Arts & Crafts From Barbara Crews, your About Arts & Crafts Editor With one week to go to Halloween, I'm more than ready for the festivities.

It doesn't take much to delight the little ones that might be knocking on your door. Put on a witches hat or a simple mask -- they love it when the grown-ups dress up too! Happy Crafting!
