Who wants to have the same Halloween costume as everyone else on the block? Not your kids! This year, give them a few more creative options with a few of these bright ideas. We love how charming these unique costume ideas look, and many of them would be fairly simple to recreate with the right time and a little ingenuity.

One of the my favorite things about quaint neighborhood cafes is the sketches they make in the lattes.  This small personal touch always makes me enjoy my drink just a little bit more.  That’s why I was really excited when I came across an article titled “Coffee Art” on womansday.com.  Now with the help of YouTube, you can recreate coffee art at home and impress your friends and family with an extra special cup o’ joe.

There’s a reason why classic memory games are still around—they are fun, can be quite charming and help improve a child’s mental skills. But you don’t have to shell out money for a store bought memory game! Make your own with a few of these bright ideas from around the web:

• Merriment Design recently featured this adorable fabric photo memory game, complete with directions for printing your photos and constructing everything from the game pieces to the bag you store them in! It’s such a fun way to put family photos to use. You could create a new game after every big trip, holiday or celebration!

• If your kids are glued to the computer, you can create your own Flickr memory game by uploading photos using this template. And, if you are on Flickr, be sure to join the Tiny Prints group!

• If you have leftover party invitations lying around, you can cut them up, mount the pieces and turn the individual images into memory game pieces.  This would work particularly well with a design that had a lot of images within it, like this fun Picnic Thieves summer party invitation.
