Christmas shoes by Bob Carlisle
It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
I’m really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes
And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there’s not much time
You see, she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.
They counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there’s not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I’ll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma’s gonna look so great.
Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there’s not much time
You see, she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.
I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there’s not much time
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
Joy to the world..let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing….

Once, online video was a novelty. Today, there is a titanic flood of online video, a testament to its immense popularity. What enabled this flood was the widespread availability of high-speed, broadband internet access. Ground Zero for this explosion in online video is YouTube, which was launched in 2005 and purchased by internet search giant Google in 2006
So serious is online video’s impact that Google offers top ten rankings to those videos that have received enough user votes – no matter where the videos come from, or what they contain. Today’s marketing budgets need to be aware that a top ten ranking in Google on certain competitive search keywords can easily run the cost in money and time to the six figures and beyond.
If you haven’t engaged in online video production for your business, consider that at the absolute least, submitting a small number of videos to the various video sharing sites such as YouTube will increase your website’s traffic because you can advertise that site’s URL in the videos and video page. Make sure you use the complete format for your link and viewers of your videos can be at your website in less than a second after seeing your videos.
What are some ways to get those viewers and raise your profile above the video flood? Here are four tips:
1) Share your video as a response. Browsing YouTube will bring you in ‘content contact’ with videos that have high viewership. Look for other videos that connect in some way to your video. You can be creative with the association, but there should be a plain connection. Post the URL of your video as a Video Response to the high-traffic video in order to “coat-tail” some of the popular video’s traffic and bring it to your own video.
2) Choose specific keywords. Use Google’s Keyword Tool and feed it the URL of a competing video page, your own product page or any other relevant web property you either own or know of. The tool will suggest keywords that you should use in your own video’s title and in your description copy.
3) Watch competing videos. Depending on whether an MBA is saying it, this activity might be called “benchmarking” or “best practice research”. Watch popular videos on various video sharing sites. Examine their content, their description, and their titles. Think about your next video production and imagine ways to mirror what their popular video does. Then implement those ideas, and you will increase your chances of obtaining similarly high traffic.
4) Find new video sharing sites and get in on their ground floor. Google owns YouTube, but indexes the entire web. Feed the video page with sufficient information and an appropriate title and you can expect a search engine presence on the keywords you pick – assuming those keywords aren’t too competitive.
So whether you plan to market your video on DVD, CD, though the many video sharing sites or on the home page of your website, your video needs to look good. Good doesn’t necessarily mean slick. It means that it has to be appropriate to your industry and the audience that you are targeting.
That’s where a professional video company such as Video One Productions can be of service. Come to us with your ideas and we’ll help you craft a video that will be appropriate, affordable and will make you proud to distribute. We’d be happy to provide you with a free consultation and perhaps be of service to you when you decide to have your video produced.

If you are wanting to start a craft business, why not start with a DIY Christmas Craft Show?
If you have a passion for creating, and you have a houseful of products, this is one of the best times of year to make the leap from hobby to business.
The best place to have your Christmas Craft Show, is your own house. It doesn’t have to be huge, but you do need to do some prep work.
Start by clearing out the room you plan to have your craft show in. Get a couple of tubs, and start clearing away all your knick knacks, and pictures on the wall, and store them in another room. This is important, because you don’t want someone trying to buy your grandmother’s teapot! (Don’t laugh this happened!)
Once you have cleared away everything, give the room a good clean, and then start displaying your products, with description and price tags on. If you make Christmas ornaments, then setup up a tree, if you paint, set up some easels. If you quilt, then setup some quilting racks. This is where you can get creative. Also use your couches and chairs as displays, you don’t want customers sitting around and yakking. As nice as that is, your purpose is to get your craft business going!
Invite family and friends and neighbors. Make sure and put the time on your invite, and have a sign out front on the day, with balloons. Make sure and leave some room for parking. Move your own car to a neighbors.
Have some good quality apple cider on the stove on low, or in a crock pot, and some goodie trays. Have some Christmas music playing softly. All of this creates atmosphere, and will let your potential customers feel relaxed and not pushed as they would be at large Christmas Craft Shows.
Make sure you are armed with business cards, order forms, and a sign up clip board for an “online newsletter” Collecting email addresses from interested clients, is a good way to let them know of any new products you have created.
Have lots of change on hand, and make sure the rest of your house is closed off, so as not to have wandering neighbors going into other rooms. Keep your pets locked away for the afternoon as well.
You don’t need to have Christmas themed products, as people are also looking for original or unique gifts to give, not just to decorate for Christmas.
This is a great way to meet new people and potential customers. Dress nice, smile and enjoy your Christmas Craft Show

