Hi again!
I have made these before but wanted to make a few to have to give away and thought I would share the instructions with you in case you are interested! They are really easy to make and you of course you can make them for any occasion. 
The candy bar inside is just your standard sized Hershey. I am sure you can tweak the measurements and size it to fit a larger candy bar. The measurements are as follows:
Cardstock wrapper (I used Going Grey) ~ Cut a 6" X 7" piece. Score lengthwise at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".
Wrap (I used Only Orange) ~ Cut a 2" X 7" piece of cardstock. Score in the center at 3 1/2".
What I did was used the Spooky Skyline wheel in Basic Black ink across the bottom. I then stamped the moon from Home is Where the Haunt is with White Craft ink. The way I made it look less full is to roll the stamp on your ink pad just to ink up the sides and when you stamp it gives a neat look. The witch is from the same set and was stamped in Basic Black. I used sticky strip to hold the holder together. I used it up the back seam and along the bottom so the candy doesn't fall out. Before you tape the holder together, use your 1 1/4" circle punch, center it at the top, move it halfway down the edge and punch. This will give you the half circle.
The haunted house (from same set) was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black ink and then mounted on Basic Black cardstock. The Happy Halloween is from one of the All Year Cheer sets and was stamped with Basic Black ink on Going Grey cardstock. The end of the sleeve is held together with 3 black eyelets. What it does is makes the sleeve tighter on the holder.
See how easy?!?!?
Last night my daughter went to a slumber party so my son was an only child. He does NOT do well as an only child! It is really funny, well sortof...... I must add a note in here to Heather ~ I should have taken you up on your offer and brought Joey to your house!!!! LOL!!! Last night when we got home, he just didn't know what to do with himself. He followed Chris and I around everywhere. He played with the dog while Chris and I were outside and then when we came in he says "what are we going to do now"? I really wanted to work on my Snoopy library folder so I said, why don't you come sit in the crap room with me and you can watch TV there. He came and talked and talked and talked..... It was hilarious. If there is anything you want to know about Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon, just ask me!!! I had to come out to the kitchen to check to see if I was doing my folder right and there he was, right on my tail, standing by the computer and looking at me while I checked out the samples. I know it sounds as if I am complaining but I DEFINITELY am not! It makes me feel so good that my 10 year old son wants to be with his Mommy and it won't be long until he won't want to be with me!!!
I had promised Joey that I would play tennis with him today before we went to get Mary so while we were playing, he looked up and drew my attention to George!
We were so excited! This is a Bald Eagle (I wanted to tell you that in case the picture wasn't clear enough). He was out looking for food. Joey was yelling at me to get the camera (I am thinking the young, in shape child would be able to get to the camera quicker than the old, out of shape lady) and by then George was gone. Then he re-appeared from the opposite direction he left from so Joey ran in and got my camera. I am not good under pressure so Chris took this picture when he came by for another peek for food. The chickens and guineas were hiding in the barn. They know the difference between a vulture and a predator (eagle, hawk, owl). We didn't get to finish our tennis game but it was worth it!
Have a great night!
