For those who love Halloween consider making decorations and giving them as gifts. There are many people who go all out for Halloween. A special addition to their decorations may be appreciated. College graduates and married couples starting out may love the holiday but lack the funds to celebrate. Show them some options and let them pick what would fit their decorative style.

Organize your patterns. Find a method to organize your patterns. Having categories of types and themes can be a good strategy. Also, you may want to put patterns in duplicate categories. For instance you may have your Halloween patterns under Halloween in your holiday book. However, if you make Halloween magnets yearly, it may also be in your frequent use book so you can find it easily without going through all the patterns you might not use as often.