Christmas holidays offer people a time to share joy both inside the home and out. Sometimes we forget how fun it is to look at Christmas decorations. Being able to share this joy with others is a wonderful experience. Yet often Christmas decorations can take both time and money. Here are some very affordable ways to share this seasons spirit and stay within your budget.
Many people have more stress during the holiday season.. Preparing for the arrival of family and other out of town guests can take a toll on you. With so much to worry about, your Christmas decorations shouldn’t be one of them. There are several cost efficient ways to decorate the exterior of your home without spending a bundle.
Ask yourself this question. What will be my theme? If you chose a traditional theme there may be items around your house for you to use. Items such as ribbon, scissors, tape, garland, and other materials are usually scattered about in drawers, closets and cabinets.
Try to use nature to help you decorate whenever possible. You can find holly berries, pine cones, branches and mistletoe almost everywhere. These items are free, earth friendly and they are so much fun to work with.
* Make your own evergreen trim; this requires a little bit of patience and practice. It will still beat paying $20 or more to purchase a living garland from the store. Just consider yourself to be the “Martha Stewart of the Forest”.
Other items that you may need for your Christmas decorating projects can be found at your local dollar store. You can also check out discounters and garage sales for necessities such as construction paper, artificial flowers, glue, lights, wreaths, bows, markers, colored pencils, paint, paper plates, glue sticks, Christmas bulbs, glitter, and all sizes of Styrofoam balls.
Make decorating fun. Make kid friendly decorations that are both eye- catching and cost efficient. Invite all your family members to participate in this kid-friendly project. Here are some easy to make crafts the whole family can enjoy doing.
* Make some life size ornament cutouts from posterboard and use them to decorate your door or porch. You can trim these cutouts with material from the craft store.
* Decorating trees and bushes with bows is colorful and affordable. Having all bows be the same color is recommended. It gives the yard a more “pulled together” appearance.
* Create some ornaments with ribbon and pine cones to hang on tree branches. If you add peanut butter and bird seed to the pine cones the birds will appreciate it.
* You can make your own luminaries at home. All you need for ice luminaries are some empty quart size milk containers or some large buckets. You can even make Christmas luminaries from some plain tin cans.
Tin Can Luminaries
1. Use clean tin cans of different sizes for this project. Make sure the cut top is smooth and safe. Remove the labels from the cans and fill them with water.
2. Place them in the freezer. The frozen water in the cans will prevent them from denting or collapsing as you create Christmas designs on their surfaces.
3. When you have solid ice in your tin cans, you can safely make designs using nails and a hammer. For fancier designs, a hole punch works great.
4. Be creative with your design and make sure the light will be able to shine through.
5. Remove the ice, place votive candles inside the cans and decorate your front walk, yard or porch.
Here is another idea that can be used to decorate the exterior of your home for Christmas.
Decorative Door Greeting
Items needed:
Garland in the following colors: green, silver, gold, red
Ribbon (red, green, silver, gold)
Tape (or thumb tacks)
Scissors
Fun and festive wrapping paper (Christmas themed)
Construction paper
Color pencils (or markers)
Glitter
Trim a piece of colorful wrapping paper so that it will fit the length of your front door.
Attach the wrapping paper to your door with either invisible tape (so there won’t be glue marks when you remove it) or thumb tacks.
Next you will need to cut two pieces of red and silver garland the width of the door.
Twist the garland together.
Cut ¾ inch green ribbon and tie the ends of the garland.
Cut two pieces of green and gold garland together. Cut ¾ inch silver ribbon and tie both ends of the garland.
Use a hook, thumb tacks or a small nail to mount the garland on your door.
Cut four pieces of garland, (your choice of colors) the height of the door.
Twist the first two pieces of the garland together.
Now you can twist the next two pieces of garland together.
Use thumb tacks to secure the garland in place on the door.
Making a Greeting Card for the Door
Fold the construction paper in half.
* Write a holiday greeting to people coming to your door on this card. Brightly colored markers or pencils work well for this.
* Using a brightly colored pen or a glitter pen to trace your greeting adds nice touch.
* Once you have finished the card, place it at the center of the door.
* For a different style, cover your door with cards. The cards can all be filled in – or you can include a pen so people can add their own message.
Learning how to decorate the exterior of your home for Christmas does not mean that you have to spend a lot of money. This should be a fun project that lets you add your personal style statement to the season’s festivities.

