My Favorite Coluor is Shiny So what's your crush of the month? Are you obsessing over fall clothes now? Burgundy? Hunter green? French fries? Mmmm.....french fries says the mind of a dieter. 
This year they'll be receiving these jumbo skeleton bookmarks courtesy of yours truly.
I created my bookmarks with my design software,however, no worries for those of you don't feel your very graphic savvy.This project can very easily be made with out the use of a computer.Just simply cut two long squares from plain cardstock.My bookmarks measured 3 x 10 {remember these are jumbo bookmarks!}Then cut the same size squares from a sheet of patterned scrapbook paper and adhere to the top of the cardstock with a glue stick. Next up is to add your skelton figures. I found my guys at Walmart but I also spied similiar ones at the Dollar Store. I used glue dots to stick my skeltons to the bookmarks but I suppose hot glue or even regular craft glue would work just fine too.Lastly, add the "No bones about it" saying with a marker or even typing it out in Microsoft Word and printing on some matching colored paper.
Pretty easy, right?AND as I mentioned the most spooktacular thing about these favors is how cheap they are to make!My skeletons came in a pack of 24 for a $1.97.Cardstock {in bulk} and scrapbook paper can be found at your local craft stores for a few bucks {even cheaper if you take advantage of store coupons AND even cheaper if you can create the design yourself on your computer!}. Sooooo....as you can see you can practically gift these to the whole town of Woodbury, Kentucky for just a few measly dollars.
Humanitarian award goes to.....me! For saving these Dollar Store owls from hitting one more ugly branch. R-rated topic of the month: Who knew I did Halloween Porn on the side?
Uncovered news: Factory scandal.......China puts monkeys to work AND they SUCK at making bubble necklaces. 
The "Frugalicious": I don't think I have EVER paid just $2 for a pillow.
Life or death: I cleaned AND stencilled a wall and survived.

I made this delicious grilled sandwich a little differently than a traditional grilled cheese. I used a "grilling cheese" and pan fried each piece separately. It's not vegan, light or healthy in anyway but it is gluten-free thanks to some delicious gluten-free sandwich bread (my favorite is Udi's). If you eat gluten-free you should definitely check out their products.
The fresh figs are the perfect sweet accompaniment to the salty cheese and butter soaked bread. The sandwich would probably be really good with fig jam on it too.
