VIDEO TUTORIAL: Witches Broom Halloween Popcorn Bags

"Popping" into Halloween part 2 of my Witches Broomparty treat video series! Yesterday was Tootsie Pops and today is Pop corn. The stinkin' cutest popcorn your Halloween party can handle lol! Speaking of handling, did ya catch the pretzel rod handle? Too stinkin' cute!! Such a simple, fun and easy goodie bag begins with a plain brown paper bag. Don't miss the "booty tag" fun with "eyeballs" and the witches boot on the tag. Project inspired by Susan Adams & Janet Baker.

We are "popping" into Halloween with a 2 part Witches Broom gift video series on ...well...pops! Tootsie pops & popping corn to be exact.

Making a Tootsie Pop witches broom candy treat will WOW your little (or big) ghouls this Halloween season, while "going green" at the same time. Plus when you order these supplies thru my online store, you get the packing paper FREE with you order!!

What a blessing that can be. Many of you have been asking about the results of YouTube's On the Rise...and although it's not official until September 27, we didn't win the voting (it was really, really close). Even though I won't be getting that ultimate birthday present of being featured on YouTube's homepage, I'm already having a very special day. I am honored just to have been nominated for the program, I still don't know how or why they chose me out of the millions. It was sooo much fun and exciting, during the voting last week! Like watching a great superbowl, we were up, we were down...we were sooo close and You guys were truly the best. Right there with me, cheering, poll stalking, sharing the word and the fun. It was awesome!!! THANK YOU!!!