Writing a computer lesson plan is very easy for some teachers, but a lot of teachers find it very difficult. The most passionate teachers will find that writing lessons for their computer classes is very difficult. The reason for this is that a passion for computer doesn’t always translate into the ability to organize a cohesive educational lecture or class. Teachers that have difficulty putting their passion into a computer lesson plan often need some tools to help them put it all down on paper or even a computer. This may take some practice, but every teacher can learn how to write great lessons that will take your passion and make it the passion of your students, as well.
There are many tools that you can use as a computer teacher to enrich your lessons writing process. First, you can use a planner or planning book. These are usually a great way to write down a rough idea of what you plan to teach from day to day, but they are not always enough. If you are organized you can write down the objective of all of the lessons and what you plan to tie into the lesson in the way of worksheets, crafts, textbook assignments, research papers, etc. Many teachers try this approach and have a lot of success while others find that they cannot form organized lessons in the planners and similar tools. Organization is key when using this type of tool, because you want your lessons to flow from one day to the next.
If you have found that writing a computer lesson plan using all of the traditional tools doesn’t work well for you, or you just want a break from writing your own lessons, you might want to look into some of the spectacular software that is currently available to teachers. Much of the computer software that is on the market has fully prepared lessons for teachers to use with their students. The lessons are written by teachers for teachers, so there is no need to worry about content or how complete the lessons may or may not be. You might not want to use the lessons for all of your teaching but you might find that they are a good supplement to your own lessons.
This type of software can be very helpful for teachers of all levels of computer who want to take a break from their computer lesson plan writing but still want an enriching educational experience for students. For one of the best options on the market teachers may want to visit the http://www.lessonplans.com.au for some of the best software programs available. These programs are very easy to use and can help teachers introduce the use of computers in the computer classroom. The programs are very affordable, and if you are not satisfied with the product for any reason you can return it for a full refund, no questions asked. Great software is hard to come by, but this is one of the best companies to work with on the Internet and with a full refund possible, you have nothing to lose!

Brainstorming for preschool Halloween crafts ideas could be a bit tricky especially if you’re planning it for kids who have short attention span. You have to make sure that the projects are fun and exciting for them. There are many ideas surrounding Halloween crafts for preschool projects though, and you can easily find them online. This article will show you basic projects for preschoolers and how to add some excitement to them.
When brainstorming for preschool Halloween craft ideas, consider the following:
- Safety – Always keep the kid’s safety in mind. When planning for a preschool Halloween craft, choose projects that don’t involve needles, cutters, glue guns and other items which can be dangerous to kids. Those tools can easily poke the eyes, cut, and burn. Have your students use children’s scissors instead, as they are more blunt. Also, it’s good to have projects that utilize materials such as punchers, non-toxic glue, tape, and small staples as these don’t pose much risk.
- Difficulty level – Ideal Halloween crafts for preschoolers are those that are colorful, catch children’s attention, and most especially easy to do for them. A project can be too tiring or difficult for preschoolers to do. Instructions should be kept short and simple.
- Interest – Although Halloween projects are generally interesting, teachers would know better and always add a bit more twist, fun and color to ordinary projects especially since these projects are designed for kids to do. Kids get bored easily so try to make projects more out-of-the-ordinary.
Mask
Masks are great for preschool Halloween crafts project. They are pretty versatile, too. You can make hero masks, animal masks, and monster masks. All you need are paper plates, crayons, punchers/staples, and garters.
For the materials, all you will need are some paper plates and crayons which you would want to distribute. Then, instruct your preschoolers to draw two big eyes in the middle of their paper plate. Then instruct them to draw anything they like around those eyes. Show them examples of simple animal faces like bunnies and cats using coloring books and other kids’ books, so they have an idea of what to draw. Your students can draw a witch face, bat outline, or practically anything.
Then, give them time to color their drawings. You may also suggest stripes, spots, hearts, stars, and designs that are easy for the kids to draw. For more interest, you can use glue sticks or Elmer’s glue to stick glitter and sequins on their masks. The kids will absolutely love this idea. You can also purchase colorful feathers so your students can stick them to their masks. Remember to keep your projects interesting!
Wings
Another interesting Halloween crafts for preschoolers are Halloween wings. You can create bat wings, angel wings, or butterfly wings out of cardboard. You may pre-cut the shapes to make the project easier for the kids. Just punch two holes on each wing so you can attach a string where the arm can go through and stay secured to the wing.
Once the cut out wings are distributed, you can suggest easy designs for your pupils to follow. Give them time to draw, color, and explore their imagination. Also have them glue sequins, glitter, and feathers to add interest.
Planning Halloween crafts for preschool kids is easy when you have these three secrets to keep in mind: simplicity, safety, and of course, fun.

