Halloween Party Goodies

I have been working on the goodies for my sons party so I thought I would show you what I've made so far.
First I did the witches hats. They are striped fudge cookies and chocolate kisses with white icing I tinted orange. Do you think they look like hats?

And my version of cake pops..........

Creepy looking, don't you think? Would you put one in your mouth? This recipe made 38 cake pops. I got some of them too big, so I could probably have gotten more if I had kept them all a little smaller.

Below are the milk jug ghost we did. I got this idea from a magazine. Cute little guys, huh?!!!

We still have a lot of decorating to do and some last minute foods and drinks. I will post more pictures once we are further along with it all. We only have a couple more days to get it all done.

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks. I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done! Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why. For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present. I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration. So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids. They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book. Just something. For fun! This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!! I had lots of help! My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines. Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines! Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...

One Month To Live

Have you ever focused on life on those terms.....one month, 30 days, and it is over? There is a book by Kerry and Chris Shook entitled just that. "One Month To Live." If you consider, contemplate, study this aspect of life in an honest for real way - you just might begin to walk a little differently. This past Sunday, my husband introduced this thought of what would we do if we knew we only had one month to live. He passed out 3 X 5 cards and asked everyone to write what they would do. I will tell you the expanded version of what I wrote. 1. I would like to spend time with my family (bonus: at the beach) so I could enjoy the love and laughter and fun we always share. I would want time with my kids so I could tell them how awesome they are, how proud they make me feel because of their heart they each have for God, because of the love they share with one another, and because of the way I see them care for those around them. I love to see...
