Ooops!

Just a word to the wise-use good quality sandwich bags or small freezer bags to decorate your cookies! The sides popped out of not one but two bags as I was piping the spirals on our spiderweb cookies! LOL! They just became chocolate blob cookies-just as tasty! However, I'm glad it wasn't really Halloween and these needed to be done!

A Great Pumpkin Day in May!

I really want a pumpkin patch!! It's not really priority with everything else going on here! But...

I planted sunflowers and the crows ate them! I think if I arch some chicken wire over them they won't be able to get to them. It will also keep the cats out of the bed! I'll see if DH can pick some up for me. Here's a helpful video from youtube.

What I need to get started

• compost
• seeds
• chickenwire

I'd love to have a rototiller, but it's going to have to be womanpower!

Though the eerie night is past, the memories will last and last!

I hope everyone's Halloween was fantastic! we had a busy but fun time with the kids in the afternoon and then they went Trick or Treating with Dad. I stayed home to give out treats but we only had seven kids! Oh well! Maybe more next year!

The award for best treat goes to... these little cuties!

I don't know who did these but what a cute way to decorate your wrapped mints! Some people might say you have too much time on your hands(whoever you are) But I say "Bravo!"

Keep an eye on "Warmth of the stable" to see how I transform these Halloween treat packages! Coming in the next week...

Real Life is in the Way!

I have begun work outside of the home. The first 'job' in 9 years, and I gotta tell ya' it's getting in the way of my happy hauntings! Here's what I have accomplished though...

Yummy pumpkin bites from Bakerella!

Desk vignette(sp?) Mirror salvaged from garage attic, spider candelabra from Superstore(3.99 after Halloween sale) gifted picture frame(my boys in a sepia tone pic!) yard sale metal pitcher and globe thistle seed heads from the garden; sister's throw away 'Beetlejuice' inspired fabric; and feather wreath from Homesense(14.99)

My fall cleanup acquisition, which I promptly spray painted purple and covered with a fall tablecloth.(I couldn't find any Halloween ones!)

My painted driftwood DH dragged home from the beach this summer!

My New Ride!

Sorry for not posting our Halloween fun for the past two days, I was busy putting some mile on my new Halloween broom! Actually it's not new -it just got a new paint job, heehee! I sprayed the handle black and used purple and green 'Duck' tape to stripe it! Too easy!

We also got some corn stalks to make Pumpkin people but the weather isn't going to co-operate for awhile...

30 Days...

Today I mummified the Teddies and left a printable message found at 'Don't eat the paste'. (I thought it was from there but I can't find it now, sorry!) It says-your mummy loves you!

I think the mummies/teddies(tummies?) will also have a treat (fruit nuggets) for the boys!