Work at home ideas vary from the small to the very large and all are of great interest right now. In recent times countless people have lost their jobs right around the world and with so many newly unemployed seeking the same remaining jobs, it is getting tougher to find replacement jobs. Real job security seems a thing of the past regardless whether we are junior or senior employees in almost every industry.
So what can we do to give ourselves a little security or to provide a little extra money on top of our salaries? The answer for many may be in home business. There are so many work at home ideas that can nicely top up our employment salaries or provide a part time income. Ideas that can be turned to full time work at home businesses if needed.
So what sort of small business ideas are right for the home? There is a large range of business ideas to suit any individual. We should recognize the difference between work from home businesses and work at home businesses. A self employed gardener who tends local gardens might be home based in that he has no commercial office premises and works primarily in other locations but can be contacted at home. He may do his accounts work and so on there too but his effort is largely conducted elsewhere. A work at home business however might be entirely undertaken by somebody actually in their own home in say a home office setting, indeed they may even be limited to the home as might say the mother of a newborn child.
Work at home ideas sometimes arise out of hobbies and pastimes like arts and crafts but can of course just as easily be everyday business tasks like say typing and appointment setting that can be carried out from anywhere. Sporting interests can also lead to small businesses as for example in the case of some sporting memorabilia dealers who trade in game day programs and souvenir sports equipment.
Some folk make excellent money from activities like leather craft work and painting. This can be through selling the finished pieces at markets and specialist stores or by teaching others. Hobby websites are also a great way to make money while writing about your hobbies. These specialist websites can be very simple yet very lucrative. Once you have some visitors to your website you can show ads from related merchants and earn affiliate commissions or other payments on the sales you introduce.
For those who like to sell face to face and who are not limited to the home there are any number of direct sales programs like the Amway type programs which pay good commissions on sales you make to friends and neighbors.
Whether you are the outgoing type or shy retiring type there are many work at home ideas to suit you. Check out websites like workathomefiles.com for lots of ideas and more information. Start a home business and give yourself a little security.

I would like a craft idea for something fun and easy, but nice for my son to make and give for Christmas presents. Thanks It doesn’t have to be a Christmas theme.
When my boys were little we took popsycle sticks (the fancy ones you buy in a craft store) and painted them red and green. Let them dry…then glued them together in a square. I then took polaroid pic’s of each kid and glued them in back of the framed pop sticks. Used yarn to hang them on the tree. Since polaroid’s aren’t used today so much, just take your regular snapshot pics. The grandparents, aunts,…everyone loved them. And they used them every year thereafter on their trees.
If it’s a school project for kids…rice krispie treats with red and green icing went over well too. just a thought….

