Mini Blacklights and Halloween Minis Hit the Stores

I'm always amazed that the day after everything red, white and blue goes on sale, it's time to start looking for Halloween items. Today my big box craft store has half their Halloween stock on display, including the Mini blacklights Lemax sell as purple lights. If you couldn't find any last year, start looking now!

These little floodlights are great for lighting miniature disco scenes, or anywhere you want glowing neon effects from bright white materials or items like fluorescent markers, even white paper like these printable ghosts. I'll start plotting and planning how I raise the scare factor this year, but I'm still not ready to jump right into Halloween yet. What about you?
