How to make Halloween dead finger cookies One of my favourite Halloween treats are these dead finger sugar cookies. They are always a big hit!

We have a soft spot for anything Halloween, and it's pretty obvious we have a fetish for Witch shoes too! If you have wanted to try your hand at decoupaging there are some great tips you want to take a peek at! This project is pretty simple and unlimited for your imagination! We knew we loved witch shoes... but there's something about those socks that are so funny! You will need some witch shoes cut from 3/4" MDF or pine, a 22" section of 2x4" wood, Mod Podge, scrapbook paper and embellishments. We grabbed our paper from Hobby Lobby and used K&Company , which by far has the cutest Halloween paper that we love! First we drew up some styles we really liked and sized them to fit together. We don't have a clue how to do free printables- but feel free to blow up these pictur

    The large white church at Portobelo is the Iglesia de San Felipe, which is still in use. It dates from 1814, but its tower wasn’t completed until 1945. It’s famous as the home of the life-sized effigy of the Nazareno of Portobelo, better known as the Black Christ. The effigy, depicting Christ carrying the cross, normally resides on a podium to the left of the altar, but it is brought out to the center of the church for the Black Christ Festival, by far Portobelo’s biggest event. The handsome altar of the church is adorned with gold images depicting various emblems of the crucifixion, including nails, instruments of torture, and the dice the Roman soldiers cast for Christ’s robe. Small wooden carvings ringing the walls depict the stages of the cross.    Behind this church is the recently renovated Iglesia de San Juan de Dios, home to the new Museo del Cristo Negro de Portobelo, which now displays 63 of the robes donated by Panamanians for the festival, some of which
