STORY
Halloween Wonder
In a sweet little town, there is a very particular three-story house that is the center of the town's annual Halloween celebration. Each year, the mysterious couple that lives there transforms their wrap-around porch into something new and fantastical and wows the entire town. The neighbors talk about it all year long! This year, however, it is an 8-year-old girl named Margaret that does something at once surprising and gracious which changes the town's Halloween tradition forever.

Sparkle Craft: Halloween Special - Pillowcase Cross-Body Trick-or-Treat Bag
This cross-body trick-or-treat bag takes its inspiration from the pillowcases you may have used of yore but has a handy added design feature — a cross-body strap — that makes it easy to drop candy into the bag but hard to drop the whole thing on the sidewalk.
