The girls had their third annual Halloween party with our original playgroup. We were asked to bring a dish or treats for the little ones. I was very apprehensive about making anything for fear that I would muddle it up. Then I seized the opportunity to make something fun. I combed the Spooky Halloween cookbook I have and many on-line recipes and finally made up my mind that I would try something original; Create my own Halloween treat. For me, being original is a big deal. Just about everything I do is because I have picked it up from someone else. I have a tendency to even pick up mannerisms and behaviors from other people very easily. I must say creating something original gave me such an extraordinary feeling. I have reached my zenith, had my creative climax and now I shall wait for the next Halloween party to see if I can recreate my original idea, only this time I shall learn from my mistakes.
The photos below depict what I came up with, after a comedy of errors. It is the first edible I have created without a recipe, photograph or other cookery source. The best part is that I received heaps of positive feedback, which makes me all the more eager for my next feat.
The sky is the limit from here ladies, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day and the like, there will be no holiday too daunting for my creative genius….Like I have said before it is “the little things in life”.



so cute. love it!
adorable…Noah and I are so jealous that we missed it for the third year in a row:( Maybe one day we will be there for the party. I got your blog address off of face book and it is so fun to keep up with everyone through a blog. We have one too and it has been nice for family out of town. SO this will be great for us to keep up with you while out of town…maybe one day we will move back closer. Hope to see you sometime when in FL
Those are so cute! And tasty I’m sure!
Hey I was wondering if you went to the twins club Halloween party??? I wanted to go so bad, but we were out of town. You’ll have to let me know how it went (if you went)!
So…for photo editing I use Picasa (which came with our computer) and Corel (which we bought online). They offer a free 30 day trial of Corel if you want to test the product before buying it. That’s what we did. Eventually we’d like to get Photoshop but its crazy expensive so we’re waiting on that one. Picasa and Corel work great though. I definitely recommend them!
Thank you both for the kind comments!
Gretchen, I did attend the twins club Halloween party and it was a great turn out, we missed you all. Traci took a lot more photos than I did, so you should ask her to share them with you. I am going to post the few I have soon. Thanks for sharing your editing tips with me.
Very Fun and oooohhhh soooooooo cute. Complete with hay bale and all! I am very impressed! You are right! The sky is the limit. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
