I have spied lots of crafty Mummies creating these hanging ghosts so had a go at making our own. My favourite idea has to be this ghost family of material draped over honeycomb paper bells! The lady ghosts have lacy bow necklaces and we left some untied! I used a hot glue gun to attach the string to the polystyrene ghost body.

I realised after I had bought the lining fabric (just over £1.50 a metre and I bought 3m that made 8 ghosts) that the old pile of muslins I have left over from small boy's dribbly days would have worked just as well! So we made a few extra!

If you have a few old muslins lying around then try making your own. All you need is glue, scissors, some wiggly eyes and a polystyrene egg or ball shape for the body. Simple but spoooooky decorations!

I used a stencil for the lettering but you could easily do it by freehand. (I like the neatness of the stencil!)

All you need is a plain coil door mat, paint and use cookie cutters for your halloween shapes.

The mat isn't as easy to print on as paper, so fill in any gaps on your foot prints with a brush and extra paint.

My sister announced she was 13 weeks pregnant earlier this week and I shared the little book I made charting her first 12 weeks, week by week, by fruit! I have printed off the next 8 weeks (by fruit) until her milestone 20 week scan date.

This time, I have used large luggage tags (in pink and blue obviously) and have added questions on the back.

I loved keeping a pregnancy diary, but the ones you can buy online that require week to week notes, can be overwhelming and when you are a busy bee like my sister, an added pressure rather than a pleasure.

So I have jotted down little questions that she can fill in the blank space underneath which will hopefully become a lovely keepsake and record of her pregnancy.

Just got to think of how to present the last trimester!
