Contributing Writer: Laurel MacDougall from Ducks in a Row Although my kids LOVE carrying the plastic pumpkins to collect candy in every Halloween, this year I thought it was time for an upgrade. I saw this awesome vinyl polka dot at Ikea and knew right away that I was going to make trick or treat bags with them.

Who doesn't love ... continue reading...
