Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Here is Asher's first Jack O' Lantern that he designed all by himself. I did the cutting of course, but he drew the face how he wanted it and I cut it out. Didn't he do a great job?

I've got pumpkin seeds roasting right now and Halloween, my most favorite holiday, is almost over. I hope you all have had a frightfully great Halloween!

Halloween Yummies on Hallow's Eve

Asher and I made sugar cookies today with some new cookie cutters that I bought. I think they are all cute but the bat and the cat cutter are my favorites. He's taking them to school tomorrow. I love the icing that dries hard, it's great for kids to take to school since there's not much mess. Next time I'll make enough to draw faces and details on the cookies.

Happy Hallow's Eve!

Surprise in my mailbox

I opened up my mailbox this morning and I had a tasty surprise waiting for me! My best friend Kelly had sent me a package with a cute Halloween card and some chocolate goodies inside. She went all out, too. It was Libs Chocolate! For those of you not from my area, Libs is a local chocolate and candy maker that has the best premier chocolates! Works of art each one, they are.

Look at the deliciousness...

how cute!

mmph mph mmm... it's a chocolate covered Oreo! mmm... *nosh nosh nom*

seal of yumminess

cute little ghouls all lined up!

oh yeah, it's soooo good!

Death by chocolate, what better way?

On Wednesday, there was a town Halloween Party for the kids and Asher decided to be a cowboy this year. Better than the cat he claimed he would be all year long... haha  So I made him this cute outfit including the chaps and matching vest. He's just missing boots. I'm in a non scary get up of a happy gypsy. I just love dressing up and could do it all year. In fact I might!

Happy Friday night! It's almost Halloween!!!!!!

Halloween Costume 2011

This past weekend was my friend's Halloween Costume Party, something I am always excited to attend. Everyone is required to dress up which so up my alley. This time I chose to be a Sugar Skull in honor of the Day of the Dead or Día de los Muertos. I made my head piece and skirt, and I used a blouse that I already had. It was a lot of fun getting ready and this is my first attempt at painting a Sugar Skull.

So here is my shameless gallery of pictures of myself. I love to take pictures of myself all done up when you can't tell who I am. I'll post my "how I did it" pictures soon. Unfortunately, my lighting is really bad and you can't see my costume very well.  Oh and nothing reminds you faster that you have a face the size of the moon like white paint...  oh well.