During my 21 years of teaching art and craft in secondary colleges in Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria, I have constantly heard hot discussion on what constituted art and what was craft. Questions fly around: is painting fine art? Is craft really art? The answer often depended on what medium the debater was using when expressing their own creativity.
I made the distinction thus: art is when you generate an image, idea, concept or design using your creative skills; and craft is the medium that you choose to express your creative design with. Craft includes painting in various mediums, sculpture, ceramics, fabric, photography etc.
Those who believe that Art should simply come from a deep seated soul and simply burst forth, using whatever is at hand to create it, may have trouble with my definition.
Another regular question I get asked is Can you teach creativity? My response is yes. Of course there are people more skilled than others and some have greater natural abilities than others. But basically, creativity can be taught.
My experience with teaching is that the more structured you are, the greater the creative skills become. I no longer believe that you simply have to express yourself, whenever and however you wish. Those who are prepared to build on basic skills such as observations, drawing, colour, and tone, will more quickly come to a creative solution to a problem.
And that brings me to another point. If you have a problem to solve, you not only are more likely to be creative, but you can also expect more satisfaction from your endeavours. So how do you find a problem when all you want to do is paint a picture? Van Gogh certainly had a problem he wanted to solve. He wanted to capture the aggressive movement of light and colour in an ever changing landscape of wind and rain and dust. He did not go out simply to paint a landscape, he wanted to solve a problem.
I think this is the biggest dilemma of teaching art in schools. Teachers try to teach a skill such as ceramics or silk printing, but the results are often most unsatisfactory because students were not given a problem to solve.
Let me give you an idea of what I mean. I wanted to teach a class to use air brush to create a strong design image on a large canvas. They were not told what the medium was going to be. First of all I collected a large number of balls and had the students draw groups of balls for 4 hours (over two weeks). This was their research. I specifically made them aware of drawing the negative space (background) as well as the positive space (the actual balls).
Once the research was completed I gave them the problem to solve. They had to create a design using two colours only which emphasised the negative space. The best designs came from those students who began to treat both the positive space (the balls) and the negative space (the background) as abstract shapes. By using a light box, they got the shapes more and more simplified until a truly beautiful and creative balance of two colours was achieved. The final job was the craft, the airbrush and tape technique.
So,is craft, art? Well, I do not think so, as I see a lot of good craft with no real art awareness. But I do believe for you to be successful and produce worthwhile work you have to marry both art and craft in a sensitive and insightful end product of your Work of Art.

We want to throw a Halloween Party for friends and family, adults and kids. I wanted to have a craft or two for the kids to do, and to serve really cute theme foods, snacks and drinks. Any suggestions, advice?
My son has a Halloween party every year!!! It gets bigger and better everytime!
One thing we’ll be doing this year is decorate your own cookie. Make kindof big sugar cookies in shapes of pumpkins/ghosts, and set out the sprinkles, icing, gels, candies, etc…
-OR- carve a pumpkin contest for the older kids.
We’ve had all the kids sit in a circle and we’ve told ghost stories.
I make the yard a spooky as possible (our party is outside). I use either dry ice (careful with that), or a fog machine, and set it up outside. I also, get big pieces of foam boards (at a craft store for real cheap), and cut out tombstones. I spray paint them gray and write with a back sharpie. I set them up in their own little graveyard…I also have a man that loks like he’s coming up from out of the ground (Target $10). I hang skelitons and bats from the ceiling. Lighting is everything. You don’t want bright lights everywhere. Cut up pumpkins, and put battery lights inside for safe lighting.
This year I’m going to make a Huanted Tunnel, using big appliance boxes,wooden platforms (for scrap wood) and balck fabric. Good Luck!!
Forgot to tell you about the cake! It’s graveyard cake.
Bake any kind of cake, I used chocolate, in a 13×9 inch cake pan.
Frost with chocolate icing. Crunch up Oreo cookies really good, and sprinkle all over the top of the cake, so it looks like dirt. Using think paper, like construction or index cards, cut out tombstome shapes, but make them a little long b/c you’re going to stick them in the cake a lil so they’ll stand (color them and write on em). Then get those lil pumpkin shaped candies (like candy corn) and place them thruout the cake how you like, then place a few of the little “ghost” peeps (foamy marshmellow candy),a nd place a few around the tombstones. It was a BIG hit!!!!!
