I love doing Halloween themed stuff, especially Paper Bag Books. I don't make paper bag albums, just little books filled with ephemera, tags, dangles and bangles, anything that looks appropriate. They serve no purpose, but I love going through them occasionally.
So far, I've done three books and participated in several Halloween Chunky Book and ATC trades. I've acquired some heavy 6" X 6" paper bags, so as soon as I get my office organized and all my supplies sorted, I'll start on some more (and larger) books.
The dollar stores are good for loads of Halloween themed paper supplies and emphemera, so when they stock up, so do I.
Last fall, I held a class on paper bag book making, and the participants all made their own Halloween themed books, as well as an ATC to use as an embellishment. The results were great, and I wish now I would have taken some photos of everyone's art.
This year I'm also going to do a fabric Halloween book as a change of pace, as well as a 'Zine-type book. I've made one Halloween themed Zine so far.
