Halloween Wreath

Isn't this cute! Who doesn't love goggly eyes? This is made by taking two feather boas and wrapping them around either a wooden or metal wreath base. The metal frames can be found in the floral department in a couple of different sizes. My sister showed me how to do this and I have even made plain feather wreaths for my house with chocolate feather boas. You just need to wrap them around the form and tack them in a few places as you go to hold them in place and then at the end to secure it. Then add goggly eyes or other Halloween decorations. This is a great way to use those Michael's and Hobby Lobby percentage off coupons.

Halloween Party Treats

Love these marshmellows. They dipped them in yellow and orange candy melts. You can usually get them in the baking section of a craft store. Then they just added a lollipop stick. So cute!

You make this punch display by adding Saran Wrap to the top and placing the plastic items on top. I didn't do this because I always use a calderon and dry ice. Every year the kids as well as the adults get a kick out of the dry ice. But I thought this was a super cute idea.

Custom Water Bottle Labels

Here is a way to add a little extra touch to any event. These are for a friend's 50th Black and White Birthday party. I create them 5 to a page and they are 8 inches by 2 inches. They will pretty much fit on any water bottles (these bottles are Ozarka, but I usually get whatever is on sale). I print them on card stock and use packing tape to waterproof them. Just simply use an Exacto knife to lightly score and peel off the original labels. Replace with your customized label and presto!...a nice extra touch! If I have the time, I often add a rhinestone or a nice little touch to the lid. These are traveling to Alabama, so not so sure how well the bedazzle will travel.

Halloween Tray

Isn't this the cutest Halloween tray! I made one last year for Kennedy's party. I did have a tricky time getting the rubber snakes and critters to coat with the silver spray paint. I had an old mirror that I used. It was so cute. My camera decided it didn't like the lighting at our party so none of our pictures turned out. :( Again, another picture I got over a year ago and didn't note the site I got it from!

Recipe Book

This is my recipe book (really a three ring binder). I decided to give this as a gift to myself while I was putting together two of them for my children for Christmas. Of course their cover was alot fancier and more personalized. They are always asking for certain recipes of mine. This is a great way to keep them at hand when you are looking for dinner ideas, party ideas or just to pass along. I just love mine and they did too!
I slipped each recipe the way I had them, in a plastic sleeve. That way when you are cooking, you can slip them out of the three ring binder and it doesn't matter what you spill on them. I tried to keep each recipe in their original form. As you can see some of mine are fancier than others. I thought about typing each one up, but as you know, it's much easier to find a recipe when you know just how you got it. Whether it be an email, out of a magazine or as mine shown above, a well worn, well used hand written recipe from my mom.
Often times I pull mine out and stack the recipes in a stack for the week, then refile them back according to the categories I have them seperated into.
It's a fairly easy, in-expensive project, just a bit time consuming. It is priceless to my children. I figured with as many kiddos as I have, I better start on a few more.
